The VLR Rating stat is such a bad way to organize players, let me explain why. The only time where rating actually gives you good insights is in individual maps. However when you collectively get the stats of all the maps the player has played, vlr just averages the ratings. This is so bad because if someone does good 1 map where they 13-0 a team it compensates for doing poorly the next 2 maps. instead of adding the new stats together and calculating a new rating, it just averages the ratings.

here are examples of ratings just robbing the actual mvp of the teams:

the rating system is shit but using ACS to prove how the player did is dumb
ACS counts KPR and ADR, so 99% duelists players will have a higher ACS

true but look here, mazino has almost 20 kills more than king and they have basically the same rating

the only solution I see is if VLR recalculates the rating every time they use the stat instead of averaging it.

VLR rating is a bad stat, but ACS is worse
