I'm doing better than you look at my KDA

JimmyNtheKudos··61 votes·4,691 views

Tired of hearing that. KDA isn't everything. Did you push towers, did you ward, did you secure neutral objectives, do you have good CS count. Unless, you're outright feeding, I feel that KDA is almost irrelevant if you're actually trying to win the game and not just get kills. This isn't Halo or COD.

Kills are +15 CS and deaths are -20. So basically he has a net -5 CS and the 6/1 had 70 CS.

*lose lose = did not win, aka failed. loose = not firmly in place.

No loose is definitely correct. The only question is... what is he trying to avoid loosing? O_O

Then hes still stupid, if it means what you say it does, then it should be Incorrect: "I only play norms, but I don't play to loose." Correct: "I only play norms, but I don't play too loose."

The way the sentence reads is he only plays normal games, but he doesn't play to lose games. That sounds far more likely than he only plays normal games, but he doesn't play too loosely, and therefore more ridged and strictly.

Stay in school kids!

This brings up another thing. When people say "It's just norms" I get so pissed. I get pissed because I only play norms because the people in ranked are toxic just like the guy that says this. I get that to them, it's "just norms" but to me, it's 45 or sometimes 60 minutes of my time that they are deciding to waste because they're a selfish b-word. Am I the only one?

No.

Someone makes a topic about it probably about once a week.

As a (mostly) jungle main, I see this crap all the time. For some reason people don't know know what objectives are worth, which is surprising because it's one thing that won't come back... mostly. You take out a tower, it's gone until the end of the game. Unless they have that cheating f*** Azir (I'm kidding, so Azir mains: don't get too offended). I thought it was pretty straightforward that towers were a lot more important than kills.

Most people don't realize that kills are only good for securing objectives. All that gold doesn't make a difference if you don't use it to get closer to the enemy nexus and blow it up. I saw this Jayce mid one time that got so fed he could take down our tank in 3 shots, everyone else with just 1. We won that game because his team didn't know what objectives were. And we had like...6 dragons back in ye olden times when he just gave global gold for kills, and we just whittled their towers away while avoiding teamfights. When we did teamfights, we just focused Jayce. Because Jayce didn't help take our towers, we took theirs instead and won the game...

Man I wish I had a replay of that game...

JimmyNtheKudos4 votes

I've played that game a ton of times against a fed enemy, or being the fed one. It can be so difficult to rally your team. Did we just win a team fight? Lets get that mid tower. Jungler goes to clear jungle, ADC goes back to buy, solo laner goes to clear a lane etc...

They also have no grasp of the value of assists. Oh, I'm 2 and 4, such a noob jungler! Oh wait, 19 assists...

DeloricVI7 votes

At some point, This actually happened to me. Only, it was my mid who just got killed in a teamfight. He was all "Sion, you suck, you only have 1 kill! Why aren't you doing anything?" "Because I have 27 assists, and 10 of them were off your kills. Learn what the 'A' means in 'KDA'."

I lyke how in TF2 we got some sort of arbitrary number as our score 3 literally anything you do that's contributes toward victory gets you a point your deaths are not recorded

I wish league tracked it sort of like that, and instead of showing K/D/A, they would just show your compounded KDA score (like 3.5 if you were going 7-2-0 for example) Then they could have actual kill/death/assist count show up in the champion overview tab in game if they felt the need to have that somewhere. that would help people realize that their jungle who is 2-4-15 isn't a feeder, or that their support who is 0-3-23 actually has been having a major impact in game.

Even that's not always a good indicator. I've had a few games where I was playing really badly, but wound up abusing that and using it to my advantage by making myself bait since I knew the enemy would always try to gank me. Sure I ended with a scoreline of, like, 4/12/5 but those deaths wound up constantly leaving the enemy team out of position and never where they needed to be, letting my team take towers, dragons, and Baron with impunity. Proxy Singed used to work the same way back when it was popular - You die a lot but make up for it with superior objective control.

