  • We're going to end the debate on who the most impactful Valorant players are in the World. Check out www.immortalro... for premium coaching!
    In this video we calculate some more meaningful metrics which tell us much more about the impact of a player compared to K/D, rating, or KDA to help us end the debate once and for all on who the best Valorant player was in 2023.
    Thanks to www.augment.gg/ for providing all the data for my research!

      yo, at the start of the video, you showed a piece of code with if statements and methods to calculate the impact and ratings of players. For this, does the code also directly take in data from the matches or do you have to import the data as a spreadsheet/vlr link? Also, is there anyway to share the code to read?

      Why wasn’t Lock/In used in the data set? I feel the charts might look different I think Chronicle especially (although not best player contender) is pulled down by his poorer performance at Champions compared to Masters and Lock/in and more data would be better + I’m interested to see how it changes the data.

    you shouldve done a stat of how much their deaths "decrease" their winrate with the same matric and subtracted it with the impact to show real impact. someone can get a lot of winning kills for their team but also a lot of losing deaths. for example if your team is up 5v4 and you die you make the round 20% more winnable for the other team, because you lose the advantage for your team and go from 70% chance to win to 50%.

      After thinking about it here's my response that I also posted in the thread but can't pin because I have to keep my sponsor up 😄:
      A lot of people have commented on considering deaths as impact lost into the last statistic and here are my thoughts on it after thinking for a bit:
      It's certainly a great point but the issue is that impact of a kill if traded does not become 0. In fact, many top players have the opinion that an entry who gets the first kill and dies is very valuable, because they took initiative, challenged space, gained info, and then started the chain of trades where your team is much more likely to come out on top. It's true that a kill that isn't traded is "worth more", but how much more? In the end it's better to just treat them all the same and let the statistics balance themselves out instead of applying an artificial value.
      What do I mean by balancing itself out? If you think about it, when you live later on into a match, you inherently will have the opportunity for more important kills. For example, if you kill every single player bringing the round from a 5v5 to a 5v0, you only earn 50% impact, but if you clutch a 1v1, you immediately gain 50% impact for winning. The statistic naturally balances out these situations.

      @@platoonvalI think adding up deaths is really important to level it out, mistakes lose rounds and are as important as good plays that win rounds. On top of that, teams with more rounds won in total may be skewing the data? From all the teams you analyzed you'd have to level it out to for example the highest common number. If a team won 340 rounds and lost 310, then analyzing 310 wins and losses would make sense. Otherwise a team that lost more as a whole may have lower percentage of 'round winning impact kills' across the board, and it depends on who they played against, etc.

    I feel like the use of utility, which can't be quantified, is what make "valorant best player" debate actually pointless. If there was a way to calculate statistics of for example "how the use of utility helps to win rounds for the team, per player" and have like "weighted averages" considering utility is used different regarding team roles (duelist/initiators/sentinels), it would give a sense of a complete comparison between players, not just regarding kills or death. That's why for me, Leo is top 5: His usage of utility is second to none in my opinion

One thing I’d suggest considering is counting in the importance of getting a kill on a certain player, getting the first blood and etc. For example, LOUD lose 80%+ of rounds where Aspas dies first. This means that getting the first blood specifically on Aspas increases your chances of winning that specific round in a 5v4 scenario by more than 20%. Would be fun to look at those results and who knows, maybe even see a drastic change?

Dude can shoot, dude can clutch, he has a lot of impact on almost every game with kills, utils and assists, he's gaining a lot of info, anchoring like hell, delying the whole game or speeding it up when necessary - simply an insanely smart player and in my eyes the currently best one in the world.

    I think a lot of people missed the take away from the video. There cannot be a “best” or most “impactful” player, because there are so many stats that can and cannot be measured. It is essential your duelist know how to entry (ranked duelist don’t…) it is essential your initiators know the timing on their util (ranked initiators don’t…) it is essential that your controllers take charge in controlling the map effectively (ranked controllers don’t…) it’s essential that your sentinels hold wide areas of map control and gather passive info (ranked sentinels don’t…). Because everyone of those jobs are so unique, you simply cannot verify a “most impactful” player. To win you need everything to piece together in a beautiful blend, which, may dilute the stats. Controllers and initiators typically do your mid round clutches. While duelist are normally your early round frags, with sentinels being your late round clutches. Your role is important at different points in the round leading to part of the statistical conundrum.

