More points for positive kill death ratio?
Right out of the gates let me say that I am a mediocre pvp player at best!
That said I think more weight should be given to positive K/D ratio when scoring a players points at the end of a Crucible match. Despite being a mediocre player, I have on a few occasions ended a match with a positive K/D only to be outscored by someone with one or two more kills but a poor K/D.
Tell me if I'm looking at this wrong but the way I see it, if I get killed for every time I make a kill, than I have handed the other team as many points as I have won thereby achieving nothing.
So my suggestion is that bonus points are added for positive K/D that increases in correlation to the higher the K/D is.
This would make for a more strategically played game.
If this is not greatly supported for all pvp than maybe a seperate pvp mode for those interested in a more carefull tactical style of playing.
Thoughts? ( cringe! )

I would have to disagree a perfect example is me and a friend of mine played together he has a much better kd then me but mostly by playstyle we play clash alot he racks up really good kds im talking like 10.0 if you look at my kd its subpar thats mainly cause im dumb and dont back down he plays VERY safe which is understandable but in 1 clash game i went 24-14 decent not 2.0 kd he went 10-2 5.0 he was i think 4th? Herez the thing kd IS a factor of skill but its also playstyle as well my friend plays very very safe so while he feeds less he also contributes less score wise we dont want these to factor because the whole crying about snipers was people hated the camping right? I can admit theres too much rushing at times now and while i prefer that both styles should exist regardless of distain for the other. Kd = more score will provide a much more defensive and sweaty environment it will become much more unfun overall.

Edited by JDTurkelton: 9/14/2016 12:11:56 PMK/D fluctuates per game during the game. So if I get my super and I kill the whole team all clustered together I mass up 6 kills all at once. But before that if I took a few snipes getting to my spots I might have been negative. At the end of the match I could be sitting with a 2.X K/D due to an awesome super or a run of good kills, but since points are tallied per kill along the way I wouldn't have a very great score by this standard. K/D is a bragging rights pissing match number they track for those who put value in it. It's there for fun. It doesn't need to be part of the scoring system.

1 ReplyNo. There are already enough campers who don't follow game objective cos of kd. Infact there should be more points for following objective. Eg: capturing zone should give you same points as getting a kill
-
no as you said, having a positive kd already helps your team. your proposal would lead to snowbally games which tend to be less fun

1 ReplyEdited by GHOST 9o5: 9/14/2016 2:56:56 AMDon't sprees give extra points? And no. That's lame.

5 Replieskills are worth more pts, that's how it should be

What they could do is add an extra column in the final reward screen, and have it say "profit score" or something like that where it shows the result of (your score - score contributed to other team). I think this would achieve the result you want.

2 RepliesAnd if you don't cap a control point or capture a relic but go positive they should take away your primary weapon and replace it with a chair. SMH

3 RepliesWell, if you have a negative k/d you are giving points to the other team, as you said. So that's already counted by, you know, the score. Why would you count that again?
-
2 RepliesNo, because kills aren't the only thing that determine points. Headshots, grenade kills, super kills etc all award more than the standard 100 points so its very difficult to tell if youve made a net positive contribution or not.

18 Repliesno. The sweaty tryhards would run away with every single game. Nobody would stand a chance against anyone who consistently has a high kd.
