Fucking world of tanks. The biggest fattest heavy tanks that have shit accuracy but high damage potential sometimes will sit at the base sniping while the weak ass under gunned mediums and lights do 3x more damage. Then after everyone else is dead the heavies gets surrounded and blame the team
>>334988987
If you're randomly joining pubs for a short time or not gaming the system then no, it won't be 50/50.
There are a few reasons, the most obvious is that people leave when they lose a lot. If teams are unbalanced people on the bad team will leave because they're angry and people on the good team will stay because they're happy. When you join a game you join the team with less players, so you're more likely to join the bad team.
Then if you don't switch or leave when you realise that you're on the bad team, i.e. you don't game the system, you'll go on a bad run and see skewed stats like the guy you're replying to.
You also find some teams have half a dozen or more clan members in, when that happens the team with the clan is almost guaranteed to win. Not because the clan is good or anything, they can be the shittest clan, but they're talking to each other, communicating attacks, covering blind spots, resupplying each other. If you're literally the best player in the world against 5 below average clan members, you're going to die. So when you have half a dozen clan members on a point, all covering different spots so you can't sneak up on any one of them you can't break down that group unless you bring your own group, which on a pub just never happens. Again, see the good/bad team thing, so when you join a game you're more likely to join the team without the clan, unless you switch.
Then there's the possibility that the guy you're replying to is so bad he literally causes his team to lose 75% of the time.
>>334988980
you are supposed to do both.
you fuck around because you are good.
it's a lot like driving a car. you just do it without paying attention but once you wake up and realize you are steering the wheel you start to panic.

>want to play objective well too

BF4 is a pretty good game, especially after the tickrate update
>tfw I have the shitty K/D in the game

>>334990004
>doing a few strafing runs over a point is "playing the objective"
I bet you're the guy who stays in the spawn screen waiting for the jet
>>334989896
That's actually pretty accurate. Whenever my dad would yell at me when he was teaching me, I'd fuck up even harder than I already did. I'm better at things when not concentrating too hard at them.
>objective based game
>people care about their KD
>play a support role, push objectives
>end up with shit KD but top score
WHY THE FUCKING FUCK CANT PEOPLE JUST DO THE OBJECTIVES JESUS CHRIST YOUR KD DOESNT MATTER IF YOU LOSE
KDR tracking needs to die. Keep accuracy, headshot percentage and average range of kill and shit like that but remove KDR
>>334990219
what if its free for all or team deathmatch
>>334990263
No, I am terrible at jets. If I'm on the defensive it's ACR + SRAW, and offensive is L85. I'll take an LAV or Tank to push objectives though.
>>334990417
>playing either of those modes
>>334990515
How do you use a tank without getting blown up 3 seconds later? I must know your secrets demon.
>>334990697
I use zoom + canister to weed out guys sticking out guys from a distance, then push with active protection if I have one or two guys on the ground with me, that's usually enough. I do die a lot though.
>>334990219
>You're not supposed to be playing for kills, you're playing for the W
>not going for both
The enemy can't take the objective if they're dead.
>having negative K/D
>ever
I can't think of a single time this has happened in pubs for me. Quake / TF2 / CSGO / CoD / Battlefield.
>>334990412
>tfw playing support, top scoreboard and have great k/d because you weren't a pussy and pushed the objective so hard that the other team can't keep up with you
>>334991276
Unless you can kill the guy's entire squad, any kind of insertion or spawn beacon and take the point before that guy respawns, your kill was useless.

What people usually mean by 'negative' is that you have less deaths than kills. Just get with the program grandpa.
my dad
>play while drunk
>30-4
>play sober
>4-10
Clearly the solution is to be drunk all the time.
>>334992474
So they mean log(k/d) is negative.

>>334992740
That's the solution to life in general.
>>334992758
>log(k/d)
Check out the big brain on Brett. The non-autistic way of expressing this is that they mean k-d is negative.

They mean fewer kills, not fewer deaths you fool.

Damn, you're right. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive a poor anon who made a typo on an american anime image posting board.
>>334992313
>>334992313
negative is when you have more deaths than kills, people say theyre positive when they have more kills than deaths
my k/d is trash but my w/l ratio is great on most games
>>334992474
A negative k/d would be more deaths than kills. Maybe you should try getting with the program.
>>334987049
Average game players are sheep. Devs need to get it in their skull to constantly reward objective play.
Shit like Overwatch's play of the game is the exact opposite, since it encourages nothing but kill whoring.
Capping control points in RO is more important than anything else and you usually only have <5 people per team working on it cause the other fags are hiding behind a wall 200 meters away.
>>334987049
Mother fucking tf2
Dominations also do this too.
>>334988980
>>334992740
All of that, "Find your flow, stay positive, don't let the bad stuff bring you down!" talk isn't bullshit. Stress, anxiety, inhibitions, etc. are all distractions that prevent you from looking at something without bias and prevent you from focusing on what's happening clearly. You can't judge a situation correctly when you're brain is busy thinking about something else. People are shit at multitasking.

What could persuade players to not be little bitches though? Plenty of games give XP for completing objectives but that's not enough. It helps a little bit, but usually the boosts are so small that people would rather stroke their e-peen by sniping 10 dozen players from halfway across the map.
Hell I just played a multiplayer game where the only reason we won was because the other side refused to push with at least 3 of their players trying to do l33t 3pik headshots.

I always thought they should go all out and give teams a live video feed of each other after the match ends.
The amount of glorious shit talking in that game was unmatched. Multiplayer was practically built around being able to push the shit in of those you beat.
>>334993348

Every game is objectively improved if you remove in-match KDR tracking.
People don't get all retardedly OCD about their K/D, they just play the goddamn game.

Dad pls
>>334993801
Give a nice a dose of dopamine when they take an objective. something akin to borderlands 2 level up graphic along with a nice ding.
But i can imagine it actually pissing some people off if the developer's play off like getting a kill is nothing. so maybe not rewardong other things ( assists, heals, shield, etc.) can give the impression that it's solely about the objective.
>Do almost no damage
>In a vehicle vastly inferior to everyone else
>Get MVP
No better feelingscouts are best
>>334993810
You can push your precious KD all you want, just stand on the fucking point while you do it.
The amount of times I've seen a scout dance around outside the point by inches rather than getting up in a demo's face, causing us to lose the entire game in tf2 is ridiculous.
In games like BF if you have more people on the point than the enemy, you cap. Once you get the point down to even neutral, they can't respawn on it. If you stood on the fucking point you would have to kill less people to take it, and you would stop losing tickets quicker.
I bet you play sniper.

>>334993478
but no one sees your k/d in TF2 other than you, just points which you get from kills and objectives, who is the best way to track stats
>>334993891
>clan stomps your team so hard that everyone but you quits
>end up winning since the shitters aren't feeding them kills anymore
>>335000056
There's dominations, which are worse because they're in your face.
And even private stats (per game or lifetime, TF2 does actually keep the latter) will still bug people.
>>335000056
The problem is that (You) will still see your k/d. You can't ever let players know how bad they're fucking up because they'll get autistic about it and that's how you end up with teams of 7 snipers. Just have a general score that acts as a pat on the head for completing objectives and helping your team.
