All I can say is that lifetime K/D is one of the most nonsensical stats in the game. That's why you don't want the game running off of it, which is at least some of the way that SBMM works.
That and I've seen plenty of people with K/Ds in the lower 1 point something range that are plenty good at the game. There's a million and one reasons why peoples' stats end up the way they do, which is why trying to match off of them isn't going to do anything but make the game simulate what it thinks should happen when people in the lobby have certain stats.
People pay attention to too much of the wrong stuff. And that's unfortunate because then the things they ask for end up making the game worse.

The third however is subjective and I can't really give an opinion on that one.

Edited by A_mo: 8/16/2021 12:50:27 AMI'm actually getting my ass handed to me in the game right now and even if we hadn't had this conversation I would still be thinking about how much less losing matters when the game doesn't feel like crap to play. That and the things that get on my nerves about losing just don't seem to be the same things that get on other peoples' nerves.

I have too much pride to accept defeat of any kind and would rather everyone lose than just me because than if everyone lose than did I truely lose? Isn't second place just the first loser? It was a great conversation and probably the only one where someone took the side of cbmm and didn't sound like an !diot. Well done.

I don't know if second place is the first loser or if its the next in line but I've been playing second bannana to this guy with a 3 point something in his emblem for my last 4 matches. Anywho, you have a good one.

Edited by A_mo: 8/16/2021 2:08:54 AMNah. Its obviously the game apportioning shot registration according to what your K/D is. That and I play it too much. Probably shouldn't bother me as much as it does but oh well. Its also the end of the season and 10 oclock on a sunday night so that might have something to do with it. Also, I think the chaperone has dethroned telesto as my most hated weapon. Not of all time though, I won't even speak the name of my most hated weapon of all time. Woo, that was a rough set of matches.

I hate when people run from me especially when I am going to still kill you thats the one thing that irritates me to no end in crucible.

My main problem is what people can get away with when they have high stats and the game is basing what can and can't happen off of stats too much. I played someone earlier and that thing was basically like a suction cup. A headshot suction cup. Oh well, now I'm just whining. Plus it was obviously time for a losing streak. Everyone has to have losing streaks. Except for some people. You have good one.
