Is anyone else's KD going down even if you mostly go positive?
When I first started playing this game I had a KD of 1.58. Since then I've played alot of matchmaking and go positive at least 70-80% of the time. Yet I look at my KD and it's been steadily declining until now it's 1.47.
I'm not one to harp over KD and skill but I'm just curious. Is this happening to anyone else?

Getting 10 kills and 6 deaths is eventually, with probable algorithms equals out to one overtime. However if you consistently get 10 kills or more and five or less deaths you will raise the k/d over two, just like mine

And its not harder to maintain it just because you have 6,000 kills now instead of 6. Because at that point you're getting small gains for being 10/1 but you're also getting equally small losses by going 1/10. If anything, by definition of the word maintain, its actually easier to hold onto when you have 10,000 kills than when you have 10. Because one 10/1 game gives you a 10.0 KD, but then the game after that you go 1/10 and now total you're 11/11 = 1.0 KD. A 9.0 K/D change in one game. at 10,000 kills total, each game is going to effect your overall K/D in quantities that aren't even noticeable. At 10,000 kills 7,000 deaths (a 1.42 KD) it would take 500 kills or deaths STRAIGHT to go up or down by just .1

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] General Noobus [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kmaster20 No not really.... Its doesnt matter how often you go postive. It matters how much you go positive. Lets say I have a 2.00 KD. To keep it you have to go at least +20 a game, if you dont do this then your KD will drop. EDIT: dangit guys you beat me to it lol.[/quote]No, you just need to go 2 kills for 1 death. As long as you finish the game with a 2.0 or higher ratio it won't decrease.[/quote] Exactly. He could maintain a 2.00 KD by getting 6 kills and 3 deaths every game.
-
Your KD will fall closer to 1.00 if you get for example +1 every game instead of +5 like you may have used to. This is because your total deaths will be going up by almost as much as your total kills, so they're eating away at the gap between kills and deaths you may have had before.

I play mainly multi team and even though I average like 40 kills a game it's impossible for me to die less than half that every game if it's an objective based game. Play more slayer is my advice.
-
The more games you play. the harder it is to maintain your k/d. to get your k/d to increase you have to be going positive (by large amounts) every game.
-
yeah, this is pretty simple math. Your k/d means kill to death ratio. That means that it goes up and down with... your ratio! If your first game of reach ever goes 5 and 10, your K/D is .5. That means .5 kills to every death. Game 2 you go 3 and 4. You're still negative, but your K/D is now .75. You learn this stuff in 4th or 5th grade.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RedChibar So the more matches played, the bigger the numbers get, and the harder it is to maintain the K/D ratio. [/quote] I don't think you quite understand how it works.

Guess I've been spoiled from MW2, I gota get my mind back to Halo. Thanks guys.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] UEG LEGACY I knew the moment I posted something on this ppl would say something about my acc name. Way to go. Yes UEG is pretty crappy that's why I'm no longer in it.[/quote] haha i was once in ueg for call of duty 4. but im still pissed at tanks for what they did to my k/d. cause my friends woould have 8 ppl in party and we had to play big team and the lack of lasers is stupid.
-
You need to constantly go at least 1.58 to maintain it. If you start out at 1.58 but then start averaging 1.30 your K/D will slowly decrease and level out at 1.30. Simple math, my friends.
-
Yeah, what happens is, as you get more kills, it gets harder to go positive. Example: you have a 1.72 kd. You play a match and go +14 with 9 deaths. Even though you went +5, your ratio for that match is not 2.0. (If it was 2.0 it would be more than 18 kills with 9 deaths) So the more matches played, the bigger the numbers get, and the harder it is to maintain the K/D ratio. Btw, tell UEG Gnome he has no life boosting swat.

It's your kills divided by your deaths, so if you have a 1.58 K/D then just going positive doesn't mean it will go up or stay the same. If you have 11 kills and 10 deaths in a game you went positive, but your K/D will go down.
-
Mine has been pretty constant through out the entire time. Around 1.6 and 1.7. But it makes sense it goes down, because when you start off you play random people. Most likely noobs, so you go high with your K/D. But the more you play, the more you're ranked up against people with your skill.
-
I don't think you understand the math behind the calculation. e.g 2 and 1 = 2.0 ratio, +1 spread 100 and 99 - same spread, but ratio is only just over 1. etc.

Despite the lack of visible ranks, TrueSkill is still used to match players of similar skill up. It's likely that you're going against harder players than you were initially, thus your K/D ratio will begin to normalise. I started off at ~2.40 if I recall and slowly dropped down to my current ratio, although that's partly thanks to lagging horribly or being disconnected in my last dozen games.

depends on hop +/- you go. when you go positive its only +1 or 2 and when you go negative its -5 or six even if u go positive more ofetn it will still go down
-
ueg is a crappy clan. but my k/d went down big time from big team battle and multiteam. i was a 1.65 then tanks screwed me n now im 1.32
