I'll have to admit that it's quite easy to get 1950+ rating without winning. The stats can be very misleading even at that level. I think a higher k/d ratio is a sign of an overall better player, but as Chanjy said, that isn't the point of the game.

I would argue the point is enjoying yourself.
When i'm playing, ending the game with 1-2 kills isn't that enjoyable anymore.
If I'm in game, have 7-8+ kills... thats when my hands start shaking - if I can win with that many kills, thats when I feel i've played well.
They used to shake just getting top10, but thats long gone now.
I think as you become more experienced, the game goes from enjoying simple wins, to enjoying kills, while making it to the end-game... and if you're good enough, to win with a high amount of kills. That's where the difficulty comes in.
IMO, you should be aiming for a win with 5-10 kills a game. If you can't, you're probably just an average or slightly above average player. You should always be aiming to better yourself.

It's a bit like me saying... well Man Utd were clearly the best football team in the country last year because clean sheets are what really take skill in my opinion and they got more of those than City last season so they are the best.
If you win with 10 kills clearly that's better than winning with 1 kill, but coming 2nd with 10 kills is still a loss.
If doing what you were saying was so easy wouldn't everyone be able to do it?
Well when I get a load of kills but don't win, I hate that and don't enjoy it

Just this!
I mainly play in a duo with my friend and we try different things, like just hide in bushes or win with the crossbow. Other games we go for kills and play aggressive and other games we hide until last 10 then sneaky sneaky to try win. Aslong as we have a laugh that’s all that matters.
Can we stop bringing shroud into this every time please
Also... how was the first date ladies?
painless....i didn't go for full penetration straight away.....i'll leave that for another night!
lol......stats ain't my thing. running and gunning is. i got more joy out of shooting that dude out of his uaz than finishing second!we had a laugh one serious game got unlucky 2nd. not bad . i think kwango could possibly with our help be a 1900+ player
and we have a winner. everyone should just play as they like. styles change, moods change. no one way to play is correct. hell it's not that long ago dg was almost mocking of the wave runners who play this game and now it's his go to style of play
play the way that makes you happy ladies!
Comparing United with clean sheets to killing players in a battle royale game, apples and oranges.
For me personally, hiding in a bathroom or snaking on the edge of the circle for 25 minutes while avoiding all confrontation until the final 1v1, requires patience not skill. It's dull, mundane and not engaging in the slightest. However, knowing what angles to use, when to use utility, when to rotate or flank, controlling recoil/knowing patterns, crosshair placement and generally just out playing opponents due to gamesense etc - requires far more skill. It's not a hard concept to grasp, that's just my opinion.
In the same vain I would be happier finishing second with 20 kills, than finishing 1st with 2 kills.
worst analogy ever - you been smoking what dg smokes!
very true but you'll have had a **** load more fun getting that 2nd place with 10 kills than the win with 1. as i keep saying each to their own but i cannot think of anything more boring than bush wookieing it out to get a win with 1 or 2 kills.

Personally, I'd rather get 5-10 kills, come 90th than win with 1 or 2 kills. Again, horses for courses, some people may not enjoy playing first person SHOOTERS to shoot people and prefer getting their chicken nuggets instead, to each their own. I do personally however think, that K/D stats are usually the sign of how good someone is at this game in terms of skill, as to me, the skill part is the killing, from the actual taking of the shots to positioning yourself to wipe the enemy out.
I'll use a friend of a friend as an example (played with him a few times, but he's a nobber tbh). He has constantly had a significantly high rating from the beginning of the game going post early access, always well inside the top 1% on duo's and squads... but he has a K/D average of 0.13! Whenever I've had the misfortune of playing with him, he plays like it's a solo game and he's in the Alien ship being chased, so whenever there's fight happening and team mates are being shot and downed, he's at best 100 yards away hiding in a building with a scoped up weapon waiting for someone to run into his crosshairs. Even then, 9 times out of 10 he fluffs it, so even though he has a few chicken soups to his name, generally he's collecting a load of gear to give to someone else near the final circle. Unless he see's them first and can luck out with a 1 or 2 tap in a straight up fire fight he'll get tooled pretty much every time, yet he's played this way for well over 1000 hours. That's obviously his idea of fun... he's dead wrong. It's lame and he should be loaded into a rocket ship and fired directly into the sun. IMO of course.
Would love to see stats removed altogether and just used in the background for matchmaking...would remove all the e-peen waving.
Couldn't give a damn what my stats are, just play for kills...if that leads to a win then great, if not, no biggie.

Well this thread would probably be half the size

Still devastated about finishing 2nd in Sanhok solo last night. Didn't stop running and gunning the entire game with Vector + few ranged Kar98 kills. Vector is king though. Final 3 the other 2 guys ganged up on me, got 1 of them but the last guy had circle and just waited behind a rock. Must have threw 5 nades at him and missed but he got me when i had to rush him. I royally suck at nade throwing! Finished with 15 kills though, my highest ever. Won duo immediately after which eased my sadness though.
Well whatever, I only used that because City also scored the most goals last year and won the leagueworst analogy ever - you been smoking what dg smokes!
But that doesn't happen every year either.
Well it's a BR game, the whole point of BR is to be the one alive at the end.
If all you want is to get lots of kills a round, wouldn't it make more sense to play another game where dying isn't such a big deal?

I don't care if I die tbh, I enjoy the game movement and shooting mechanics on this. It's only a couple of minutes between death and dropping on a new game, I'm fine with that.

I think you're missing the point. Surviving/winning the game, for me, isn't challenging. The challenge is killing players and finishing the game. The latter is also more fun than hiding in a bathroom for 30 minutes.
If the choice between looting for 15 minutes to get decent gear, or looting for 5 minutes and killing other players for loot, I'll always do the latter.
But like I said, that's just my preference

Not really because the permadeath mechanic raises the stakes. That's why I don't play and never will play war mode on PUBG, if I want a balls out shooter with instant respawn, i'll play a game designed for it.
