Player Contribution
In team game modes, individual contributions are crucial yet often underrepresented by mere statistics. Recognizing this, FNCompRankings emphasizes the Sell Factor to provide a more accurate reflection of each player's impact within a team.
The Sell Factor in Team Game Modes
Team dynamics in competitive Fortnite extend beyond individual performances. Traditional metrics like eliminations and placements don’t fully capture a player’s true influence on their team’s success. Factors such as solo clutching, support roles, and game sense play significant roles but are harder to quantify.
Addressing the Gap
To bridge this gap, starting from Chapter 4, we began collecting detailed Grand Finals statistics. These stats offer deeper insights into each player's performance during high-stakes matches, where every decision can determine the outcome.
Developing the Contribution Formula
Our formula calculates a total contribution score using a combination of key metrics:
- Kills
- Deaths (with negative weighting)
- Downs
- Distance Traveled
- Damage Dealt
- Damage Taken (with negative weighting)
- Damage Ratio
Each of these metrics is weighted and combined to produce a performance score. This score is then compared across teammates. For example, in a Duos game, the player with the higher performance score is recognized as having a greater impact.
Real Example
In the 2024 Global Championship, Peterbot achieved a performance score of 18.75, while his duo Pollo scored 9.94. Using our formula, we deduced that Peterbot contributed to 65% of their total first-place placement. This insight highlights Peterbot’s dominant role in their victory.
