This. So what if public games are random players? Winning > KDR & SPM.
Depending upon the game type, a high SPM could actually be a bad thing. It means you're failing to guard your objective correctly.
It frustrates me to no end when playing domination to see my entire team rush objective C after we have A & B down. Yeah, we'll dominate them for all of 3 seconds and then they take A & B, and it seems from that point onward, my team can't seem to capture another objective again, and then we become dominated, and they degrade into a TDM mode, and we lose 250-28 (yes, that has happened).
And in CTF. Killing an opponent before they get to your flag and keeping your flag from being taken in the first place is a better approach, yet it gets your less SPM.
Winning the match is a better approach to tell how good you are versus KDR or SPM. If you can win more often than not, especially in pubs, you're a better player than a person with an awesome KDR and SPM who loses almost every match.
