LockBlaze Rating System

A comprehensive guide to understanding our advanced performance rating system for Deadlock players

🎯Rating Philosophy

Understanding the core principles behind LockBlaze ratings

Raw Performance Focus

Our rating system prioritizes individual skill and performance over match outcomes. Win/loss results do not directly impact your rating, allowing for accurate skill assessment regardless of team composition or external factors.

Rather than relying on simple KDA ratios, we analyze multiple performance dimensions including combat effectiveness, economic efficiency, team contribution, and strategic impact.

⚡Individual Match Rating

How we calculate your performance rating for each match

Performance Components

KDA Impact

40% Weight

Measures combat effectiveness using kills, deaths, and assists

KDA = (Kills + Assists) / max(Deaths, 1)
Score = min(1.0, log(1 + KDA) / log(1 + 6))

Uses logarithmic scaling to properly reward exceptional KDA without harsh caps. A KDA of 6.0 achieves maximum score (1.0).

Kill Impact

25% Weight

Evaluates the frequency and timing of eliminations

Kills Per Minute = Total Kills / Match Duration (minutes)
Score = min(1.0, Kills Per Minute / 0.5)

0.5 kills per minute represents excellent aggressive play and earns maximum score.

Economic Performance

20% Weight

Combines soul generation and last-hitting efficiency

Net Worth Per Min = Total Souls / Match Duration (minutes)
Last Hits Per Min = Last Hits / Match Duration (minutes)
Score = min(1.0, (Net Worth/800) × 0.6 + (LH/5.0) × 0.4)

Targets: 800 souls/minute and 5 last hits/minute for optimal economic performance.

Team Contribution

10% Weight

Measures support and teamwork through assist frequency

Assists Per Minute = Total Assists / Match Duration (minutes)
Score = min(1.0, Assists Per Minute / 0.6)

0.6 assists per minute indicates strong team coordination and map presence.

Survivability

5% Weight

Penalizes excessive deaths that limit map impact

Deaths Per Minute = Total Deaths / Match Duration (minutes)
Score = max(0.0, 1.0 - (Deaths Per Minute / 0.4))

0.4 deaths per minute (1 death per 2.5 minutes) begins applying significant penalties.

Performance Modifiers

Difficulty Bonus

Adjusts rating based on opponent skill level (badge ranks)

Bonus = 1.0 + (Difficulty Factor × 0.3)

Up to 30% bonus for matches against high-skilled opponents

Game Length Bonus

Rewards sustained high performance in extended matches

Bonus = 1.1 if (Duration >= 40min AND Performance > 0.7)

10% bonus for maintaining excellence in long games

Final Calculation

Performance Score = Σ(Component × Weight)
Modified Score = Performance × Difficulty Bonus × Game Length Bonus
Final Rating = (Modified Score ^ 0.8) × 100

The power curve (^0.8) creates better score distribution by slightly compressing the high end while maintaining distinction between skill levels.

🏆Overall Player Rating

How we calculate your comprehensive skill assessment across multiple matches

Component Ratings

Evaluates performance in high-pressure situations and critical moments

Combines: KDA (60%), Kills per minute (20%), Match difficulty (20%)

Positioning Rating

15% Weight

Assesses tactical positioning through kill-to-death efficiency

Formula: (Kills per minute / Deaths per minute) normalized to 3.0 ratio

Accuracy Rating

15% Weight

Measures mechanical skill through aim accuracy and precision

Uses accuracy data when available, falls back to performance approximation

Utility Rating

10% Weight

Evaluates resource management and objective control

Combines: Net worth efficiency (40%), Objectives (30%), Accuracy (30%)

Difficulty Rating

10% Weight

Reflects the average skill level of opponents faced

Based on average badge levels of opposing teams across all matches

Consistency Rating

5% Weight

Measures performance stability across different matches and conditions

Calculated using standard deviation of difficulty-normalized match ratings

🤖Special Handling

Bot Matches

Matches against AI opponents receive special treatment to ensure fair rating calculations:

  • • Assigned baseline difficulty level (25/50 on normalized scale)
  • • Individual match ratings averaged directly for overall score
  • • Perfect consistency rating (100) applied
  • • Used for practice and skill development tracking

Missing Badge Data

When opponent badge levels are unavailable from the API:

  • • Baseline difficulty (50%) applied to prevent rating penalties
  • • Ensures fair assessment regardless of data availability
  • • Consistent with mid-tier opponent assumption
