Playing "Neutral" in shooters means adopting a balanced stance, neither favoring offense nor defense.

Regardless of the method, the outcome stays positive, even when working with negative values. Neutral occurs when the result stays exactly in the middle.
I know, I edited my original post. To all intents and purposes, your K/D is zero because there is no difference (zero difference) between your kills and your deaths. You have died one time for each of your kills, and you have killed one time for each of your deaths. It goes both ways. Read my edit. I know 5/5 doesn't actually = 0 lol
Your KDR calculation uses division, but your approach to determining direction relies on subtraction. When deaths exceed kills, you're negative; when they match, it's neutral. That’s a surprising twist!
ratios matter less in some shooters like Overwatch; they're more about overall impact than individual stats. A high kill count with fewer losses can be more valuable than a balanced ratio with many small kills. If you score five kills and lose five, it's similar to a neutral point—just like a +5 and -5 balance. Using the order of operations, you start with zero, add the kills, then subtract the deaths.