  • @Oc10_
    @Oc10_ 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I think the value of Leo isn't really shown in this video. The first stat is quite misleading as Leo has one of the Lowest death ratios in all of VCT, including FD ratio. On top of this Leo's KAST is ridiculously high, meaning when he dies he has done at least some impact in almost every round. This is something not highlighted here at all as not dying in a round or only dying when necessary is not valued. On top of that Leo is rarely someone to completely pop off in a game, the only times he's really needed to is in game which Fnatic are struggling, the value of Leo comes in his ability to not only set up his teammates, but also consistently do so, as he rarely dies. On top of this because of your statistics getting FKs is really important, but what this means is that you will commonly overvalue duelists, as you never even look into the assists at all. Something like FK assists is also extremely important then as, especially in pro play, an assist can be the only reason that kill every even happened, like if a player is revealed behind a wall, stunned or flashed. I just think alot of these stats don't highlight the positives of a player like Leo, as alot of the stats you looked at doesn't consider quantity at all, as f.ex the amount of round where Leo dies first for Fnatic is so ridiculously low

    its really shows jinggg is a one of a kind player, to be that impactful whilst playing an almost forsure geturself killed style
    sad he wont be there for paper rex 2024, its going to leave a huge gap for monyet to fill and others to also fill (i think something will improve since this was his rookie year)

  • @The_DorkLord
    @The_DorkLord 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I think this is very cool, and makes me want to get my hands on the data to mess around with it. I think that analysis does somewhat seem to undervalue utility. Since teams are pretty much static, it would be possible to explain a lot of the kills as being in large part from good utility. While capitalizing on the util is important, I think that the way the data is interpreted here over-emphasizes it. Generally the reason that Leo is brought up as the "best" is because he "makes the fewest mistakes". Even though Jingg and Aspas do great, the value of not using util at bad times and vise versa can be more impactful overall.
    I have no idea what the best way to measure would be, but perhaps also comparing each player's winrates in XvY scenarios against the average would be interesting. It would also provide some balance for the non-dive and non-contact roles against the first blood stats.

  • @oisin2696
    @oisin2696 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    While the video is very interesting I do feel like a lot of important statistics can't be calculated in a good way, to name a few:
    Bringing a 1v5 to a lost 1v2 might not win you a round, but could be massive depending on the economy and clutching a pistol round probably leads to another round win.
    Another important statistic is utility, kills might win you rounds, but good utility gives kills.
    And then there are the two that I feel are the least talked about but also most important, shot calling and mentality, shot callers are the core of the team, and staying calm under pressure is in my opinion the most important skill.

    - PRX lost their most impactful player, Monyet has big shoes to fill
    - Less is more but losing Aspas can’t be underestimated
    - Lev going to be fire with Aspas & King
    - Navi is going to miss every international LAN if Ardlis plays like the 2023 version of himself and not the 2022 one

    you arent accounting for first deaths, the top five are basically all duelists because the FK is really important (because of how drastically it improves WR, especially nowadays were teams are getting so good at 4v5 conversion). you should also calculate how many times they failed in getting that kill and maybe also look at who got assists for the kills. (although what counts as assists in game might not be the most accurate measure)

    • @platoonval

    @Hello-wo4sx 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'd be super interested to see a death counterpart to the last statistic. that is largely weighted toward duelists because they take the most first engagements and second in because they can trade and bring it back to even, neutralizing the advantage, however those players are also far more likely to give up the advantage to the other team. one of the reasons leo is so good is because he is almost never first dead, and contributes the least advantage to the other team by dying, regardless of the advantage he gains for the team. If you had a statistic that weighed these against each other that would probably be the most indicative statistic of a players value i can think of and i'd be shocked if yay 2022 didnt top this list by a mile. great video though! i love these types of complex number analysis videos for digging up more information than is obvious!

  • @zeckex564
    @zeckex564 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This video is amazing, the metrics, the graphs and the analysis are incredible. However, I think your measurement for the actual impact of each player isn't quite precise. Of course, with how little data we have from Valorant and vlr it's hard to make a measurement, if we actually had a replay system and analytics like CS:GO had we could literally make charts like HTLV does with deep statistics on each players and make a top 20 or something, but sadly we don't have those tools.
    I think your measurement of the impact it's wrong because you're not measuring the kills impact but more you're like adding up the %impact they make. For example take these 2 5v5 scenarios:
    1 - Jett gets a first blood on enemy's Jett who was trying to take a pick on Mid
    2 - Jett gets a first blood on enemy's Jett who was anchoring the site with a OP
    As you probably guessed, the second scenario has way more impact on the actual winning on the round, on the first scenario you get a kill and get control over a crucial part of the map, but you still need to achieve your objetive as an attacker to win the round. Having mid control it's important, but not that much.
    In the other hand, the second scenario gets you full site control and the spike plant. You went from working A to have full control over the bombsite and forcing a retake, where the defenders are almost always on a disadvantage, plus you would be in a 4v5 since you killed their Jett.
    If you ask me, the second scenario had almost twice the impact on the round, but yet those 2 scenarios would give the same score on your graphs.
    This video was amazing anyway, the visuals and everything was excellent, I just wanted to point out this (and to be fair it's almost impossible to measure this since we don't have a replay system and we have very few analytics)

    Nice video. The only problem is even these numbers don't really say anything.
    Valorant is a teamgame. If you put any player in a different team i guarantee you their stats would change.
    So your stats always depend on the stats of your teamates and of your enemies, on the strat your team has and on the strat the enemies have. What agents are played and so on.
    You also have to factor in communication.
    There are an infinite amount of factors. And since there are infinite factors everybody is the best at infinite things.
    It is impossible to take them all in consideration and decide their importance and therefore the simplest metric is used to decide who is the best and that is kill average.
