KDR really is irrelevant. I say this because it largely depends on which mech I am driving.

Spots, damage done and assists are all much more important. I dont know why the devs do not have these stats;

• TAG/NARC Bonuses
  
• Spotting Assists
  
• Kill Assists

For example, in my opinion it means much more if you get 0 kill, 5 assists and do 600 damage than if you got 5 kills, 200 damage. The real numbers are those that show how much you contribute to the team. That said, a mech that gets 5 kills and does only 200 damage might also be a spider or light that manages to distract the enemy team long enough for them to absolutely hammer the enemy team, so it is subjective to your actions on the field.


At the end of the day, contributing to the team is what it is about. If you do this and have fun then KDR does not matter.

To support what Bear's saying - I had a game yesterday night where I in my Jenner-k played 'squirrel' for an overheavy team of assaults. I lived the entire game, got barely 125 damage (with /10 assists/... *snerk*) .. but I managed to break up the opposing line so that our blob could engage them one at a time instead of as a group.

Numbers never tell the whole story. in fact, I think I contributed more in that game than the losing game just beforehand, where I had 3 kills and 450 damage.
