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

I've always thought being above 1 was a good K/D, while below 1 was poor. If someone has a 5K and 5D, I'd call it 1 K/D. It seems I'm not alone in this view. Many people refer to it as a "standard score." When you start a match with 0K and 0D, then later reach 5K and 5D, it becomes a standard score. Though it might not be the most accurate for everyone, it's what most people use.
Unless your score is exactly zero kills and zero deaths, you don’t qualify for a KDR of one. Your KDR remains unspecified since dividing any value by zero is not possible.
When you split zero by zero, many possibilities arise. Infinity can play a role, but dividing any other number by zero leads to problems.
Intuition might suggest it's accurate, but mathematical concepts confirm that 0/0 isn't defined for several reasons, including disrupting arithmetic operations.
KDR and positive/negative evaluations differ slightly. Positive means more kills than deaths; negative the opposite. When kills match deaths, it's often called EVEN. KDR reflects average kills per death and closely ties to whether you go positive or not. Many games treat zero kills and zero deaths as a KDR of zero since division by zero isn't possible. A KDR can't exceed one because it requires at least one kill. The reasoning is based on the assumption that the character would eventually die, which aligns with real-life expectations like aging or extended play.
Of course, the outcome remains consistent regardless of the input you choose. No single value unifies it like a ratio such as 15 over 3 does.
Shift your attention from numbers to growth. Concentrate on improving your skills and supporting your squad, even if you face challenges often. What started as a focus on stats turned into a strength when I prioritized learning and teamwork over just the results.
