This is silly. KDR doesnt matter. Stats just dont matter, except maybe to yourself. If you feel so strongly, keep a piece of paper and recors those extra kills and add them to your KDR.

[Ghogiel]

For all we know KDR and stats may play into the CW or faction standings, or something else like that.

I ruined mine with like 50 deaths when I was pug grinding out my first mech. In the closed beta I could keep it over 10 without issues pugstomping with random, and randomly skilled, people in TS.

I have "ZERO" issues with premades, oh, and my EGO??... What are you talking about..?? I have been in multiple TeamSpeak servers, and listened to "CLAN" premades do this and that, and also puff up their chests after stomping pugs in the pre MM tweak days..

Let me clue you in on something "newbs that don't even know where to find their STATS in the profile section are not the guys doing the DC before death", and don't even try to sell me that load...
.
I'm not naming names, (POLICY ON NAME AND SHAME THREADS), but I have listened to "CLAN PREMADES" doing this to preserve their K/D ratio, and not just 1 CLAN, or Brigade, but several TS servers run by CLANS/Brigades... Also, where did I blame "YOUR" brigade...?? Why so defensive.??

SORRY.. I do not Disco before Death Chief, you see i'm a Clan leader http://www.teamakc.net/news.php

I tell you what, private Messege me, send me a pilots list of your guys, and I will take you up on that offer, I will e-mail you screenshots and what not if it happens... How's that work for ya..??

You are spot on bro.

I'm a newb. Proof is that I just discovered today where my combat stats were.... (coincidental that you said that).

The only people who care are the ones who got jacked up K/D ratios pugstomping in the early open beta. Now, those new players are, first and foremost, not running around in trial mechs, and two they're actually getting better at playing. The vets precious K/D ratio will, no matter how hard they try, slowly go down to a more normal level.

[Bloody]

same reason why alot of folk asking for new groups post their K/D ratios or demand that their new playmate have a decent k/d ratio.

[Hardin4188]

My father used to complain about people doing this in world of tanks all the time, but I never really see it nor do I really care.

[LionOne]

If there was a stat that tracked disconnects, it would fix this when the game becomes stable.

Right now enough people get dropped due to bugs I don't know how much that would help.

[Termius]

Never knew it recorded K/D ratio untill reading this post, nor have I encountered anyone who Alt-f4's before they die. All I know is that when I know i'm about to be killed, I keep on firing to the bitter end in hope of my team being able to win it for me.

[pedropars]

Yeah its realy annoying,seriously if you´re going to get destroyed,do something like a suicidal run or something,if you´re a light do a final spotting run and try to spot some enemies for your team before you go down or try to get into the capture point,if you´re a medium or heavy try to destroy or at least damage a certain component of an enemy mech so even if you dont take him out you will be helping the team a bit,if you´re an assault mech go head on against some other enemy mech and hit him with all you got!

That must be the same guy from last week, I think he was named "PGI breaks everything" or something similar back then.


Played with him once, started talking trash and hitting team members. Cored his *** not much later, felt good too.

Same guy I bumped into last week. He kept telling others how uber he was..

Once we get Elo that stat page should be removed or replaced with Elo data.

Yeah then we can have people disconnecting to preserve their ELO.

Hopefully, with something like ELO, you take the stats hit when you join and it's up to you to pull yourself out of the hole.

[Particle Man]

It is considered griefing and they want you to report those people.


so do it.

[Grimnir79]

This is also I'm having trouble understanding. Where is the fun in disconnecting, ALT-F4'ing, hiding etc. I always fight to the death, it is the only way to fight.

[Ghogiel]

So do I report people who run off in a random direction and just power down the whole match?

[Boymonkey]
