Death + 1 is the number of times you spawn. Each time you spawn you sort of start a new session. So KDA with D + 1 is the number of kills you get each session. But I guess it's not too important. At the end of the day the difference is probably very marginal. I am more interested in weighting kills and assists for each champion. | ||

KDA has its flaws. But I want to squeeze as much information as possible from it. | ||

At this point the main disadvantage of D+1 is that the current convention is so ingrained into how people read KDA through other games that it would be awkward to make the transition. (xK+yA)/(D+1) is a better statistic, but KDA in and of itself isn't a useful enough metric of anything valuable for people to invest significant effort into changing how they view it--it's more or less just an e-peen statistic.

See, when most people read KDA, the information they are trying to express by citing it is pretty much binary. It's either: 1) I am good at this game 2) You are bad at this game The situations where someone's actually trying to use the statistic for anything more complicated than that (let alone something actually meaningful for discussing the game) are pretty rare. If you wanted to make a statistic that incorporates kill/assist/death counts into some measure of someone's contribution to the game, you would probably deliberately NOT choose to call it KDA, because that would serve your end better than having people misconstrue it's purpose. If you want your statistic to be used to express meaningful information, then you want to distance yourself from a term that people use for a statistic that is generally used to express meaningless information. | ||

Including more data (gold, etc.) will make things better and more informative. But I want to try something simple first. No guarantees whatsoever that anything interesting will come out, of course. | ||

We have that already and it's honestly the only useful metric its called winrate | ||

I remember there was the spending quotient metric in sc2 that was pretty useful | ||

Kill-assist to spawn ratio isn't nearly as catchy | ||

I don't see why it would be a thing. With the rapid casting of her combo it's kinda pointless outside of 1 attack and at that point I feel like you might aswell for Lich Bane if you just HAVE to get a Sheen item. | ||
