Player Impact and the Distribution of Impact across a team: EMEA LCQ

A player's impact is often difficult to measure in VALORANT. There is an abundance of stats available to understand how a player performed such as ACS or ADR, but none do a great job of showing simple impact. They tend to be duelist favoured and very rarely tell the full story of how much impact a player has had across the course of a game.

Using data from the EMEA Last Chance Qualifier, I decided to calculate KAST percentage for every player. Then using this KAST percent as a measure of impact, I calculated how this impact is spread amongst a team with a statistic I called the Impact Distribution coefficient. From this, we can examine how this distribution of impact affect team performance as well as other interesting hypotheses.

You can read my brief summary HERE. Or, for a more in-depth read about these statistics, how they were calculated, and their wider implications you can download my full paper HERE.

Hopefully, the wider community find these statistics interesting, and I will be able to study these statistics across many more teams and regions.
