An idea about revives and KD relation.

Getting revived should not save your KD but only the ticket to your team (well it saves by default because you don't have to spend a ticket respawning). Revives actually throws kd off the window and it makes it completely unreliable. I see al ot of people with 30-40 kills and died like 5 times. You know the person received like 10-20 revies or so while someone else has a 30/25 kd and received like zero revives. You would say one of them is really good player while the other is not so much judging from the KD but you don't know the circumstances like how many times a person were revived.

My proposal is to make it so that the statistics board say how manytimes you were revived or say the exact times you died even if you got revived. I mean after all you died to someone.

Reviving should stay to work with ticket system so it has team play synergy but it should not save your KD if you die. Or at least document it in the statistics so we can have a better understanding of people's KD.

If we are at it they should separate infantry kills from vehicle kills as well.
AlphiB why spending full time on the ground waiting for revive and nobody revives you is contributing to the team how exactly? Waiting full time 10 times is like half the round. I know some people actually do that just to save their kd. That is actually not good for the game because he is just lying on the ground instead of running around interfering with the enemy or capturing.
Just because you think you are helping the team with saving ticket and waiting on the ground full time which is like what 1 minute? and you do that every time you die might not be helpful for the team. Revives mean something if it is rapid so you are back in the fight quickly without having to wait for spawn screen and timer. If you wait out the entire time and you don't get revived any way is actually just a waste because you could be running around killng people costing ticket to the enemy.

The scoreboard should only hold the following information
Rank + Name + Points ; Rank + Name + Points
No K/D, no Ping nothing else

I don’t really mind one way or another, but I would question the unhealthy obsessions with getting “the right” KD. Especially in a game where comparison is ultimately pointless due to vehicles and the kills you can rack in them.
Also:
You would say one of them is really good player while the other is not so much
Actually, if the one getting “the good KD” got them racking randos from a perch as a lone wolf, and the other got them through offensive and defensive kills on objs and got revives because they’re playing alongside their team, I’d want to praise the latter.
Edit: actually I change my mind, I wouldn’t want to see this implemented. People are already impatient enough when it comes to tapping out, I wouldn’t want any incentive to stay in to be removed.
