He was destroying our team. Never missing always knowing where we were. But when I went to check his ratio. It said it was negative. I kept thinking that can’t be right.
Is it possible that the hacker was able to mess with his ratio? At first I didn’t think it was, but is there any chance this is possible?
ei8htx, lol, I’m not sure if your joking or if you just don’t know but going negative on a KDR means that you are below 1.0 (which is kills and deaths balanced.)
Using negative in this slang way in no way means actually going into the -1’s.
Is a lack of math skills a joke? If the slang is “going negative” then it was coined by a moron. Your score would be a potentially negative number, subtracting deaths from kills.
By it’s very wording, KDR, Kill Death Ratio, means one’s kills divided by deaths. It’s a fraction, that’s what “ratio” means.
Sorry if I’m being uptight, but as someone who’s studied a little bit of math, it’s this kinda crap that causes me to lose faith in humanity, the voters, and public schools.
I agree with ei8thx. Negative ratio = Impossibility. It would be impossible even with 0 kills and “x” number of deaths. It would be lowest at 0. Ratio can go below 1, but never a negative.
They use the slang implying that they are getting more deaths than kills therefore they are subtracting rather than adding to their total ratio. Hence the term “going negative”
I have done some math myself and I understand completely what your saying, but just because players on fps games coin it “going negative” doesn’t mean that society is going to shit, they are just to lazy to say “man I’m getting way more deaths than kills” they would rather say “man I’m going negative.”
