Patrik Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 i remember back when i started getting good in online games, the first thing that i did set as a goal was improving my K/D, getting a higher competitive KDR in communities was always a motivating challenge, but the more i spent in the game, the more the dead communities got, so i realized that it's not worth tryharding for, what matters is fun. are/were you a kdr guy?
dfarmer2001 Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 I'm not too big on my K/D ratio. I normally always play Fortnite, this is my number one game. However, I've played it for so long that my K/D doesn't really bother me too much. I started out as a bad player, I'm decent now, but it's factoring in my K/D since I started the game. With that being said, I'm not too worried about it.
williamserna Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Yupp!! I focus much more on that part than anything else!
Empire Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 I don’t mind people that desperately go for objective, but when people go 3x negative its fucking pointless no matter the amount of caps or whatever. I think it’s more frustrating getting spawntrapped by streaks because my teammates won’t stop dying for them objectives than to lose. If you’re pulling 7+ caps in dom because you can’t get a kill and spawns are flipping because of you, play another game mode.
The Blackangel Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Not familiar with the acronym, but from what I'm reading I assume K/D means Kills/Deaths and KDR means Kill Death Ratio? If that's wrong, the please enlighten me.

Darth Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 I won't fret over it as much but I do still care about my K/D. I think the whole point of playing multiplayer games where you can shoot other players is that you want to be better than everyone else. And your K/D kind of proves that point. If it's not good, I want to get better and improve it.

Head_Hunter Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 I will brag a little that I was a K/D guy with GTA San Andreas version, I was killing the pedestrians and police men like it's a hobby, and experienced bursting severally as well. Because the capital sends troops of armies to halt my progress when the killing became too crazy lol.

If that's wrong, the please enlighten me. You're right, it's Kill to Death ratio - it's something that tryhards in games like GTA V are obsessed with. Thus they kill themselves repeatedly when they realize you're about to kill them. In GTA online, suicide doesn't affect your K/D ratio.
killamch89 Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 I'm not K/D guy at all - I'm all about the entertainment factor. You're going to die a lot in most games so why not just enjoy the moment instead of obsessing over some stupid stat. I play videogames to entertain myself and although I do like to compete, I must be having fun.
Head_Hunter Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 The way you've chosen to play is how video games is meant to be. Me, forcing myself back then, was an act of pushing for my early elimination, and I faced it alot too.
