K/D isn't a good indicator of skill.
Also Arena W/L doesn't work and wouldn't work because there aren't enough players playing for it to work properly and make finding games at low Onyx easy. Halo 3's ranked playlist populations would work better with Arena's system than anything else.
XP based systems and KD aren't supposed to be methods to search of games/opponents by. I just think they can give a decent indication of skill. More often than not, if a person is an Eclipse or higher and has a KD that's around 2, they're going to be pretty good.
I also don't see much of a difference between Halo 3's ranking system (1-50) and Arena's (five basic groups, each further separated). The fact that Arena has a low population is its main problem, but that doesn't make the ranking system bad. Did you ever try to search high TO back in H3? You'd never find a match, or at least I couldn't at low 40s.
