Now some idiot is going to try and make the argument a 1.08 kd is OP..

Edited by Blizgar11: 9/29/2015 9:11:47 PMNo, but most statisticians would have no problem making that argument. Remember that the average kd for the entire community is by default less than 1.0, a 1.08 kd is therefore at least 8% above average, when u are dealing with numbers of kills and deaths in the tens or possibly hundreds of millions, 8 percent is a massive number and can clearly show that one class is strongly out performing everyone else. Only an idiot or an uneducated person would be unable to see that

[b] THANK YOU!!![/b] Finally, someone who understands basic -blam!-ing numbers!

Figure it's about time I use that engineering degree :)

Now correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm not saying this to argue but you sparked a genuine curiousity: I haven't taken and advanced statistic classes since college, wouldn't the average KD of all destiny players have to be 1.00 exactly?
-
It would if u do not take into account suicides and things like that one time u accidentally jump off a cliff etc, these are all included in the overall k/d so the k/d for the community is actually slightly below 1.0
-
Are there numbers to suggest that a 1.0 kd is the mean?
-
Probably, but u dont need them because this is one of those things that can be figured out by thinking it thru a bit, u can't have a greater than 1 k/d; every time u get a kill someone else gets a death after all, so the maximum k/d u could possibly have for the entire community is 1.0, then when u factor in ways u can kill yourself (jumping off cliff, rocket hitting someone too close to u, etc) to lower the k/d, the community k/d has to be slightly below 1.0
-
Haha you are right; wasn't thinking clearly.
-
True true didn't think about that
