I see how this might move the focus for some ppl, but more kills equals better chances even if teamplay ofc is the most imp. factor for the team to pull it off.
More kills does NOT equal better chances. I don't know why people are always so focused on k/d, because it doesn't say much. And even if you'd put k/d into an equation: Who's got more money, one with 2:0 or one with 5:0? You can't answer that, because the one with 2:0 might have gotten a double kill of the 2 strongest players in enemy team each worth 500, while the other one might have killed the tinker worth 200. So the first one would have gotten 200 more gold (doublekill bonus). What about deaths? Well, depending on your tank worth your spawn time is different, so you could die 10 times and it could be less of a problem than someone else dying once, because he got a bounty of 1k and you only got 200. Of course, the examples are extreme, but I hope you get now why k/d in itself doesn't really say much. And I wasn't even talking about winning games with all people having negative k/d (which happens quite frequently btw, because after all k/d is no victory condition).
Also I'd not like to have even more **** focusing on k/d, there's already enough of those out there.
