    I mean, it’s totally possible to die and get better. A cousin of mine had a nasty car crash a few years ago. Died twice. He’s fine now. Granted, I don’t think he’s killed anybody so the point is moot for him, but people absolutely can have defined K/D ratios.

    Easy, yes we do. In fact you are pretty sure you are only going to die once( unless something happens).

    So the kill/death ratio is alway (or almost always) the same as the kill number.

    In calculus, things that divide by zero you really learn ״go to infinity” - just graph it and you’ll see! The smaller the denominator gets the larger the result. True, there is no actual value at actual zero. But isn’t sickness limited death? But my crap is still zero because of the numerator.

      Thats incorrect too, the real answer is that its undefined. Infinity only is the correct answer if you only examine it from the positive side, so limit of a/x as x goes to 0 is infinity, but if x starts out as negative, the answer would be negative infitnity, causing a logical paradox.
