Why Do players with much lower accuracy have higher k/d's?
Many players that i have checked and compared my accuracy with on Destinytracker, have much higher k/d's then me.
I was thinking what i am doing wrong and can't come to a logical explanation.
Anybody ideas or tips, what i could be doing wrong?

Shotguns, bro. No accuracy with nearly all of them. Same with rockets. And swords. And more people than you would think love to hip fire AR's instead of aiming down sights. Also, the majority of abilities do not have accuracy associated with them (I think throwing knives are the only ones...) Watch streamers, and see how many shotty montages they make. It is kind've stupid.... And seriously, look at most peoples stats on this site: special and abilities is usually even with primary, or above it. I am sitting here with 66% of my kills with primaries, 22% with abilities, 10% with special and 2% with heavy, and I have seen people with 70% special. [b]70%!!![/b] And their second highest sometimes isn't even primary, it is [b]abilities[/b]! Man, I may be aging myself here, but I remember competitive games back in the day where a primary weapon (BR, DMR, Pistol, AR) was your bread and butter, and things like a sniper had to be found on a map with a limited number of rounds in play. You had to understand that primary and know how to use it because that sniper had a respawn timer - ain't no spamming that shit here, bitch! But now, this crap is nothing but "I need special!!!!", and when Bungie takes it away to force a more competitive primary game, people would rather cry and complain that understand the beauty of a weapon like a MIDA, or a Last Word, or a Monte Carlo... NOPE! Get out that Ice Breaker so I can spam shots until I run out and die so I can come here and complain about ammo regen like a classy piece of whiney crap.

1 ReplyWell it depends. Are you aggressive / put yourself in different ranges? Are you quick with your aim or are you taking your time?
-
1 ReplyIf they are yr 1 players then 66% of their shots were with final round efrideets spear.
-
1 ReplyProbably because they are getting their kills with the FULL RANGE of player abilities and weapons....and aren't focused on the game being a "shooter". This game is no more a pure shooter in PVP than it is in PVE. The Crucible was-----before the changes of 2.5.0.2----as much of a MOBA in PVP as it was a FPS. Which is why the Medal I'm most proud of getting when playing in the Crucible is "The Cycle". The medal you get for getting kills with every kind of weapon plus your class abilities. I'm proud of that medal because it tells me that I'm making good use of the full-range of weapons and abilities at my disposal..... ..and when I get it, I can almost always count on having played a good game.

DTracker tracks accuracy? What is that based off of, precision kills?

3 RepliesYou miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Edited by DirtBoiSp3cial: 5/2/2017 10:53:00 PMI just run and gun...it never works but it's fun

Touch of Malice, my friend. Deplete your ammo to the final round all the time and you're gold!

1 ReplyIt doesn't matter how bad your shot is if you are good at escaping death.
-
2 RepliesI have started to notice a trend.. clean up killers.. these guys use you as a meat shield and get the kill while hanging back and letting you take all the risk.. This isnt all players but, a significant number of low accuracy, high kd players seem to follow this plan..
-
3 Repliespeak shots/staying alive/taking the hard shot over holding an ads line...

1 ReplyIf you are attempting to determine a players skill I find it somewhat useful to look at their stats across all playlists. Accuracy is good but certain archetypes in this game don't require multiple critical shots so players purposefully aim for 1 head 2 body...etc...
-
1 ReplyAccuracy in this game is measured by whether the killing blow was delivered to the head, or another part of the body. Whether or not you actually land a shot when you fire a weapon is not recorded in any way that we as players have any access to. So looking at "accuracy" won't tell you much about if a player is good or bad.
-
You miss all the shots you don't take.
-
1 Replyif they use doctrine type AR they probably miss 5-10 shots from people strafing also some CoD kiddie like to pre-fire around corners. then there is things like shadestep and blink also twilight garrison.

8 RepliesThings that will help increase K/D but lower overall accuracy (hit/miss, not headshot %): Pre-firing Suppressing fire Continued shots on peeks Pulling the trigger before you are on target These all increase the chance that you will get first hit in a gun fight, which dramatically increases your odds of winning that fight in Destiny. Pre-fire a corner you see someone is about to come around, and you might get a free shot before they can ready their gun. If you are going to get pinched, shoot at one of the entrances to discourage the pincher from closing while your teammate(s) deal with the other. If someone is rapidly darting from cover to shoot you, just keep shooting at that cover even when you don't see them, as they can walk into it and take free damage. As you are swinging your crosshairs onto someone, pull the trigger before you are totally there. Sometimes lag or luck will give you a hit that you otherwise wouldn't have gotten. While these all decrease statistical accuracy, they are legitimate tactics to make sure you come out on top in a gunfight. And at the end of the day, that's all it's really about.

Because head, body, body with Eyasluna archetype?
-
Because, when they miss every shot with their primary, they switch to their crutch special to get that super legit "clean" kill for their totally dank YouTube montage.
-
3 RepliesDepends on playstyle I guess, it's much easier to be accurate sitting at the back of the map with a scout than being in someones face with a handcannon.
-
They're juggernaut shotty using pieces of shit who Panic smash to get all of their kills.
-
2 RepliesBecause gun skill is not the deciding factor of what makes a good player in Destiny.
-
2 RepliesAccuracy on what? Primaries? Snipers? If you're referring to primaries it's likely they have low accuracy from pre firing or spraying into a door way to prevent someone coming through etc.
-
I dunno if that claim is true for me anyways, I probs hold the highest k/d and highest accuracy in this thread. I mean my shots aren't perfect and I mess about shooting at dead ghosts from time to time with the common pre-fire usage. But im pretty confident its up there.
-
You dont hit shots you dont take. Or in your case you dont miss shots you dont take. What im trying to say is they fire more rounds at targets maybe miss more, but overall they are killing more. Make sense? Im not sure it does.
