It doesn’t matter though…
It’s SWAT, so if your K/D is high, then you’re obviously accurate enough. Who cares what the actual percentage is?
I promise you. Nobody is scouring the post-game stats checking out what your accuracy percentage is. Nobody cares. Except for maybe the ragers who are angrily involved in the “controller vs MnK” debate.
Actually got booted from a fireteam because my accuracy was too low. Mind you I had a 2.0 kd that game but apparently if your accuracy is not 50% or higher you can’t play with platinums…
You’re afraid randos you’ve never met will have a bad opinion on you?
I believe it. There are ***holes everywhere. But people who care about accuracy ratings are the outliers. Generally, you really don’t have to worry about your accuracy rating. It doesn’t have any impact on the game.
Also, it’s just generally best practice to queue with friends, rather than randos. You’ll get a better experience every time.
Oh I made it to ONYX mainly with randoms. Currently working on ONYX in solo/duo as well and haven’t had too much issue there. I just thought it was funny that a platinum felt I wasn’t good enough to play with their team 
over a number that doesn’t hold any meaning
Yes, that is funny! lol
Congrats on Onyx. 
No, i never even brought up randos
Why do people keep saying accuracy is irrelevant? When has accuracy ever been irrelevant
Just out of curiosity, if you couldn’t see your accuracy numbers post-match (like in Halo: The Master Chief Collection), would it affect your playstyle in any way?
I couldn’t say. Are you saying it’s ok to miss more in one game than it is another?
Not at all. I’m just curious if you have been this bothered about accuracy percentage in other Halo games before Halo: Infinite where the numbers weren’t shown.
I’ve seen people with 4.0 k/ds with less than 45% accuracy overall.
No one cares.
Because your raw accuracy stat has no correlation to any other performance stat that would actually suggest toward your performance in game.
The only thing your accuracy stat measures is how many times your bullets hit an enemy (anywhere) per the number of times you fired your gun.
You could theoretically have 100% accuracy, and still have a massively negative K/D ratio, thus costing your team the game. Similarly, you could be the best performing member of your team by a wide margin, and have terrible accuracy because you take time after every kill to unload an entire magazine directly into the floor.
Accuracy as a standalone piece of data is largely meaningless.
Then why does it matter what it displays for you?
Because being inaccurate means you miss shots. If you miss shots, you’re bad at the game
It’s important to note that grenades and melees do not count towards accuracy ratings
This line of thought shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what this discussion is about. Who is shooting the floor on purpose to get lower accuracy?
We’ve already explained that you can go 30-3 in slayer with an accuracy of 46%.
It doesn’t mean you’re bad.
The point is that the accuracy percentage by itself does not correlate to your performance, so you should not worry about it.
Fine then. Let me give a more realistic example. What about providing covering fire down a hallway? You miss every shot, but your teammate picks off two enemies in the process and lives. You added value to that fight and brought your team closer to winning. But your accuracy percentage was lowered.
45% accuracy is actually considered top tier for MnK players.
accuracy matters and anyone who says it doesn’t in a FPS is coping. Accuracy = kills, assists and more damage which then = wins. pretty simple. usually if you have bad accuracy you’re a bad player.
