4 Things More Important Than K/D in Overwatch

For as long as shooters have existed, Kill/Death Ratios have been a vital measurement for a player’s skill. Even with the rise of team- and objective-based modes in shooters, games like Call of Duty and Halo still put a great deal of value on the metric. Overwatch is not one of those games, but it hasn’t stopped players from playing it like that. And while a good K/D is rarely a bad thing in Overwatch, there are plenty of more important things.

It makes sense for DPS to have high KDR though. But I guess I see what he's saying.

31,768 k / 6,905 d I main 76 so I guess my K/D should be high. More kills mean the enemy has to go back and respawn which means more time for your team take the point/push the payload. :D

Whoa. What's your league, if you don't mind me asking?

Kupa2917d ago

Yeah, some heroes / roles should have high K/D. It's just too often a problem that some players are more focused on kills than accomplishing objectives. But with a K/D like that, I'm sure your W/L is pretty good too, which is what matters.

Ok need to clarify, that is only in quick play :D, I hardly play comp. I do want a golden gun, but I feel the 10CP for a win is not really worth it to me, so I play comp, like quick play pretty casual. In time I will have my gun but, I feel the 10CP reward is not enough for me to play real serious in comp. Meaning win/lose meh, I don't get mad or happy lol. It's more like whatever, either way. Here are my stats. Only hit gold in season 2, the rest are crap LOL

The best thing to do if you have a team and you want to improve is to stop caring about stats all together and focus on communication and teamwork. Focusing on stats leads players to play selfishly.

I wish more people understood the feeding thing. It's not just you you're screwing over!
