I'm doing better than you look at my KDA

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.

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...

"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".

I get tired of people with the KDA mentality.

Windfallen3/26/2015, 11:01:24 PM3 votes

That feeling when you're trying to gank for someone to get them ahead, but the laner dies and you get the kill. Everytime.

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.

Even funnier when this is coming from the 0/0/0, who's mad that the team is doing poorly while they afk freeze a side lane.

HeroSaitama3/27/2015, 8:39:57 AM2 votes

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.

Rito needs to implement a kdao. Kills, death, assists, objectives.

To an extent. I would be willing to guess the 1/15/2 mid laner didn't exactly contribute much else to the game.

Recently I played Thresh. I did pretty poorly, missed almost every hook, and I could not help my team at all. Still I somehow had 3/0/10 and ended up with 3/2/12. I still do not know how could that happned
