Reasons KD doesn't matter:
1. Bad days... everyone has them. Some more than others.
2. If my friends want to play and they suck, I won't stop them. Please, go ahead and drop my KD by 2 points.
3. Crap-design quests (shindig in the crucible. Inb4 all the year 1 scrubs who grinded TLW in Y1 say "that quest literally took me 3 games hahaha!" No one cares, that gun is crap and the quest is shit).
4. not using OP weapons and/or subclasses (AKA- "crucible easy mode"- sunbreaker, pulse rifle, shotgun, prox. detonate rocket)
5. People who take some time to get used to PVP or coming back from a break, the first few games come out below 0.5 and that kills it for them.
Comment your own, I'll edit them in the post if i like them :D
P.S.
The thing that, in my opinion, defines a good player is SPM (Score Per Minute), and in a way grim score.

A big reason? For me, I will never leave a game, no matter what. If it's down to me against 6 other players, I will stay in. I feel like I learn more from those situations than any other. Team sucks, I stay in. Everybody leaves, I stay in. I'm getting totally freaking rekt, I stay in. I've seen guys that I started trashing in a game just drop out. I'm like, what the heck? I go to their profile, check their K/D, what do you know? Their K/D is 1.5, 1.8, 2.2 etc. Ah, I see, he's one of those "K/D matters" fellers. Those poor, poor misguided souls. Oh well, let them bask in the light of their pseudo-elitism. Let's see them go into every game solo as a random, without a team, only them and whoever matchmaking gives them, never drop out of any game ever for any reason, and still maintain those K/Ds. I'm sure there are some who could. But, I'm also sure that a pretty healthy portion of them would have K/Ds down below 1.0. I don't give a crap about my K/D. That's not to say that I don't always try my best, because I do. But, if my best just so happens to not be good enough that game, I stick it out and keep on, keeping on.
