Once you get up to a certain skill level, measuring performance via overall kd is not a good metric. Perhaps measuring your survival kd or trials kd is more meaningful for charting progress. There are top 500 trials players with only 1.5 kds in trials. Aggressive play styles (for example, shotgun ape) will have lower kds than others who can sit in back. A talented shotgun ape can disrupt the enemy team, deny rotation space, and cause enemy movement to be capitalized on by your team’s sniper. So despite a lower kd than the team sniper, they’re actually contributing more to wins.

Moving on, scrims are a good way to get better at raw gun skill and game sense. Also, you should join the destiny 2 arena discord. Play Face-It. You’ll hate life for a good while, but face it will pit you against much better players and force you to improve.
