does KDA matter?

If you're banned nothing matters.

KDA does not matter. Wins matter.

KDA does not matter because League of Legends is not a team death-match mode in an FPS; KDA has nothing to do with the win condition. There are a massive amount things a player can do to move towards winning that have no positive effect on KDA and similarly there are things that are positive for winning but have a negative effect on KDA. Consequently, KDA doesn't demonstrate how good a player is nor their contribution towards winning either.

Ultimately, KDA doesn't mean much of anything.

People say it doesn't matter, but more so how you continue to stay strong and try your best,

I say KDA does matter, and you're a fool not to think so.

Are you talking about having a good KDA in general, or just having a good KDA for one specific match? In general, your KDA does not matter.

While you are in game, your KDA does. Just my opinion tho.

My KDA in itself is kinda meh now at the moment, but I don't care much about it until I'm in a match.

Deaths matter most. Avoid dying.

Next comes cs, then objectives, then kills and assists are sprinkled in all of that.

Just don't "feed" and you're fine. If you get a kill, but the enemy shuts you down in return, that's bad.

If you get a 2v2 shutdown and an assist, then die, that's great.

If you're 3/8/20 at the end of the game and you actually contributed to taking down those assists, you're doing well. It's about what you contribute to the game, and your KDA should be seen as nothing more than a measure of contributions.

Did you CC that champion who was about to kill your ADC, die for it, then watch your ADC get a penta? You dun good.

a team full of 0/20 players can still win the game if they take your nexus while the enemy is taking baron for even more gold...

it helps, but its not what you should worry about. instead focus on being in the right spot at the right time and focus on making sure your team is also following through, winning a 5v5 is much more manageable than a 4v5.

Yes, but it matters differently per game, per champ, and per role. Avoid death but know that some times its unavoidable and/or for the greater good.

Kda doesnt really matter in lower elo but if we are talking like masters/challenger it does matter yeah. Basically If you can do as much damage as you can as a carry while hardly dying you are doing your job correctly. Dying is bad though try not to die past 4/5 times a game and you will be good. Some games yes you will need to die to actually gain something (most westerners dont understand this) but sometimes dying is actually correct. Most of the time probably not but yeah. Just focus on doing your job and not dying to dumb things and its easy.

KDA matters in that a high KDA usually increases your chances of winning. If you get kills and assists without dying much, you are probably doing well.

Are you getting objectives and contributing to team? Probably no then.

Are you not doing those things? Then yes.

kda matters but I feel it only really does during the first 17 minutes of the game. After that it's all about objectives and you shouldn't worry too much about dying if you'd be likely costing your team objectives or fights by staying too safe. But don't get caught out alone or just caught in really bad positioning and die for little gain.
