You're above average, it doesn't matter what anybody says, they're not thinking about it.
Let me explain, for every single kill, there is a death, which gives a global 1.0 kdr. After that factor in suicides, that leads to a slightly negative kdr globally.
So if you have a 1.0 kdr, you're above average statistically speaking, don't let anyone tell you different.
Also, people that want to bring your kd into an argument that has nothing to do with anything are grasping at straws because they can't make a legitimate argument against something you say.
Edit: There are people saying that this is to simple, that the mean average needs to be looked at. Basically if you take every players individual kdr, and then average all of them, I would be interested in knowing that number of bungie would like to do the work to get it, but I would still think this would work out to be slightly less than 1, if someone can explain how that may not be true I would like to know
Edit: Adding this quote from Sixclicks, if this is accurate then it's still very close to 1 [quote]To add to my other reply and answer your question in your edit, the average KDR is actually 1.049424.
You can get this number from Guardian.gg by looking at the average KDR of each subclass and the subclass distribution percentages.
So these are the numbers:
Sunbreaker: 1.06 kdr, 18.63%
Stormcaller: 1.04 kdr, 8.76%
Gunslinger: 1.09 kdr, 13.98%
Defender: 1.01 kdr, 2.14%
Striker: 1.03 kdr, 8.6%
Bladedancer: 1.11 kdr, 11.37%
Sunsinger: 1.01 kdr, 12.98%
Voidwalker: 1.05 kdr, 8.27%
Nightstalker: 1.01 kdr, 15.26%
So what you do is simply weight each kdr by subclass distribution percentage and then add it up. So you get:
(1.06 x .1863) + (1.04 x .0876) + (1.09 x .1398) + (1.01 x .0214) + (1.03 x .086) + (1.11 x .1137) + (1.01 x .1298) + (1.05 x .0827) + (1.01 x .1526) = [b]1.049423[/b][/quote]
Edit: it has been explained to me that what I'm looking at is a global kill per death ratio, as opposed to a kill death ratio per player, which in fact may be above one if you were to take each individual players actual kdr, and average them in that manner you would wind up with a completely different number. I can see how that would work, and I would be very interested in seeing the actual average kdr per player, on a global scale. However I still say anything that is positive is good, you help your team in terms of killing more than you die on a consistent basis.

If only I could erase the first 4 months of my crucible playinf
-
I'm above 1.0 but a ratio don't prove anything in my opinion cause if my friends can pvp but got lower kds then you just judging a book by its cover
-
I don't care what kd people have I just enjoy playing I also only use weapons I like, I just play for fun and the last word/mida is ugly so I will never use them Disadvantage but it's a game at the end of the day
-
I think you're the first smart person on forums I've seen in a while...
-
I don't and I'm average. It is where the fun is. Sweatys get upset and rage about kills. Those who are just terrible get upset because they can't get kills. Nope not me. I am average and that is where all the fun is at.

As far as that last paragraph I say it every time someone brings my kd into an argument

This makes sense. A lot of people harp on KD..and I get it. I do respect the slayers that can consistently get something like twice as many kills as deaths. When it comes to gameplay there are obviously other factors. I play with people that have better KDs than I, but can't seem to figure out how to deal with teams that shotgun rush for example. I generally try and create strategies for my team. I'm used to trying to find advantages, especially since my gun skill isn't as good as others, I have to in order to survive. As an example, trials last night. Other team has all negative KDs. They manage to wreck my two buds who have better KDs (1.65 and 1.2), fortunately their awareness was crap and I was able to clutch the win by out thinking them in several rounds. Next example a team of all positive KDs, one super sweaty 2.82 and others relatively high. We got destroyed in all but 1 round. KD matters but it's not everything.

When I finally broke even at 1.0 I was in the top 59% of all players according to Destiny tracker.
-
The Architects have the highest k/d ratio in the game
-
That's some bull.... wait what you said was just real life logic. I think I found the angel in the demons
-
Get your logic off of this forum!
-
I have no concern about KD. I'd rather win than be a stat whore. If I happen to win and have a good KD that's just a bonus. PTFO or GTFO
-
Just play the game and enjoy it. Only fun matters. That's what a game is about.

Edited by BraddyBo: 1/13/2016 1:26:44 AM.8-1.1 is average, 1.2-1.4 is above average

Hey mom someone has logic on the destiny forums
-
Yay I suck less than I thought I did
-
KD means fa, especially now that the Crucible is such a laggy mess!
-
So, that would make me about average with 0.8? Hmm... :)
-
My Crucible KD is a 2.01. Does this means I'm double average :)
-
Thank you kind sir! :)
