The numbers you see at the end of every match are more than just a fancy way to highlight who wins and losses. Every scoreboard recounts a detailed report of the many factors that came together to result in victory and loss, and knowing how to make sense of it all may just be the biggest prize of every match.
Pro players make use of all this information, knowing that every creep score and every ward placed is a piece of a map that could lead to the next victory. What if you could analyze these numbers for yourself and make use of them?
Let’s dive into those post-match numbers and see them for what they truly are.
There are two main ways to view the game’s various numerical data. We’ll take a look at both of them to get things started.

Reading your player data from the client is the easiest way to gain an overview of your recent performance. You can check your win-loss record for your overall performance and download a replay of your recent matches. This gives you an idea of what to look out for.

To gain insight into more valuable data, we’ll also need to tap into third-party tools.
With these tools, we can break down our data in more meaningful ways. We can attribute results to certain changes we’ve made, and dissect other aspects of every match.

Going back to our player stats, several key values are essential for understanding where we stand and the keys to further improvement. There are two categories for them, and we’ll cover each.

The core gameplay numbers. That means we interpret them the same way every time.
KDA: Most players are already aware of this, since a higher score means you’re contributing while ensuring that you’re not feeding.
CS per Minute: Higher CS/min means better efficiency since this drives your items and upgrades.
Gold per Minute: The direct numerical representation of your ability to generate resources. A higher number goes more than just farming, but also translates to your presence having an overall positive impact on your team.
These numbers are analyzed differently depending on your role and how you play.
Kill Participation (KP): Higher scores matter more for supports and junglers, since this means you’re involved more when your team downs an opponent. Top laners can be given some slack if they’re getting pressured, but this directly represents your contribution to eliminating your foes.
Vision Score: This directly correlates with how much of the map your team can see and is generally a team-wide performance indicator. Place wards effectively to see and identify enemies, and adjust your activity if you’re going too low in this.
Damage: This figure lets you know what you and your team are contributing to the damage-dealing. A tank with lower numbers is fine, but damage dealers scoring low means they’re not pulling their weight.

Now that we know what key numbers mean for our matches, it’s time to address our flaws and work on anything else that can be improved. We take note of our performance metrics and compare them against established standards to see if we’re meeting expectations.
The key here is to accept results objectively. Being defensive about it won’t help you improve; it’ll even impede you. Now, let’s have a look at typical standards for mid laners.
| Key Metric | Silver IV | Gold IV | Platinum IV | Diamond IV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CS per minute | 5.8 | 6.4 | 6.8 | 7.2 |
| Kill Participation | 42% | 44% | 45% | 46% |
| Vision Score / hour | 35 | 42 | 50 | 58 |
Know the standards for your role and adjust your performance to meet them. You’ll improve your efficiency and work your way up from there.
After reviewing your post-match numbers, learn more match details with a replay review. This will provide additional insight into what went wrong, as well as show what you’re doing right. Combine the numerical data with the performance review to see the best results.

Learning how to decode these numbers is just the beginning. You’ll be able to improve your game with these methods we covered, but there’s a limit to how competitive you can be by going at it all alone.
Having a specialist work the numbers with you will help immensely and allow you to save a lot of time and focus on the most important tasks ahead.
