At your rank the usual DMR KD is about 1.5 or less. Once you get to mythic you get lots and lots of DMR kills and you will eventually get better with it. Not saying that getting higher rank has to do with anything but the more practice you get the more skillfull you will get with the gun.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

where a > b = d > c

I do know you're talking about DMR kill to death ratio.

Your mathematics are inferring that there where more kills then deaths...

...which is pretty easy to do if you avoid any playlists that have semi-competent players in them.

No. An average of averages (i.e. K/D ratios) doesn't necessarily equal 1.

My mathematics are not implying any such thing. You are inferring incorrectly from my mathematics, which is something else entirely.

Do the math yourself. You'll see the spread in the example game was zero (as it must be) while the average K/D ratio was 1.78. The fact that kills must be balanced by death does not dictate the average of the ratios must be 1.0. Average K/D ratio =/= global K/D ratio.

Here's a old post from another member that explains it in another way:

Posted by: Lord Bryne
Why doesn't the average k/d ratio have to be 1? It's simple, a difference in kills is not an even increment off of your k/d ratios. Suppose three people in a game go 9/10, 10/10, and 2/1... The kills and deaths match up, but one person's k/d is hugely affected by a difference of one kill (it shoots from 1.0 to 2.0) while the other's k/d ratio is barely affected by comparison (1.0 to .90)

I'm pointing out that the correct way to find the correct average in this situation is to take the ratio out of the equation then slap it back in. Fifteen to three right? 15 + 3 = 18 and 3 + 15 = 18 and 18 / 18 = 1 and one just so happens to that number I've been talking about. Yes, this isn't an average of ratios, because the average of ratios is a rather meaningless statistic, because of the properties of ratios.

Take the death to kill ratio from your example. One player had a death to kill ratio of 5 and the other of .2, the average of this is 2.6. Turn the death to kill ratio of 2.6 into the kill to death ratio of .385... . So, does the kill to death ratio of .385... have any relevancy in this discussion?

Then your mathematics are irrelevant to this discussion, I presumed otherwise. Either way, I'm done talking, if this post doesn't change your take on it, it isn't worth the effort to further argue and I can't change your opinion.

Seriously? What possible relevance does the overall K/D ratio have? Notwithstanding suicides and the guest effect, of course it's 1.0. It's a tautology.

You're obviously not thinking this through particularly well (or at all). The context of this discussion is "what is a good K/D ratio?". The average of all K/D ratios would be useful, since it would show how well the typical player performs (as I said earlier, my guess would be 1.2+, but obviously I could be wrong).

The global K/D ratio is about as useful as saying the sky is blue.

Of course not, which is why I didn't waste time bringing it up. Sigh.

I only look on the players who say things that are douchey, so You boost in Objective (Guest killing) so his opinion is invalid.

In regard to your question, around 1.20, because sometimes you have to fight a DMR of a more skilled player after respawning with a pistol or an AR versus a DMR thusly you cannot get a kill with a DMR but can be killed by it thus adversly affecting the stat. So 1.2+

Do you even know what "judge" means? It's a perfectly valid question. If rank has nothing to do with anything, why will someone's DMR performance suddenly get better at Mythic?

As you hit the rank of mythic you have more credits to earn right? As you go on you will get better when levels seem to get harder to rank up in. Was I good with the DMR when I first started the game? No. Going through the ranks shows you have played more then others. But in my perspective it is a lot more than that. Also can show how much you use a certain weapon, well for me. I've used the DMR a lot. Actually I only have 13k kills with it, my sword is at 14k kills. If you understand pretty much what I'm trying to say is that rank does matter if you are trying to get better with a certain weapon. Some people want a certain rank and to get that rank wouldn't you use a DMR or any other choice of weapon to dominate with and get better with it while you are trying to get the rank that you really want. Obviously this is my opinion but that's how I got so far in the ranking system was to get better with DMR, sniper,etc.
Not arguing with you, i'm sure you understand that. All i'm saying is that the more you progress through ranks the more skillfull you will be with certain weapons.

There's so many guests in this game so, avoiding MLG and SWAT, must be above 2.

I'm running 3.4 on DMR and over 7 on the Needle Rifle.
