I’ve been discussing this with my friend, and can’t work it out. For example, when he has a bad game and goes negative, he says that he has a lot of assists. I argue that assists don’t affect the score, so what’s the thoughts on assists?
And K/D ratio gets mentioned a lot, but I don’t think that it’s as important as people make out. For example, I could get a 3:1 K/D by hiding for most of the match, ending with 3 kills and one death. I’ve not been much use to the team and have only got +2 kills. Whereas someone who gets stuck in and goes 25/20 has helped the game much more imo, even though their K/D is lower. Thoughts?
I suppose this is why there’s also KDA, it makes more sense to have this figure.

I’d say accuracy too, it shows if you hit the shots and the more shots you hit the more likely you are going to have more kills.

I play Warzone a lot and fairly often I fire at corners and edges to keep people pinned down. Sometimes getting a kill at certain distances isn’t an option, if they have a lot of cover or concealment (like the armories on Apex 7 when you’re shooting from the Spire).
I don’t just bullet-hose them, but I may try to buy an advancing group a few seconds to get to the door without being harassed. Still affects my accuracy quite a bit.
Most important stat? They’re all equally unimportant. Rate your enjoyment of the game on any arbitrary scale, and I would call that the most important stat.
The most important stat would have to be K+APG (kills and assists per game). This tells you that they are attributing to the team on a per game basis. Assessing would be better done on a per game basis rather than a stat in a single game. This would also show that people improve or decline over time.

This, ladies and gentlemen. People tend to forget that gaming should be for entertainment. I know that I’m a skilled player in Halo, but I do enjoy goofing around and enjoying myself. That’s why, If you look at my K-D/Winratio it’s not that amazing. I laugh really hard when people mock about my stats yet I absolutely destroy them in the game.

Yup. I was checking my K/D recently. I ended up playing a couple of Warzone matches and was curious- each one was a victory for me and I felt like I was doing pretty well.
I’m still under 1.0 (which is common for me. I like to really screw around with a halo game when I first play it), but was really surprised at my number of assists in this game. I’ve always been a team player getting a good number of assists, but I’m almost 1 to 1 kills to assists in this game. I’d like to think this is partly responsible for my current W/L record.
How do assists not affect the score? Basically an assist means an easy kill for a teammate – which allows them to keep their rampage going. When I have a bad game I’m almost guaranteed to have a ton of assists, and that totally helps out my team. If I lose a fight but get some damage and reduce some shields, at least my team can mop up and at that point we’re even at 1 death a piece.

I think they do. If I go 14 kills 16 assists 15 deaths I can’t consider that a bad performance. I think its a pretty good supporting role.

Well obviously assists affect the game, but if the rest of you team has gone positive and you’re 0-15, and you end up losing, it’s pretty much your fault, right? Even though you may have helped and had 15 assists, you still died and lost them the game.

Yes, obviously having fun is important. But I find winning more fun, and also find checking my stats fun. It’s interesting to see how I’m doing.
