Uhhh.. No, OP. A 1.0 will always be average, not above average. I hope you're still in high school because you need to learn to math.

  • He's using math correctly you aren't. 1.0 is base average where suicide doesnt count against it. Where it does it falls into negatives as an average. A negative score can be an average equal scores arent always equal. Its like taking a test you start at an A for every thing wrong you go down, killed by another, everything missed you go down, kills from yourself, and everything you get right moves you up or keeps you above, killing others. It only doesnt seem right because not every game has it where suicides count against you.

  • Suicides get counted in that mess

  • Was thinking about this on my way to work, using round numbers and assumptions... For every good player (let's say with 2.0), there may be 4 less than average players (let's say 0.5). To average that K/D would a total of 4/5 which equals 0.8. Works for me.

  • That global average of .8 just means that those players are all under performing. Not surprising considering how many brain dead people play pvp. Logically speaking, a player who finishes with a 1.0 contributes nothing to their team since they're also contributing to the opposite team (in non objective game types). Suffice to say, players who finish with a 1.1+ contribute to their team's win while players who finishe with a .9 and below contribute to their team's loss. No one really looks at the suicide stat and almost everyone is looking solely at KDR. So, if you are at a 1.0, you aren't anything special. Just someone who can barely keep up with their deaths.

  • lol! I don't understand the .8 thing... for every kill, there is a death. I didn't look at stats, and I'm not disputing. It just seemed funny.

  • yes, but for every death there is not necessarily a kill lots of misadventures, lowers ur k/d but nobody is getting credit for the kill

  • Its .8 because suicides count against your overall K/D which makes 1.0 above average.

  • ummmmmmm. I highly doubt that 20% of all deaths are suicides. For example, depending on the game type, if there were 100 total kills, there were 120 total deaths, with 20 of those deaths (in one single pvp match) being suicides?! Please. That does not happen.
