Valorant is the latest Riot Games project to spark a thriving competitive scene in the first-person shooter community. With millions of players – new and old in the genre – trying their hand at mastering this new game, for many, tracking their game statistics is becoming a necessity for improvement.
Because the statistics that the game itself records for players are very basic, advanced players prefer to use third party statistics tracking sites instead.
Steps to make your Valorant account public
Your Valorant account automatically becomes public when you log into your Riot account on any online stats tracker. One of the most famous trackers created by established third-party developer Riot Games is the Tracker Network.
It is recommended that when you sign into your Riot account, you start with an incognito tab; this way you will avoid accidentally logging into someone else’s account that has already been registered in the browser.
Follow these steps to make your Valorant account public:
- Go to tracker network
- Sign in with the Riot ID you want to make public (or go to the official Riot website to create an account first).
And in the same way, your profile will automatically become public. To change your privacy settings later, you must first claim your account by going to your profile page.
The Tracker Network uses the original API provided by Riot Games with approved access and therefore does not put your Valorant account at risk.
What stats can you find in the game
The in-game stats you can find in the career menu show a scoreboard of your last 10 games, which can be useful, but hardly enough data for players looking to improve their skills.
Looking at the scoreboard of a particular match, apart from general stats like KDA, First Bloods and Defusals, there are two that need some work:
Economic rating
The economic rating essentially determines how effectively you manage your in-game economy. If you have to spend a lot of money to get a kill, the worse your economic rating will be. Generally, Econ Rating is calculated by tracking your damage dealt to enemies per 1000 credits spent – this includes damage dealt by both weapons (you buy for yourself) and utility.
This means that if you spent 3000 credits and dealt 300 total damage to the enemy team, you actually earned an economy rating of 100.
While the Econ Rating is not a good representation of your skill or purpose, it does indicate how capable you are with the weapons and utilities you purchase. Typically, an economic rating of 55-75 is considered average, while 100 is considered very good.
Average combat score
Combat Score refers to the impact you had in one round, while AVG Combat Score (total combat score averaged over all rounds) refers to your overall impact on the game. Thus, the higher the AVG Combat Score, the more impact you have, which determines the MVP of the team and the MVP of the match.
Battle score depends on the following:
- Damage: You gain 1 point for each damage
- Kills: You get 150 kill points if all enemies are alive, 130 if 4 are alive, 110 if 3 are alive, 90 if there are 2 left, and 30 if you kill the last enemy left alive.
- Multikills: You get 50 extra points for each additional kill.
- Non-Damaging Utility: You get 25 points if your non-damaging utility helped your teammate get a kill.
At the end of the round, all of these points are added up to determine your battle score. And at the end of the game, your average battle score across all rounds is taken as AVG’s battle score.
What statistics are recorded by third-party trackers?
These trackers go much deeper than what the game records for you, covering all the important information like K/D ratio and headshot accuracy, as well as more niche data like clutch lifetime, most used weapon or your the most successful maps / modes, etc.
Almost all numbers will be useful for any player who wants to improve their skills and increase their rating. However, the following characteristics are considered the most important:
Headshot accuracy
As the name suggests, headshot accuracy refers to how consistently you hit your head. In any FPS game, especially tactical shooters, your ability to consistently hit heads is what makes you a good player, making this an important stat to keep an eye on.
Since tracker.gg shows the percentage of headshots in the last 20 games, you can effectively track these statistics and work on improving them. If you’ve noticed this percentage drop in your recent games, it means you’ve weakened your target and need to practice a bit, especially if you’re adamant about ranking up.
Firing range or firefight queues are excellent opportunities for target practice. But keep in mind that you have to focus on headshots if you want to improve your headshot accuracy.
Winrate of the agent
Undoubtedly, your skill with the agent largely determines your behavior in the game. You don’t want to get into a rank up game with a new agent that you barely played before. That’s why it’s always a good idea to keep track of the agents you work best with.
Not only that, these stats will also help you narrow down the agents you want to be in charge. Naturally, you’ll want to lead an agent you’re good at, especially if you’re looking to move up the ranks.
Be sure to look at your agent’s win rate across all activities and episodes to get a better idea of which agent you’re best at.
Why You Should Use Third Party Trackers
Trackers, in this sense, are a great way to add to the fun of competing with friends, as they allow you to check your position on the global leaderboards throughout the game, episode by episode, act by act.
Recording your performance and showing it to the world adds even more fun to Riot’s latest hit video game. And for top ranked players, this is a great way to become famous and gain recognition by helping to improve the ecosystem of the entire community.
Summarizing
All this goes to show how vital online trackers can be in helping you improve your Valorant skills. We hope you’ve followed the steps to make your account public and are that much closer to improving your Valorant experience!
