removing k/d scoreboard

my fellow fallen came up with a great idea in this thread:
http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,16078.msg229041.html#msg229041  (how to not ruin cavs reputation)


If it were up to me I'd just remove kills from the scoreboard altogether and have only a website scoreboard of kills/deaths etc, but I know that wouldn't happen because there are too many players who want to flash their e-peen around on servers.


I would like to suggest only counting won and lost rounds,  not k/d ratio.  and putting the won/lost round ratio on display during battle.  this would highly foster team play and lessen e-peen induced dicketry.





k/d ratio could be kept for the duel server,  but won-lost rounds could be accounted for from battle and siege servers.
Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

I would prefer a small tweak to this:

A scoreboard that tracks only the following:
-Rounds won.
-Rounds lost.
-Team Kills.
-Team Killed.


At the very least do this for siege as kills should not matter there.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

If kills don't matter, then why do you care? You can just ignore the scoreboard y'know.

This would do nothing to "lessen e-peen dicketry", it'd only make for more "I've killed more than you have!" "HAVE NOT!!!" "OMFG HAVE TOO I AM SO PRO"

This reminds of kindergarten running competitions where everyone gets a gold* medal, even the ones who were last.

i remember the thread and was all for it. however the complete removal of k/d would be a tweek to it that would for sure help the teamwork aspect.

i know about the thrill of stacking kills,  and i do like having high k/d ratio´s.  also,  the street credit and legend-status and most important personal knowledge of ones success would obviously be harder to achieve without this,  so i do understand the drawbacks. however i decided for myself that the gaming experience would greatly improve if people would start working together more.  this also goes hand in hand with a lot of other discussions,  like the suggestion balancing classes in a way to foster their abilities that work in a team and nerf there lone-wolf abilities

you are right,  this kindergarten crap can happen.  and  i obviously dont care enough about k/d,  otherwise i wouldnt make this thread. 

however i am hoping it to foster teamplay.  of course i dont know if it would actually help.

Yes, having wins vrs losses is much more beneficial. Also maybe include an overall team k/d instead of individual.
