HS% higher than 30.
I think its a interesting thread, what u guys think is the most useless stat in comp?
To me, personally, makes no sense having 60% HS, and then stay 7/20.
I remember when Myssen got that statistic in the old Havan Liberty... and the whole team did poor internationaly, back then...
Im a bit suspicious on Cortezia, but he appears to be a good player overall.
rating is not a very good factor for measurement bc it completely denies role importance
an initiator should get more priority for assists, a senti should get more priority from staying alive, a duelist should get more priority for fk, and a smokes should get more priority for space denied/util used (idk how to measure this one)
Crazy take.
Ik it isn't counter-strike, but it's crazy to me that 30% is 'too high', while around 50% is the expected average in cs2.
Yes, 7/20 is bad, regardless of HS%, but if someone gets 25 kills in a map, below 150 adr, and has an abysmal HS%, I'd assume they're just baiting/trading. Yeah, important fundamental, but anyone could do it, at least at the pro level.
#7 aside
Nah 30% isnt "too high", but the stat is still borderline worthless.
HS% is just a stat that lacks any and all context in a game where context is king.
There are just so many correct plays, that lower your HS%. Spraying through smokes, right clicking with the classic, buying like half the games guns, spray transfers, confirming kills on low hp tagets (util damage galore) all are "bad" plays according to this stat. And thats only the things I can think off from the top of my head, im sure theres way more examples when paying attention to it during a pro game.
A players ability to get consistently get HS is ofc a good thing; however the stat doesnt properly capture this.
its not a important fundamental if u are a professional player. Cuz they all have a good aim. So if a player have like 20% more hs than the other player, that means absolutely nothing, because there are many variables in the game, and styles too, that impact this statistic. So it's pretty much useless (at this point). But as I said in some comments here, it is overvalued by casters, commentators and influences the people who watch it.
agree, but its worthless cuz ppl and the "valorant midia" hype so much. kinda like "omg he has an amazing hs %, wow, he is a beast". It really depends, like someone already said, theres a bunch of kills that u get normally without HS. like through smokes, operator, frenzy, sheriff body shots and etc... If u are have a good aim, u normally will have between 25 and 40% hs. Other than that is basically hype and playstyle, like u pointed.
Gotta agree with HS% as a stat. Though I dont agree that its a bad sign; it just isnt a positive one either. As long as the player preforms otherwise then theres no harm in their playstyle resulting in a high HS%. If you can consistently hit the ghost/sheriff 1 taps then its fine that you dont get the classic (for the right click) for example.
The other stat that I find pretty useless is KMax. Should be obvious why its not practical in a game with variable game length, but its just a "for fun" stat, that gets brought into stat discussions from time to time.
yeap. 100%. But more than that, u pointed sheriff and ghost kills, but sometimes you will only need one body shot with sheriff if u teammate already engaged a fight with that player and let him with low health. Its a super overrated stat. That ppl on the valorant midia and low elo players make a big case. But if u are Radiant (or a person with brain), u will see that its not that much important for that level of gameplay.
