Understanding K/D Ratio
What is K/D Ratio?
Kill/Death ratio (K/D ratio) is a statistical metric used in competitive gaming to measure a player's performance by comparing the number of kills achieved to the number of deaths incurred.
Interpreting K/D Ratios
1. Basic Interpretation
- K/D > 1.0: More kills than deaths (above average)
- K/D = 1.0: Equal kills and deaths (balanced)
- K/D < 1.0: More deaths than kills (below average)
2. Skill Levels
- 0.0 - 0.5: Beginner
- 0.5 - 1.0: Developing
- 1.0 - 2.0: Proficient
- 2.0+: Expert
Improving Your K/D Ratio

- Practice aim and accuracy
- Learn map layouts and positions
- Develop game awareness
- Use appropriate loadouts and equipment
