HLTV Attributes up and running
In the live HLTV confirmed event at Cologne last week, the trio of the trio of SPUNJ, Professeur and Striker gave us a first look into an upcoming feature - HLTV Attributes which as professeur described was a way to figure out a lesser known player or team's playstyle.
The feature has officially hit the live build of HLTV's sites and is in action currently. HLTV Attributes uses the following parameters on a scale of 0-100 to determine and better represent a player's playstyle:
Firepower
Takes kills, multi-kills and damage into consideration to represent a player's raw output.
Entrying
Initial contact and first kills come into play while considering how many times the player was traded.
Trading
Usually highlights the second player entering a site. Takes into account trade attempts and successful trades.
Opening
Counts the occasions where a player has drawn first blood. Often compliments entrying but an aggressive can often score high in opening. A lurker might score high in opening but low in entrying.
Clutching
Based on how often a player is alive towards the end, their success rate in 1vXs make up most of this parameter.
Sniping
Directly based on AWP and Scout kills but with a hint of variety to mark secondary and hybrid snipers.
Utility
Comes down to damage churned out from nades along with flashbang usage and assists.
While these parameters give a good idea of the player's tendencies and playstyle the new feature however will not completely define the skill level of a player. The Attributes section has two main filters to view either the T or CT-sides separately or view stats in a per-round fashion or per 24 rounds. The per-24 rounds filter is made to roughly showcase how players perform through the length of one entire game.
