Why people use K/D/A as an argument?

It always happen on my server, but I am very sure that this happens at NA, too.

It is always the same thing: you are 0/9? You are automatically a troll, and everything you say is wrong, no matter how much you try to argue. You are 21/11? Then you carried the game alone, no matter how much your allies tried everything to protect you.

Granted that K/D/A can be an high evidence that someone is trolling, but K/D/A alone cannot be used to accuse someone from trolling and ruining the match. Otherwise, every support and full tank player in the game would be a troll, as they almost always end up with few kills but lots of deaths, due to their own playstyle.

Maybe someone died a lot because they are having a bad day, or because they sacrificed themselves to do lots of damage to the enemies so that their allies could finish them off, or they are just making lots of mistakes but have no intent at all to troll.

Once I was using RekSai, and ended up dying a lot because the enemy Shaco was constantly invading my jungle. Since I was building tanky (I had to purchase a item 2049 to prevent more invades too, even before I purchased a complete Cinderhulk) I didn't had enough damage to finish off enemies. The combination of both factors meant that I ended up 0/4/3. My bot lane started to use this to blame me for the defeat and they insulted me a lot. Despite our efforts, the toxicity on this game prevented us from winning the game.

The reverse is also the truth: Often if someone had lots of kills but died very few times, they will use that to say that they carried the game alone, or that the allies had little to no contribution. For example, an ADC that ends up "carrying" the game, despite the fact that the support and the jungler had to peel for them, and the ADC still ends up taking all the credit for winning the game.

In short: K/D/A is by no means an argument that can be used to dismiss or endorse something. It may be an indicative that someone is trolling, but this is still not a reason to insult, or blame, or be toxic with anyone.

If you are 0-9 you are definitely a feeder. you spend more time dead than alive and you give gold to the enemy team. Basicallly you are worthless and the game is practically 4v5.

If you have a bad day that doesn't make you less of a troll.

Don't try to justify feeding.

Personally, i think 0-9 is incomplete information. If you're 0-9-42, it was just a long game and you were probably playing support. If you're 0-9-2, then you are most definitely feeding, intentionally or not.

It's KDA, not KD. :c

However, it is wrong for the 20/9 guy to tell the 0/9 one he is a feeder, because he fed easily triple as much gold as the 0/9.

I main a support gold 3 account. I main zyra support. If you are 0/9 then u are feeding. Since you dont mention anything in reference about assist, then we are going to assume that you are feeding. ive gone 0/9/25. But as you see a difference exist

Your first error was trying to argue.

Most of the time high deaths indicate feeding, but not always. My team won a match i was 0-21 in, but I was able to run around and cause the other team to chase me and pantheon around the whole match. I must have had them spending half the match chasing me, giving the rest of the team plenty of time to push and then win. I basically pulled a proxy singed, but really a proxy lucian. They were chasing me like maniacs for 50 gold a kill.

Yeah, yeah, I'm a B5 baddie. It wasn't pretty, but it worked. I'm sick of you mental midgets that automatically equate KDA with you knowing what you are doing. I literally have had players tell me in matches that objectives mean nothing, and kills win matches. Objectives > kills, bitches. Gnar
