Get rid of stupid KDA!

Screw KDA!
No one even knows what it is! It’s a useless number that means nothing to anyone.
When I look at post-game stats, I want to see how many kills per death I have. I don’t want to see a useless number that has no relevance to anything, and I certainly don’t feel like pulling up a calculator to do the math myself.
So please, get rid of this nonsense! Assists aren’t kills. Assists are failed kills.

Kills + assists/3 - deaths - betrays - suicides = KDA

Its a great way to tell if your a team player, lone wolf, or pulling your team down.

How about get rid of it in social playlists? That should probably stop the people boosting their KDA in social playlists.

Someone must not be a team player. Assists aren’t always failed kills, they’re exactly what they are…,assists. I’d rather have a guy team shoot over a lone wolf leaving the rest of his team to fend for themselves :slight_smile: statistically speaking most games the winner has the most assists (generally) because of team play. KDA is a good way to show it.

I feel that showing deaths is a way to be criticized and turn halo into a call of duty community. one game ill go 14 and 3 but the next game with the same lobby ill be criticized for being 5 and 6. I think it makes people criticize more in halo than being used as a tool for improvement.

I don’t feel features should be removed because it hurts other people’s feelings. I want MORE stats and breakdowns in fact. And if I go -12 I want to know about it so I can look at what I did wrong and fix it. Not get mad at the game because it told me I did bad.

I just don’t really care about it at all. I trashed my KD and KDA working on commendations and sacrificing myself for my team countless times.

Just play the game, have fun, and don’t worry about stats. I am a completionist so I have to finish my commendations though. lol

Assists aren’t failed kills, they show that you’re a team player.

I really see your point. I don’t know what a good or bad kda is. But I would with kd.

I just wonder how they came to the conclusion that an assist was a third of a kill.

But that’s my -Yoink!-! That’s what I do!

Someone’s not a team player.

If you dont like it dont pay attention to it, I dont.

Absolutely, at higher levels it’s all about getting team setups and create 2 v 1 scenarios to finish each other’s kills. Without this philosophy, if you’re playing an equally skilled team, every encounter is a 50/50 proposition and that’s no way to ensure victory.

I’ve never been criticized for having a negative K/D unless I play with -Yoinks!- and that hasn’t been since H3

Yeah, maybe in the Area stats, but in post-game carnage I’d like to know my kills to death ratio as a quick way of judging my game.
I really don’t care about assists. The kill is the thing that gives my team points, not assists. My deaths give the other team points, so there you are.
I’m fine with it being in the Service Record, but take it out of the post-game stats.

Just look at kills and deaths in the post game report? I don’t even pay attention to KDA. When u have 10 kills and 5 deaths I hope u don’t need a calculator.

you missed the point.
I don’t like assists not because I did bad and don’t want to see it.
KDA is always a bigger, prettier number than KD. your KD is the raw numbers. Kills/Deaths.
I consider assists participation medals, and would like to know quickly post-game whether or not I actually did good. (I’m hard on myself like that.)

i wanna see quickly post-game if I did good or not, not pour over all the field stats for that info and then start a game before I can get my daily win pack.

the field stats tell you if you did good or not? It literally takes a few seconds to find out how many deaths and kills you had? And k/d is not the only number to see how well you did.
