What is an expected KDR for someone playing at their respective range?
I have the following KDR after 10 + games on a certain hero
Sombra 3.5
Dva 5.7
Hog 3.2
Junkrat 2.8
I understand Dva will always be skewed cause you have to kill her twice effectively.

Go there. Eliminations tab. And they will have an average kd ratio. You can even sort it by level.
So for example the averages for plat
Sombra: 3.0
Dva: 4.4
Hog: 3.1
Junk: 2.4
Then you can check other stats too. Say, to check that you are still getting a decent total elims number and not playing too passive.
KDR doesn’t really matter much in OW really
Well not as much. It’s still important to die less in some scenarios (like on defence, as a healer, with ultimate). But yeah generally k/d is skewed by a lot of factors and not super important.
For OP though honestly as long as you’re not less than 2 you’re not doing awfully :L
it really does, there’s no coincidence that top level players have high k/d, the less time spent respawning is more time to be effective in some way.
death i believe is a important stat for every hero since no doubt its one of the big stats that effects performance sr.(kill stat on the other hand is mainly important for damage heroes and off tanks/healers)
That is an example of correlation not equal to causation. Yes their k/d ratio is high, that doesn’t mean it is the reason they are good. It is not the metric that determines whether a player is doing good or not.
I could have the same k/d ratio as them, doesn’t mean I am doing just as good as they are.
Mine range from 3.2-4.0.
In this game, final blows-to-death ratio would be a more accurate indication of performance, considering one point of damage contributing to a death counts as an elim.
Some friends and I were just talking about this. Normally, we take our current kdr and subtract one. This takes out multiple kills where you do just one dmg and big ults. If the kdr is still above two you’re doing good.
We don’t invite dps mains with less than 2 kdr to the group.
Yea but how often do you actually do 1 point of damage on a kill? Being able to focus targets with your team also is an indication of your abilities. I wouldn’t say that stat is inflated.
Let’s not call it one dmg then. Call it trash or wasted dmg. Either way subtract the one kdr for better accuracy of your kdr
I will say this. Whenever I have 2 deaths or less per round in a KOTH my win rate is well over 50 percent.
Survival is critically important on KOTH games.
I feel like that’s just more about showing off how lopsided matchmaking can be.
In a roughly even match, cumulative K/D across the team should be close to about 1 to 1, which suggests that both teams have roughly the same amount of killing power. If the K/D ratio in the match is way off, that means the matchmaker pitted a strong team against a weak one.
For what I have seen if you are playing at your “correct sr” you should be about 2.5-3 KDR roughly. Granted there is some margin for error.
If you are 1.5 to 1.8 KDR you simply cannot say that you are under ranked. Now sometimes you have more deaths than kills and sometimes you might go say 30-3 in a game and win pretty easily. Neither suggest that you are misplaced cause outliers will occur. Hell I have gone 58-1 on dva before and still lost (a once in a lifetime fluke obviously)
There does seem to be a correlation of win rate with KDR as long as you are playing the objective. If you go say 5-1 KDR in a game your win rate will be above 50 percent and if you go say 30-15 which is 2-1 your win rate will probably be below 50 percent unless you are getting carried.
Some games are full on blood baths where no one has a good KDR it can happen in a perpetual overtime on KOTH games especially oasis.
There is no rule of thumb but there is no question that survival is the most important skill in this game and so many more people would have less issues being stuck in sub 2000 SR if they simply learned when a push was dead and to stop feeding.
Your system makes no sense. I have over 4 k/d ratio on soldier. You are arbitrarily making the assumption that for every 4 people I kill, I only did 1 point of damage to one of them so it doesn’t count?
Why? How is that reasonable in your mind?
Entaro,
That’s a good kdr. Please read both of my posts
My friends and I wanted a system to help weed out high kill ults and dmg that didn’t necessarily result in a fight winning kill. By subtracting 1 from the kdr it helped us get a good idea of how a dps player does in a straight up team fight.
This works for us, your mileage may vary.
Ps. After the equation if a dps has 2 kdr or more we consider them good. For example, my reaper has 3.7 kdr minus one is 2.7.
Thanks for the reply!
in theory yes, but certain heroes like mercy aren’t designed for kills so their k/d will more than likely be very low.

of course with mercy it dont apply. You go with assists to death ratio at that point although I am not sure if there are assists on your career profile.
