K/D/A is misleading; an idea for maybe improving it

Maybe it would be better if it took into account the bounties? For example: you shut down an enemy for a 450g bounty -> your kills score and his deaths score both get +1,5 You kill an enemy for the nth consecutive time for a 150g bounty -> your kills score and his deaths score both get +0,5 (The standard bounty for a champion kill is 300g afaik)

After all 10 shutdowns mean something very different for the game than 10 consecutive kills on the same champion, yet the K/D/A score doesn't reflect this...

I'd like to see towers added to kill and assist totals. Feels bad when you take down 3-4 towers only to have an ally say you are terrible for not having a kill near the 20 minute mark.

Postgame should have:

Gold gained from kills Gold gained from shutdowns Gold given from deaths Percentage of game time spent dead

An objective based game that glorifies deathmatch based stats...no wonder there are so many bad players in this game.

you can see the bounty by the gold symbols next to the hp bar anyway

And then you see people saying "I am 20/5, I'm a god but my team is too heavy, can't carry", then you find out he got those 20 kills off a first time Azir and got a grand total of 1000g out of them. Meanwhile the support got more gold with his 10 assists helping shut down actual threats... but the K/D/A doesn't show this.

No need to make it so complicated.

KDA stands fo4 kills deaths assissts. And it states exactly that.

Also getting bounty may not be as big of a deal in one game as it is in next one. So I don't see aj issue with it. I had games where that 3/15 trynda won me a game....

But as was mntioned takedowns of objectives shouod be added. We need KDAT of kills deaths assists objectives

Nothing misleading about it, people just decided to interpret it however they wanted, no matter how you change it they will see what they want to see.
