KDA metric is broken in General Discussion

    I believe this metric is broken. My average kills,deaths, assists per game is showing as the following:

    8.66 kills
    6.33 deaths
    10.97 assists

    But my KDA is showing as ~5.2

    (8.66+10.97)/6.33 = 3.10

    So clearly something is wrong here.

      For which hero?

        can u link me to the place you got your 5.2 KDA from?

        L > BLACK MAGE PARTY

          the numbers you wrote were overall from all your games, I don't think they have an overall kda stat for all heroes combined, maybe the 5.2 kda is for a specific hero?

          TripleSteal-

            It will be easier to explain with an example
            you got two games with following KDAs:
            Game 1: 5/1/0 (KDA ratio = 5)
            Game 2: 10/20/10 (KDA ratio = 1)

            Average KDA ratio = (5+1)/2 = 3
            However, you got:
            average kills 7.5
            average deaths 10.5
            average assists 5
            (7.5+5)/10.5 = 25/21 ~ 1.2

            Average KDA and KDA based on the average amount of kills, deaths and assists you have are not the same.

                  Ohh I see, so it's literally the average KDA. I assumed (wrongly) that it just took your total kills, deaths, assists and did the KDA off of that. Makes sense +1
