Two metrics people routinely confuse

Works out the kill-death ratio, the KDA that includes assists, and how many kills a target ratio would take.

K/D is simply kills divided by deaths. KDA adds assists to the numerator and is therefore always higher: in team games where damage matters more than the last shot, KDA describes a contribution more honestly.

Kills and deaths per match are worth reading separately. A player at 1.2 K/D with ten kills a map and a player at the same ratio with thirty are playing different roles entirely, however identical the ratio looks.

How many kills without dying a target K/D would take

What to keep in mind

Assists count only towards KDA; by definition they play no part in K/D.
The 'to target' figure assumes you never die again — it is an upper bound, not a plan.

FAQs

What counts as a good K/D?

One means an even trade. Anything above 1.2 in team shooters is clearly above average, and 2.0 or more is rare and usually means someone playing well above their rank.

How does KDA differ from K/D?

KDA counts assists: kills plus assists over deaths. In games where a teammate often lands the finishing blow, it describes a contribution more accurately.

Why does K/D move so slowly?

Because the denominator is already large. At a thousand deaths, each new kill adds a thousandth to the ratio, and the record becomes inert.

Is chasing K/D worth it?

In competitive modes the team wins, not the ratio. A player who trades to win the round is worth more than one protecting their statistics.

Worked example

A hundred matches of record

Input: 1,200 kills, 1,000 deaths, 400 assists, target 1.5

Output: K/D 1.2 and KDA 1.6, needing 300 kills to reach the target

Note: Three hundred kills without a single death shows plainly why lifting a K/D on accumulated statistics is close to impossible. Starting a new account is easier than fixing an old one.