Always made me smile when I'm sitting there, playing like garbage and dying all the time, only to get killed by the enemy support/ADC duo while on the other side of the map the other four people on my team just killed the rest of the enemy team and pushed down two towers before the enemy ADC could even recall.

Thefriendlyorc1 votes

Tf2 is one of those games where you can have so much fun and not give two shits abut kda. Cause as it should in league, the objectives matter.

ForPortal3 votes

"Did you push towers?" "Did you secure neutral objectives?"

Killing enemies prevents them from securing objectives themselves, and makes it easier for everyone else on your team to secure these objectives without getting ganked.

"Did you ward?"

The purpose of warding is to know where the enemy is. Killing the enemy lets you know where the enemy is.

"Do you have good CS count?"

If somebody goes 5/0/5 and they do it on 0 CS, that's better than if they do the same thing on 100 CS. CS is a resource and if you can be a useful member of your team without consuming that resource, that's a good thing, because it means that somebody else can farm in your lane while you get a'killin'.

KDA isn't the only way you can contribute to a game, but it is flat out wrong to think that rendering enemies incapable of pushing, farming or securing objectives is "almost irrelevant".

KDA isn't the only way you can contribute to a game, but it is flat out wrong to think that rendering enemies incapable of pushing, farming or securing objectives is "almost irrelevant".

The problem is when people fail to realize that getting kills without securing advantages and objectives is not very meaningful. In the above situation you described, if someone goes 5/0/5 on 0 CS, that only becomes an advantage if that CS is being taken by someone else without the enemy team responding - If It's running into a tower and dying then it's a disadvantage because the 5/0/5 player has lost out on a huge amount of gold and XP by not being there to take it. If the jungler has to go clean it up, then you've lost vision and objective control because the enemy jungler will see this and start counterjungling and deep-warding. If someone from another lane goes to pick it up, then their lane is vulnerable to pressure when they're not there and they might get ganked in the jungle. And if it's the support that's 5/0/5, then you have a large amount of gold built up on a champion that doesn't really need it - It's generally better to have a 10/0/0 ADC and a 0/0/10 support than a 5/0/5 ADC and a 5/0/5 support.

JimmyNtheKudos5 votes

I think you're missing the point, if you're trying to win the game you're going to get kills. I'm calling out the people who chased the bard halfway accross the map for a kill and then just missed a bunch of waves of CS in lane, missed a chance to secure dragon, missed a chance to push a tower etc. etc. These people will then be something like 12/5 against your 3/2, and say "I'm so fed."

nah the more kills i have the more impact i made that's why i play assassins grr!

JimmyNtheKudos2 votes

Kills can have a big influence in the game and shouldn't be underestimated. Did we kill the jungler, lets get drag. Did we just ACE let's get inhib tower or baron. I'm just stating the fact that many players will judge their success solely based on KDA, which IMO is wrong.

It should not be hard to puzzle out why the guy saying "Let's group for objectives" has his chat unrestricted, and the guy saying "You're STUPID" is restricted.

FantasySniper2 votes

This is the only time I think that the KDA thing can come into play.

Built tank the first half of the match, got fed, shut down Jax, and my team refused to pick their battles and just plain decided to throw by trying to fight Riven.

But otherwise, you've got a point, because people are yelling at the support like "You don't even have any kills, stfu." And the support has hand-held them through every kill they even got.

well you can look at my last alistar game and you can see what i deal with on a regular basis. I helped my team secure 2 bot turrets while got ezreal 5 kills i single handily carried that lane. But top goes 4/7/0,mid 3/9/3 and jungle goes 2/8/8. I went 1/4/9 40 cs(targon) ezreal 5/5/5 155 cs. I might add a fun fact i have never one a game with an ezreal on my team other then my friend that plays ap ezreal. Nidalee took my top lane i was gonna go shen.
