Let me preface by saying I carry a high KDR (10-15) so this is not a an anti KDR rant.

That said KDR is a skewed stat that does not take into account a mech's role on the field and really only applies directly to brawlers. For instance, most lights have a lower KDR while a LRM boats usually boast a very high KDR, even though without the spotting assists most LRM boats would be blind.

I would like to see more relevant stats on the board like Hit %, kills/deaths per match to replace KDR, number of team kills, assists per match, spotting assists per match, component destruction per match etc.

I love stats, along with many other players, and I am sure we would like to see a more in depth view of our performance.

i agree.

though my KDR is goin up and up since i am piloting a jenner (well, now i am with the K Variant, now it is going down...^^)

But yes, KDR is a useless e-peen stat. Stats should be more detailed, for example

Kill Shots: x
Assists: y
Spotting Assists: z
Damage Done: xxxx
Average Damage per Match: yyy

and many many more

And replace the meaningless accumulated C-Bills stat. Make it work like the XP stats: lifetime accumulated C-Bills and lifetime accumulated C-Bills per match. The fact that I just spent some of my C-Bills shouldn't change the statistic.

It's a bit more rare in this game than in others to play against the same players repeatedly, but personally I love to see stats like "[this player] has killed you the most" and "you've killed [that player] the most"

And breaking down kills by component...number of kills by Headshots, Torso, Legs. And number of times you've been killed by each of those components destroyed.

And the Mechs/Variants that you kill or kill you the most.

There's tons of interesting ways to breakdown the stats of a game, but it's very lacking right now to say the least.
