You can not have a negative k/d.

4 RepliesEdited by ScribeTheMad: 6/30/2016 6:07:15 PMYes you can. I don't think you can have a decimal representation of a k/d less than zero though, props on that. 100 kills and 100 deaths gives you a k/d of exactly 1.00 This is breaking even. If however you go 93 kills for 100 deaths you end up with a k.d *represented* by something like .93 (simplified for explanation) You have gone negative, you have less kills than deaths. The fact that it's represented in a ratio not using a negative number does not mean it's not actually negative. For example, if I have $100, and put $1000 on a credit card, I am now $900 in the hole. The balance on the card will say $900 but it represents that my finances have a -$900 item. (also, a lot of accounting documents will list negative numbers as ($900) instead of -$900 because negatives tend to confuse people/systems) tl;dr Anything less than 1.00 is negative not because it's a negative number but because it represents a ratio that is less than evenly balanced. Edit: Think of it this way, any k/d less than zero, if you took your deaths and subtracted them from your kills you would end up with a negative number. A k/d of .1 for example is 10 kills to 100 deaths, subtract 100 from 10 and you get...-90

Technically speaking, no, you cannot have a negative K/D.
-
If you have 500 kills and 1000 deaths the difference is -500, looks pretty negative to me.
-
We all know what is meant by "negative kd".
-
I go on crucible once, get 0 kills, and 13 deaths. I now have a -13 kd, however the game does not display it like that
-
I hate these threads. Are you trying to stroke your math-peen? Are you trying to compensate for the fact that a <1.0 k/d has a "negative" impact on your team? Maybe you should work on reading comprehension skills, and less on math skills. When one refers to your k/d being negative, they are not referring to the actual value. But the negative nature of your play hurting your team, or preventing you from winning individual games. My k/d is less than 1.0. Therefore, it represents the negative impact I have in games. As such, I can say my k/d is negative.

2 RepliesIf you subtract your deaths from your kills you either have a positive number or a negative number Any kd below 1.0 will produce a negative number Discussion over lol
-
I do not care about K/D at all. I am playing a video game.
-
Are we talking about K/D ratio, or K/D spread. Very important to distinguish.
-
Technically true since you can't get less than 0 but in terms of k.d. anything less than 1 is considered negative
-
Technically a ratio cannot be negative, so I guess
-
2 RepliesNegative is anyhting less than 1. Yes igey decimals but what else are you suppose to say? You have a decimal K/D?
-
Edited by Kil (Inept): 6/30/2016 5:42:03 PMYou've clearly not seen the people who get put on my IB team ;D
-
As far as im aware you can not have a negative kd. Context doesnt matter. Math is math. Anything zero and up is positive. Even if its a decimal. Dont be stupid guys.
-
......are you guys trying to math again???
-
1 ReplyWell, sure, you can't have a negative number but if you're under 1.0 that would be considered negative. Pretty straight forward
-
4 RepliesIf you average is always negative then yeah your negative.. So sorry blueberry time to git gud
-
Anything below a 1.0 is negative since that means you give away free points for the opposing team, thus having a negative impact on your team. No one cares if you tryna do objective, stop fùcking dying. That's all.
-
7 RepliesWouldn't it depend on if you mean k/d ratio or actual k/d value. The ratio cannot be negative. Take for example a person gets 8 kills and 16 deaths, a 0.5 k/d ratio, which means they they got half as many kills as deaths, but it is still a positive number. At the same time, the k/d value would be -8, and thus a negative value.
-
I know what they are saying, but you cannot have a negative k/d. anything lower than ZERO is negative. greater than zero is positive. we all have positive k/ds...they just might not be that good!
-
4 Repliesfalse. anything below 1 is negative. 1.0 k/d = 1/1 0.5 k/d = 1/2 2.0 k/d = 2/1 technically any decimal number below 1 is still positive, when talking about k/d its negative. its all about context.
-
It's literally impossible to have a negative kd. 0.5 is a positive number!
-
4 Repliesdoes this mean i can start talking about my k/d in baseball term? Sweet! that means i have a killing average of 870, that sound way batter to me lol. Sorry, just having a little fun.

2 RepliesThe Prince of Tides was neither about princes nor tides. Discuss!

The problem here is that everyone is talking about KD differential and not KD ratio when they say negative.

Lol this B8
