    It feels sort of meaningless without visibility into the stat.

      Did you do your best? have fun? that should be all that matters xD.

      Success can't be determined from W/L, since a bad team feeding can make you lose even if you have a game of the ages, personally. and K/D/A doesn't really gauge it either when there are many characters/roles that that contribute without rising these stats. Just do what you can, do what the character you have does. Win, lose, or Draw, you did what you were meant to do.

      Starting this game not too long ago, i felt a little feary of what if my losses outweigh my wins? I'd feel like a total wanker coming into the community, and feel like A scrub or a dork if bad looking stas. but after experiencing the horrors of; Secondary Abandonment, Pausers, Enemy Feeders, uncoordinated teammates, and Sniper players, I learned sometimes a win/loss is simply out of your control. Im still new, and will prolly only do adequate at best on the scoreboard for a while (since they don't follow my awesome pushes into enemy bases). but i feel a little better now with a win rate in the 40s, and my K/D not being so good (get plenty of Assists though xD).

      I hate losing to BS terms like cheap players, smurfs, and because my team left. but so long as i feel i did my best at what i was doing, and it was in fact a contribution, Im ok with that for now. Like in TF2 i will get better to the point I can carry a team. and hopefully get the community to recognize.
