I kept staring at this wondering if my numbers were wrong or if there were hidden numbers I couldn't see. But yes, the closest I could get to the KDA shown was by doing K + A - D.
Which isn't a ratio at all!

General DiscussionFix KDA Ratio?
On the "Most Game Impact" page for heroes, the KDA ratio display is currently incorrect. The current formula is Kills + Assists - Deaths. For example, 10 kills, 10 assists, and 10 deaths would display as a 10.0 KDA ratio.
The correct formula for the ratio would be (Kills + Assists)/Deaths. So in the above scenario of 10 kills, 10 deaths, and 10 assists...the KDA ratio would be 2.0 which is the proper number.
If you need clarification of this formula, think of a standard KD ratio which is Kills/Deaths and not Kills-Deaths. 10 kills and 5 deaths would be a KD ratio of 2.0 (K/D) and not 5.0 as your formula (K-D) would suggest.
If you prefer your formula of K+A-D, you should at least rename the subtitle so that it isn't a "ratio", but rather a custom KDA formula. Perhaps the best solution would be to expand on the columns and add one for K+A-D [custom], one for (K+A)/D [KDA ratio], and one for K/D [KD ratio].
