I've seen so many people who want to put themselves on a pedestal as a great pvp player because of a high kdr, in a single playlist, while putting others down with a higher overall kdr, and I don't get it.
Examples:
'Your trials kd is negative, therefore your bad' meanwhile he's got a higher kdr in literally every other playlist, on all characters.
'Your kdr in rumble is worse than mine, git gud scrub' meanwhile his kdr is negative in everything else.
'You have a negative kdr in trials, therefore anything you say about crucible means nothing' meanwhile every kd, even overall kd is higher than theirs.
'I'm top 1% in assists per game, so I'm a better team mate than you, git gud scrub' meanwhile every kdr is negative
These are all things I have seen people say to other players.
The way I look at it, if you have an overall positive kdr, you're an asset to the team more often than not. In control this may not be the case, as a negative kd could have many captures which allow more team scoring, but hopefully you guys can see my point.
Anyone else think it's ridiculous to find the one stat that you may excel at in order to trash talk others? Got any stories you'd like to share?

I think KD should be removed from the game and they should just show game score & a score per minute type statistic like in BF. All KD does is promote camping, and "elite" players who are actually not elite, but use their teammates as bullet shields and are scared to be the first one into enemy lines. SPM was always a better stat imo, it showed just how much you were doing in a match, your impact on the game. If you had a high SPM there was no way you weren't having a massive impact on every game you played. If you had a low SPM, it's probably because you were getting a few sniper kills a game not scouting, not tagging, and solely trying to focus on kills and maintaining your "awesome 4KD" with only 4 kills. SPM measured your usefulness as well as your activity in every game and they could do with it in destiny instead of KD.
