Didnt watch,  but just by the title I get the jist.  My experience the higher the K/D the more sitting in a corner they do.

Didn't watch just for the mere fact that is a ploy to get more views. This subject has been covered a lot and I say that K/D does NOT define a players skill. It can very easily be manipulated.

Take my K/D for instance...1.04. I am an average player who has good games and bad games. I have occasionally dashboarded here and there. Not a serial dashboarder but I have done it.

Now take my friend....1.40. He dashboards often. Whenever I party up with him I spend more time waiting for him to log back on then I do playing the game.

Take players with 2+ or 3+ K/D's. While some are very good players others are serial dashboarders.

See how they can easily be manipulated? As soon as you dashboard one time...that's right..ONE TIME...your stats are no longer "LEGIT". With that said, ask yourself this, How "legit" are your stats?

For me, it's all about SPM. If I can go 35-25 in KC with a final score of 4000+, I'd be much happier with that than going 20-5 with a score of 2200 or something.

stopped caring about k/d a long time ago.  as long as i am the top scorer on either team, im happy

This topic has been discussed a hundred times here. All of the stats in this game are deceiving when looked at from a far. They can mean something when looking at individual modes.

In TDM K/D means something because its an indicator of how often you go positive in a mode where when your teammates go positive you win more often.   A better indicator would be a +/- avg indicator. I cant figure out why over all the years this hasnt been a stat for TDM.  But to say K/D doesnt mean anything in TDM is naive.  I will take the guy who camps and goes 5-0 over the guy that goes 20-20 any day so Im not getting killed by his killstreaks.

SPM can be deceiving as it may be a good indicator of how busy someone is, but busy doesnt always mean theyre helping win.  If Im playing domination and capture a flag and play properly and help defend it the rest of the round, Im only gonna get points for kills unless theyre on top of the flag and I kill them for defend points. Same with CTF.    But if I run like a chicken and give up the flag just to get another one, my SPM will be fine, but I just gave up the other flag.  Depends on what role you want to play.   SPM when looked at as a whole may give you an idea of what role that person may play, but not how theyre contributing to the win.  Lets not forget that some of these modes like KC and CTF give off huge points compared to TDM, so you can never look at SPM as a whole either. Someone may like playing 100% TDM.

Win% is deceiving because anytime Im playing solo, I get the .28s on my team that goe 0-25 every round.   But if Im playing with a full team of friends, we dont lose.

While the stats may not paint the whole picture, they can tell you if someone is helping there team in TDM, may define if person is a rusher/defender, and whether they play with good friends or run solo.

For TDM I think the way better stat is take your total kills, subtract your total deaths then divide by number of games played.

This will give you a + or - number of deaths per game.

I have a 2.50 KD in TDM with over 100k kills with a +12 average per game.

With having a +12 kill per game it just shows I dont dashboard or sit in a corner and camp.

Some people can maintain a 2+ KD in TDM while actually "playing"

I commented on some stances that people left, but rather than comment on those I believe I will leave my stance. Rather than just seeing certain points as shown in the comments people left.

I did watch your video and I typically agree with your POV.

If you play Team Death Match (TDM or anything like "kill-for-score"). you're most likely a better player when you have a high complex ratio. What I mean by this is you take into account your K/D and your W/L ratios. because if I play 10 games and win ten games and each game I go anywhere from 35:0 to 25:5 my K/D and W/L is going to be pretty awesome, but if you didn't realize, top players actually have hundreds of thousands of kills and tens of thousands of deaths with lots and lots of wins. Ultimately meaning the more games you play and do well with the above criteria, you get closer to the truth of your gaming skill. (try calulating your true skill now)

If you play alot of tactical games:
Your K/D probably has nothing to do with your skill. Personally I don't like dying alot, it's frustrating for me to get killed for than 8 times in a game. Regardless, you're wins and your scores (and sometimes per minute) are what determine your actual skill as a player.

This is why when I play CoD I typically get frustrated when my K/D goes down, since I play alone, I typically end up in Regular TDM because I would rather get a crap ton of kills and crush little guys than try to hone my friend's skills so we can go HC just to lose a ton of games anyway since our playing preference may just be different.

This doesn't mean I am good or bad, but rather my playing style. which is that I play TDM and I am good at typically getting kills and winning or losing by a certain gap. but a 1.56 TDM K/D is only relative to regular TDM

sod kill to death ratio, it has its place if your a sniper or a kill tart, but i run and gun, and blowmyself up a lot, and i still have fun every game,thats all its about...bit of banter and winding up randy players:)
