@pandareno1999We've had forumers who said their kds were .6 and they make diamond. It blew my mind at the time but if they position well and have the time I guess anythings possible.

As of right now most of the people who have K/D 1+ has this because they quit before they smacked. Having 0.6 K/D means nothing, I have no idea why K/D is a part of any stat in this game that people actually cares about, in CS or other games where solo performance is key it has meaning while in Apex if you have fun dropping hot to practice something in pubs you will destroy your own K/D in no time. Right now the stat has no meaning as anyone can have over 1K/D just by making sure you quit before you are downed completely however bad you are.

Same your role on the team might carry you 0.4 K/D but still you got 2.8 A/D (assist/death ratio), so it really dont mean diddle 😉 MMR should definitively not be a whole lot based on this stat as it does nothing to describe how good you are.

@Zkepz My kd is over 1 and I don't leave games when downed. All the diamond and above players I know are above and I know they also don't leave games when downed.

Watching streams many quit before it counts esp in pubs where it's normal to mess up your kd. Also as I mentioned in another thread K/D might not be applicable as you might have like 3 in A/D as a secondary breacher I mostly supply damage and my primary breacher keep stealing the kills, I get the same points so I dont really care. But fact is and I see this a lot i pubs with people quitting if they see they loosing the fight, for instance last night landing fight I got no weapon only an arc star so I stuck a watson, took 1 second and he quit before even downed. I see this several times a day, especially streamers quitting fast on drop.
