Edit: Combat rating is holding pretty steady as the clear winner of this poll.
I've tried to argue with people that skill is determined by more than KD alone, and that if you're going to judge by KD then they should go by recent kd, instead of overall.
I've argued that win % and combat rating are better indicators, but that didn't seem to go over well either.
Some people say that trials and rumble kd are much better indicators, and they might be for that particular situation, but again I don't think it shows overall skill.
What do guys think? My personal opinion is that these numbers show nothing when taken individually and it's better to look at the big picture.
Edit: alot of people are asking what combat rating is, here is my understanding; Combat rating starts at a base value of 100 for everyone, if you play 'within expectations' it doesn't change much, but if you do better or worse than those expectations it will change alot.
I think it takes the teams average combat rating, and which ever is higher is expected to win. I don't know if it accounts for individual kill/death in the same manner or not.
If a team has a much higher rating than yours and you lose, you don't lose much, but if you win you gain alot. The opposite is also true, if your team is much higher and you win you don't gain much, but if you lose than your rating is dropped alot.
I don't know how much more goes into it, someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.

Skill. That's the best way.

There are different opinions due to different answers. CBR across all game modes probably indicates your playstyle is what the development team want. Kd in any mode can be inaccurate due to crossfire and lag. In the old days it was the high score table that counted. DT provides an average game score but different game modes offer different structures. Fun is the winner, yet again different players find fun in different ways. Most will usually find fun in self improvement in games. I have 1 friend that in battlefield didn't care about his kd, he just enjoyed blowing up tanks. For me, I have no interest in society so I don't care what others say. I find fun in a team, that doesn't mean tactics have to be used. Just have a laugh ;)

Where do you see combat rating? Help me out
-
What about crucible accuracy... I think that's kinda important.

No land beyond precision kill ratio
-
Tha heck is combat rating
-
I have a 300+ combat rating in trials. Ask me anything.

W/L is a poor indicator for solo players or people who main rumble
-
As a solo player, K/D. As a team, W/L.
-
So if someone is on a good team, the one guy who guards and camps around B barely gets kills because his teammates are wreaking is going to have a low combat rating and score in a game. It has to be kdr since they can hold there own.
-
What exactly is the combat rating? I see the number, but how does the system come up with the number? Can anyone explain?
-
What even is combat rating?
-
Willingness to cooperate
-
Weapons they use compared to k.d.
-
If we are going off recent kd my hunter is at 2.8 :) hello everybody Mr. inconsistent here.
-
Nothing to do with kd what so ever
-
I'm still waiting for a guy to clearly explain theirselfs as to why it isn't k.d, because it is.

-
KaDR for any slayer game mode. And average score per min for any objective game mode.
-
I feel that Combat Rating is important.

Dick size

Suicides. The more the better.

Can they use a Handcannon effectively in their current state. True skill.
-
If they have a variety of games they play, look at the variety. Tells you more about a person than any numbers ever could.

How much pussy you get would be one
