Seeing KDR does shift the player’s focus from objective to KDR… But there are some players (like me) who would do anything to keep a good KDR.
I wana see my KDR, i dont wana see other’s stats…I just wana see mine.
Showing KDR will have a positive effect as well as a negative effect.
Lemme show you an example…
I am a random player, playing normal. I press tab and look at that my KDR is high but my score is low…I could realise that i am not exactly contributing to the mission. Now i could safely stop camping / switch char and help the team with the objective, knowing my KDR is safe.
I am playing really really bad, but i am getting a few kills here and there, mostly because of luck. I am using a merc with a gun that i cant shoot , but i think im good because im getting random kills. If i could see my KDR, i could understand that i am bad with this particular loadout and i could change. By changing my current loadout to something i can actually use, i am going to contribute more to the team…Rather than being a bullet sponge… [ every day i see people with 0/10+ death]
I could compare myself with different loadouts… Lets say , proxy[smg / shotgun].
I could use either of those loadouts and compare myself, how useful is that gun at different positions. I could compare and findout which of em are better for me. Which of em do better job at keeping me alive.

Hiding player levels would be really bad idea @Kenzi , why? These high level players, obviously has better skills than us lowbies. So naturally they will be steam rolling us, and if we cannot see the player’s level…everybody would be yelling ZOMFG HACKER , CHEATER, GAME MANY CHEATA, I QUIT…
Also, i am not exactly agreeing with OP here, im just expressing my views. Before somebody asks says ,
I dunno if old games showed KDR and i dont care.
No im not 12yr old.
No im not a kid.
