K/d works very well for other games, where the only thing you do is killing. This game is about what you do for team, and just like what the OP says, score is representitive for how good you are at this game. K/d isn't necessarily important in PS2, not at all. Score is.

And that a lot of other games use it, and it easy to understand, is no reason to have it as most important stat in PS2. PS2 is different, and don't tell me score/minut would be hard to understand (or any better way of tracking score, this way being afk would harm your stats ofc.)

And stats give you a "Big brother is watching you" feeling. You should have a button like "don't track me" or "track me as anonymous player".
