Update KDA to Reflect Gameplay
KDA is fine I suppose, as it is, but we've all been there when the tank support is called trash because they're 0/5/14. To that end I’d recommend the following changes:
-
Kills and assists should be merged into one number. No changes in the assignments of gold, but as a matter of public record, we should do away with the KS-mentality of the final point of damage gets the kill.
-
The KDA record should show the number of objectives taken by that player. This should include structures where the minion gave the final point of damage. As above, assists and kills should be the same number. I also think this number should reflect the number of dragon and baron kills/assists.
-
**The KDA numbers should also show the number of wards placed. **It strikes me as odd that I can see what another player is building (item-wise), and offer advice to them based on that metric, but not on warding which universally is more applicable to the player than a particular build on a particular champ.
In short, the current KDA doesn't paint an accurate picture of who is contributing to the team most. And worse off, it can give you skewed information. I'm asking that that data collected accurately reflect the contribution to the match. To clarify, since it isn't mentioned above, no change is recommended for the death count and should therefore remain as it currently it.
