I came here hoping for some type of 8 in 24 situation. I am disappointed.

Mine is around 1.57 and I consider myself bad at PVP. I think anything over 2 is good.

Because the median K/D is around .8

I always assumed ELO was used for deciding good or not.

Its not

Ummmm..... K/D didn't help me get my bachelor's degree, Master's Degree, or career. My K/D has been attributed to my amount of alcohol I've consumed while playing Destiny or any other game. In other words, who cares. Unless you're a kid..... Then who cares because you should be outside instead of sitting in front of tv obtaining diabetes.

To me, KD is important only to note whether the player is positive or negative. If the players KD is negative, it indicates a lot of poor decision making such as double peeking snipers, solo rushing with shottie, or poor primary gun skill. These factors can really hurt a players overall performance in a team game mode, thus, the reason I overlook them when building a team. If a players KD is mildy postive 1.1-1.4, it indicates on average much better decision making and faster reaction times. It shows (especially in trials) that they are a team player, or are decent against 1 or 2 enemies on their own. If a players KD is mid-range positive 1.5-1.8, these players usually exhibit great decision making, fast reaction times, and excellent primary gun skill. It also demonstrates they are able to handle 2 v 3 and 1 v 3 situations at least part of the time. These players also usually give good callouts, and will play smart, holding orbs and maintaining objectives. To me, this is the ideal player, someone in mid-range with something to prove, but also something to gain. If a players KD is high range 1.9-3.0, we know that they have superb reaction times, excellent primary and secondary gun skill, and almost always make the right decisions in engagements. Usually that KD will be accompanied by a 80% or higher win/loss ratio. If they have a high w/l this means they are a solid team player, and play to win, rather than for KD. If they have a high KD but less than 70% wins, they are playing for KD and not the win. Most of the time, high KD players are condescending to others not on their level, and are rather brash to their teammates, as they usually believe they can do it all on their own. A lot of the time this is true, more power to them. But, this is the reason I wouldn't ever play with someone like this unless they're a friend, is because I play the game to have fun. I have a positive KD and can deal without having someone talk shit to me about KD. In Destiny, the average KD is around a 1, or less, so the players that are higher than that are usually quite good and excel at the game. The reason being, supers, grenades, power melees all are abilities that you can't exactly plan for in every scenario. In 6v6 you could have these coming at you from all directions. In 3v3, a more targeted area, but can still easily overwhelm players. That's why Destiny can never be truly competitive, because there are too many things that would need to be removed to create an equal playing field if the players are on similar stat levels. KD is important in determining skill level, but not the only deciding factor. I've played several flawless cards with players with negative KDs because they went try hard and gave it their all. Communication, chemistry, and team dynamics are all essential for victory. So while a 1.1-1.4 KD might not be fantastic, given that player another look, because he may just be the one to help you to the lighthouse.

I have a 1.0 kd and according to DTR that is top 43 percent so...
