What is a good game in your opinion? :: newbiemj's Blog

+Rep | Report

I am curious on what constitutes a good game for everyone? Do you just care about the win? Or your K:D:A? Or your damage (structure or player)? Does it vary depending on your god role?

Ultimately, like most people I am assuming, I care just about the win, but it never feels good playing absolutely terrible and still winning. When I am on the losing side though, that is when I start looking at other things like player or structure damage. Or if I was support role, how much damage I took and mitigated.

I am guessing that some people just care about their K:D:A which brings me to my next question. What do you think is a good K:D ratio? 1:1? 2:1? What would be an average K:D match for people?
Obviously, it would vary on God role, Support should have least amount of kills compared to other roles, I would say at least a 1:1 ratio would be average.. a good game depending maybe 2:1 and an excellent game 3:1 or so.

Just curious on what everyone thinks

Stats only go so far. For me a good game is one where I know I played well.
If I was against a really good team and I was on a bad team, but I played my heart out, even if my stats are lackluster I'll still enjoy the game because I know I played my best.

On the other hand, if my team is dominating the other team and I have really good stats but played fairly mediocre, I won't enjoy that game as much. This is partly why I don't like playing characters that are really 'meta' ie: considered really good at the current time. I get more satisfaction attributing my successes to my player skill than to the character I chose who's really strong in the current meta.

All that aside, if I'm playing with friends every game's a good game :)

Oh and to answer your question somewhat, newb, lemme see.

KDA is nice to look at when it's got good numbers, but I've never been a player that can carry like some others.

Depends on game mode to a degree, but here:

In Conquest, if I'm a tanky god like a Support, I want to see that I've taken a lot of damage and mitigated a lot more. I almost never see where those numbers are higher than the Solo-laner, but if I'm not feeding, like 1-10-20, then the KDA doesn't really matter so much. And of course if I'm a god like Khepri, I'll know if I've ulted and saved people multiple times, which is important.
If throughout the match I've been a disrupting factor, made some plays that got teammates to safety or whatnot, it always makes me feel better.
If I'm a hunter, I definitely want to see my damage up there. I want to see high damage output, and I want to have more kills than deaths...deaths are more important in many ways here...lower deaths while still having good damage means I wasn't playing too conservatively. Kills are just last hits, like Ferrum said...so it's not all that important to me.
If I'm a damaging player, structure damage is a nice stat, but you should generally know if you were doing well at taking down structures.
Always nice to hear my friends say I had a good play. Compliments rock.

With my friends on curse i care if we have any fun. Thats always a win in my books.

If we have actual good teamwork, coordination, and followup on CC ,and we tried our ***ES off, win or loss thats a win for me.

Every game is a casual one for me, but that doesn't stop me from trying.

That said, any of the following might be considered positives:

I'm not the first death in the match (this happens somewhat often, it seems)
In Conquest, teammates aren't blaming me as Support
As Bacchus, I'm in the top 25% of both teammate and enemy damage, while also being high on the damage taken/mitigated lists
I'm obviously not the worst player in the match or don't pull a gaffe that loses us the match like when GGF Taco and I were playing Joust and we were struggling the entire game but finally had a chance to end it at their titan where a GGF Kukulkan ult on the titan would have finished him but instead he went for a kill on an enemy I was distracting so he could have a clear shot but he even missed the enemy and the titan and enemies killed us and went back and finished our titan all the while Taco is going "GGF whyyyyyyyyyy didn't you ult the titan GGF whyyyyyyyyyyy" and it was a freaking 41 minute Joust match which is insane so at least win the match so we didn't just blow up 2/3 of an hour of our lives and yes this is the worst run on sentence Tech but I don't care screw you back to you GGF we're playing tonight and you'd better not do that again because it hurt my stomach I was laughing so hard

For me it depends if its casual or competitive.

Casuals
I want the game to be close and to **** some people up as a tank. Sunder is usually a plus.

Competitive
Was the game close, did we win lane, did I control the map, and did I learn anything

I try not to look at K/D too much; kills are awarded to the players that land the killing hit, after all.

That being said, the games i enjoy the most are the games where there's not much separating the two teams, ending up in a balanced competition. So no curbstomps or steamrolls. Even if there is, i'd still consider it a good game if the losing team is able to find momentum and mount a significant counter attack. Win or lose, as long as our team or the enemy team fought well for it, it's a good game.

I consider a good game to be one where I either have more kills than deaths or twice as many assists as deaths. Unless it's Conquest. Then I need to go positive and win lane.
