I mean, it’s totally possible to die and get better. A cousin of mine had a nasty car crash a few years ago. Died twice. He’s fine now. Granted, I don’t think he’s killed anybody so the point is moot for him, but people absolutely can have defined K/D ratios.

If you get revived, that doesn’t count as death

That would exclude all video games then. 🤨

That’s respawn.

False. In bf4 (and probably most of the battlefield games) if a doc revives you in combat your dead count goes down by one.

What do you mean exactly? Many videogames have a functionality where you are down and bleeding out or something for some time, in which you can be revived (not counting as death). After that, you have to respawn (counting as death). And real people can’t be respawned, but revived, so the original take still stands.

Not according to doctors.

5/0 would make a KD ratio of 5.

Well, no, I don’t think so. 5/0 would make a ratio of 5:0, which is undefined.

From a mathematical perspective that makes sense. However a KD ratio is how many kills per life. So if it was 5 kills to 1 death, won’t the KD be 2.5 because each life has equivalent of 2.5 kills

KD ratio is defined as kills per death not kills per life…

Easy, yes we do. In fact you are pretty sure you are only going to die once( unless something happens).

So the kill/death ratio is alway (or almost always) the same as the kill number.
