You see, people take KDA too seriously as a measurement of how well one is doing. I could give you reasons why, but I'm sure you've heard them before. Furthermore, if you were to (foolishly) use KDA as a hard measure for how well you're doing,

As I've said "it's flawed and has it's problems.", but that is the one and only reason it's there to begin with.

it won't be distorted by executes much. I wouldn't be surprised if you get only 1 every ten games. That isn't much to change your final and overall score.

As I've said "but counting executes as deaths makes said stat even more flawed", it won't make it perfect but it will make it better at what it's supposed to do, why not improve something at what it is supposed to do? Sure it's a minor improvement, but it's not like changing it will take years of coding.

Anyway, my biggest concern is how much support the op has for being a moron, his teammate is right, the fact people support something which is flat out wrong is what bothers me, not how much impact that has on anything(which is very little).

Another thing to consider is that executes ARE bad for you. You lose time that could be spent cs'ing or getting kills.

Have you ever seen your average execute? Sure some rare occasions are derps in the jungle, here are the more common ones:

Dives where you don't take damage/cc, your opponent loses cs, your wave is pushing anyway, and since your opponent is dead, objectives likely won't be taken, even if you survived the dive you would have to get to a safe spot and recall(due to being low), which wouldn't save you much time. Cases where you are being chased and can't escape, you run towards enemy towers, drawing enemies inside their base, making them miss cs exp and objective control, generally giving your team time to either take or put themselves in place to contest them, suicide singed was a thing for a reason, and he did more than just getting executed(as in dying). Sion cheesing buffs(you solo "invade" the enemy buff on top lane side, die to it, take it with your passive).

Your average execute(the way they generally play out that is) is generally a good play, with the time lost on death being compensated by wasting the time of enemies, but anyway, even if you want to argue that it's not that good, I'm pretty sure you know that an execute is much closer to "not a death" than an "actual death", and since k/d/a is supposed to be a measure of performance(flawed and blah blah blah) counting executes within it stands against its purpose, so might as well change that if anyone feels like it.

(but mostly op and everyone who upvoted him are idiots)

Just for you, I'm sure Rito would instill a tracking system of KDAH, "H" here being Humiliation. So good job, cause you're going 0-0-0-1

Unfortunately executes do a very poor job at indicating one's performance, so no point at keeping track of them in the k/d/a bar, maybe some stat at the end of the game nobody will bother checking.

I guess if they do this though they'd have to start you off each game with 0/0/0/1, considering the fool you are making of yourself of with this nonsense.

See, this is the problem. You don't know what a KDA is if you're saying it goes against it. Let me break it down.

Kills

Deaths

Assists

Notice how the second one is DEATHS? I wonder what happened when you hit 0 health to the turret. Are you saying the turret did not kill you?

If we put a Kill counter on the turret, would that make it easy for you? Would you understand it better? Because I'm assuming you think someone has to get a kill to give you the death, but technically the turret is getting the kill.

No, it's there to give a certain reflection of your performance.

Hell, why kills don't count creeps/monsters? Did they not die? Did they not get killed by you?

Let me guess, it's supposed to be "champion kills"? And yet all I see is the word "kills", hell let me repeat that:

Kills

Kills

Kills

So why don't they count monsters and creeps? clearly that stat is not working as intended, and if we consider a crazy notion that it actually means "champion kills", even though the word "champions" isn't written there(hence it's lunacy to consider such a thing, but let's maintain that notion for a moment), then why would such a thing even be there? To give some indication of how the player is doing? Heresy!

It's not like we could just see "Deaths" as "Deaths to champions", which would be basically the same thing, following the same insane idea that k/d/a is supposed to give some indication of performance.

But yeah I totally see it your way now, you people totally don't have your heads up your asses.

Your statement about KDA makes it sound like KDA is based only on Player vs. Player stats,

No, my point is that K/D/A focusing on the pvp parts ends up with it giving some indication of how well that player is doing, which is what it's supposed to do, hence it should do that, which is the thing which is supposed to do, apparently this is too complex of an idea for these boards.

and that jungle monsters, turrets, and minions don't or rather shouldn't have an effect on a player's KDA if they die to them. Understandably, if someone does happen to dive turrets and get executed, it counts as a death for you because you died. I don't see what the problem is, then, if your opponents get no Kill awarded for said death. Your point of minion kills being tracked under your actual KDA rather than your CS (which is already tracking this) is invalid.

"Your argument is invalid because I said so", talking about hilarious, if "deaths" are "deaths" why aren't "kills" "kills"? if you insist so god damn hard about taking deaths literally why not take kills literally as well? Why shouldn't minion/monster kills count towards kills then? did they not get killed? were you not doing the killing of them? Your logic is so moronic even you are having trouble following it, even when this "logic" is "take everything literally with complete disregard to why it's there to begin with", well a kill is a kill, is it not?

But if you wanna have a KDA for player vs. player and a separate KDA for player vs. minions/monsters, argue that. It's still pointless to track, but argue it, cause you seem to like doing that. You just seem mad that you can't turret dive and get executed with no penalty, other than a death timer.

That's not what I'm arguing, I'm arguing K/D/A is there for a reason and that counting executes goes against that reason, just because you have to over-simply everything doesn't mean I do the same.
