Man I just don't know how some of you guys get these insane K/D and W/L ratios PUGing. I PUG only and sometimes it is just a fail fest and you can't do **** about it because no one is winning a 5on1 in this game with the amount of rocking they can do to you with ballistics.

Granted, I've only been playing for a month. After about 2 weeks I found out you could track these thigns and both of mine were around .5 and I thought that **** sucks but what can you do.

Well I started only dropping in my mastered 'mechs and in the last two weeks I've gone from ~.5 ratio in both to greater than 1 in both (though not by much) and have become so obsessed with it I only play my 'mechs now that I have great stats in.

I'm actually enjoying the game less because I'm so obsessed with stats like W/L, K/D, damage done, and accuracy with weapons.

I've had a few very good nights this week going as much as 4 or 5:1 in kills vs deaths so I'm actually quite pleased I've dug myself out of my early hole this quickly. Now hopefully I sustain it long term but man, before I had any mastered 'mechs, modules, or favorite go-to builds I was as low as .46 at one point.

why should kill/death ratio matter?...
im at 1.30 mainly running direct fire support mechs at 886 average exp per battle, with only using prem time from challenges.
k/d ratio means ****. you need a overview on driven mechs and damage done overall to make stats at least work a bit.

There are no stats, you will only play for fun from now on. Stats are meaningless. Ignore the stats. (feeble attempt at a Jedi mind trick) .

[Alienized]

stats that matter are: your rank at the next tournament

[Corbon Zackery]

Its different per level of play.

If your running mostly lights your ratio should be between 1.00 to 1.24 your going to have more death in a light.

Mediums you should be between 1.24 and 1.64

Heavy 1.64 to 1.84 due to survival.

Assaults varies between 1.24 to 2.00 depending on well you and your team play. That's due to the slow speed and mass fire that happens.

If your avg. 1 kill to 1 death then your doing fine. Its when you have 6 matches with death and no kills. Or when you have 4 kills with no deaths you see a change.

I run 80 mechs now with a 1.64 to 1.65 ratio. I consider that good since the majority of my mechs are 20 to 35 tons. I have been as low as .64 before.

Some key changes I made Low graphics settings. Try to keep your frame rate as close to 50FPS as you can buy a 28inch tv with a PC output. Press R to know were to target. Add advanced sensors to your mech its like a blind man learning to see. dedicate a year to sold gameplay.

Overall KD for me is at 1.36 right now (was 1.34 before I played a few matches last night). It's been as high as 1.48, but every time I get a new mech I prioritize to get it elited out and usually suck with them until they're full on basic (recently, my MDD-B was the exception, love me some MDD-.

Individual mechs of note:
HBK-4H: 6.0
CPLT-C4: 3.33
ILYA MUROMETS: 4.25
MISERY: 4.75
FIREBRAND: 6.0
TDR-9SE: 3.33
WVR-6K: 4.33

My all LB-X DWF-B will be on that list for sure once I start playing with it more. It's already at 2.75 with 176 kills (most of the deaths were before I changed the loadout from stock).

[Kesslan]

I think overall KDR can be easily skewed. I'm sitting at 1.08 at the moment but at times it's been considerably higher depending on if I'm spending a lot of time leveling and grinding out new mechs or if I'm playing previously established ones as well as affects pre/post nerfs/buffs to assorted weapons chassis and loadouts. I mean lately my KDR has been taking a nose dive as I've started focusing on grinding out my lights which are very squishy and I'm far more used to playing heavies/assaults. so I still have some bad habits with lights in general. Meanwhile I have specific mastered mechs where I have KDRs of between 4-5. Conversely some of my lights (Especially the locust) sit around 0.78 because well.. just about everything one shots you in a locust.

[Rhaegor]

Apparently I am terrible. I prefer not to look at mine.

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

Trebuchet 5J: 3.09

Centurion 9D: 2.87

Quickdraw 4H: 2.07

Timberwolf PRIME: 2.27


those are my best ones.

[Alienized]

2.17 in the BNC-3M.

dont even care about it and if you see me in battle you know why lol
i dont care about kills (unless for the tournament), i only care about the victory and will push hard into death if it has to be.
the best score is worth nothing if you lose.

Only 10 Mio. short of 1 Billion C-Bills lol.

[Catamount]

Kaffeangst shows exactly the problem with KDRs. Mine is a paltry 1.3-1.35, but yet I have almost exactly the same average XP as he does. I play to inflict damage and achieve wins for my teams, and sometimes that entails dying in the roles I play. Sometimes it entails doing things knowing they'll make me die.

Of course, archived stats are better on my end all across the board. I haven't been trying to cheese hard in clan mechs, so that KDR has dropped from 2.3.

[Dez Telinov]

Overall K/D ratio 1.61
Best Mech, TDR 5S, k/d 3.94
I need practice. I blame it on the fact that I have no rear view mirror.

[Danghen Woolf]

I see a lot of good solid positive numbers up here so let me get real for a minute:

Matches: 413
W/L: 0.8
K/D: 0.3

Best Mech: Thor B (K/D: 3.0, Matches: 2)

Worst Mech: 11 at K/D 0.0

Most used Mech: Hunchback HBK-4P (40, K/D: 0.4)

Costing the Inner Sphere military millions of C-Bills since closed Beta, haha.

After almost 16.000 matches (PUG) my W/L is from a peak 1,5 down to 1,1 and my K/D is down from a peak 2,5 to 1,3 round about - dont remember since when the matches count statistical for Elo and all that stuff but ECM, Seismic, Consumables, Clans (IS-Player) and Elo have their significant negative influx on my stats.

ECM bcs it does deny me a non verbal quick big picture of the Battlefield
Seismic bcs it makes it impossible to sneak up
Consumables bcs i dont use them as i dont see them as good gameplay element
Clans bcs i allways fight at a disadvantage and be less able to have a positive impact on the PUG success
Elo bcs it wants you to have a 50:50 W/L

But what is success wihtout challenge? Cheap!
