What Is ADR In CS2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ADR is an acronym for Average Damage per Round<\/strong>. In many (but not all) situations, ADR is considered an accurate representation of a player’s impact in a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, let\u2019s say Player A deals 80 damage with an HE Grenade to a group of enemies and another 90 with their AK-47 without scoring the killing blow. But then Player A gets taken out by an opposing player. Player B finishes off two enemies with a pistol, who both have 20 health, effectively dealing only 40 damage but scoring two kills. The kill\/death of Player A is 0-1 and 2-0 for Player B. However, Player A dealt a whopping 170 damage in the round compared to Player B\u2019s 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADR in CS2 isn’t always<\/em> the best stat for indicating overall player impact, though. In the above example, Player B could have been on 20 health themselves and nailed a 2v1 clutch situation. That\u2019s one of the reasons HLTV.org has widely used Player Rating and Impact Rating systems<\/a> to consider ADR and other statistics as an accurate representation of player performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is \u201cGood\u201d ADR?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some CS2 fans believe<\/a> that an ADR of roughly 90 is the minimum to be considered “good.” We are here to set the record straight: an ADR of 90+ isn’t just good, it indicates a tremendous performance. For most players, an ADR above 70 is “good,” while 80 is brilliant, and 90 to 110 means you are absolutely on fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
