Run and Hide

These two players just ran and ran until the end of the game. You see, there are only 3 teams left. These people get points and rise by doing this. They do not contribute anything to the team. Look a...

This!

we didn’t design the game. We cannot tell people how it is to be played. This game is so freaking deep you can play it any number of ways.

for example k/d is insanely useless but some people think it’s the number one stat to point to their skill. If you look at damage done it seems to make more sense as a metric of skill… until you factor in depth. By playing the game like you would chess, the true masters of gun play have the highest k/d while having bare bones damage dealt, showing their patience and skill to know just when to pull the trigger.

You can win without your team firing a single shot at an opponent. I know. It happened to my team once.

Absolutely right. Kills tell you something about a player, as does damage, but neither is a direct indication of "skill" in the game, unless one completely forgets that the game type includes an object, and that objective is to be the last man standing. That can be done with a minimum of both kills and damage, including, as you pointed out, sometimes NO kills or damage. Most players wouldn't get much satisfaction from a low-damage, low-kill match, but it's efficient and it's lower risk. Unless you need the practice then the best course of action will always be to survive at the edges and start playing when there are only three squads left. That will edge up a player's win rate. Which, imo, is the ONLY stat in the game that I personally have any use for.

But stats are stats and people will always want to measure themselves and will always value most the one they're best at. Human nature.
