What is a good deaths/wins ratio in Skywars?

[maowmaow]

Just wondering what would be considered a "good" deaths/wins ratio, which I guess would be a fair estimate of how good at winning someone is. I'm at 5.8, which I suspect is not bad but not great. I just wanted a feeling for what others are?

As long as your kills are above your deaths you have a good K/D ratio.

Who cares about K/D? I care about wins!

Thats the spirit.

My K/D is low, but i am just blaming that on when i played before i actually got good :D

this is my story...

First time I played skywars in this server i loved it and rocked at it. I was so pro xD. I even got first on both leaderboards :o anyways, it got a little boring so i started doing traps and having fun with unique kits like ancient disruputer. I rekt my k/d ratio trying to do traps and have fun xD but it was worth it ;) now days, i dont care about the k/d ratio, i would even jump off the island if i see a hacker, to get better angles of him hacking so the report can be easier. :D

I care about the way that I kill a player. (A knock out, maybe a tnt trap, tnt cannons, etc.)

@SpritySpritz cookie monster trap or on pirates dig a hole deep enough, then drop a anvil on their heads. when they fall down it. @SGTkuzey

 

[SGTkuzey]

Nah, I'll try something a bit more unique... :)

rip their arms off bite their neck, and eat their soul?

 

[SGTkuzey]

That's the plan for the next week :P Let's just say dispensers. :)

I just thought of a good one, place water and lava and suffocate them in obsidian.

 

[SGTkuzey]

Impressive. Can try I suppose.

 

[ItsYaBoyJavid]

or, you could try to threaten them if they have weak armor and take all their food and starve them to death.

Cool, my favorite trap map is candy though. Good ol map with perfect height :D

This is why K/D isn't so great - kills with TNT, lava or pit traps just don't count, though they are generally the most fun kills :P

Anyway, it's just a number I wish I could compare. Actually I think a good way to score how "good" one is at winning would have been:

Score =

(-1 for every personal death +(no. of starting players) for every win) / total-games-played.

Which would account for preferences in number of players and map size...eh, given what scores *are* tracked though I just wanted to see if I was a good player or not.

(n.b. I was 4.6 on the month, compared to 5.8 overall, so I guess I'm improving?)
