Stat Definitions

The following is a list of stats and their definitions. Not all stats are listed, just ones that may need some additional explanation.

Takedown

A Kill or an Assist. Granted to heroes upon an enemy hero death if the hero has damaged the dead hero within a short time, or are near the enemy hero when they died.

Kill

Got the last hit that killed a hero.

Assist

A Takedown (but not the last hit).

Kill Participation

Percentage of total takedowns the unit participated in. This is [Takedowns] / [Total Team Takedowns]. Note that this may sometimes be over 100%, if heroes like Murky, D.Va, or the Lost Vikings are in play due to some odd counting of fractional takedowns.

KDA

Ratio of Takedowns to Deaths. This is [Takedowns] / [Deaths].

Vengeances

Internal stat, used for awards. Number of times this hero killed an enemy hero that recently killed an allied hero (I think).

Time Dead %

[Time Dead] / [Match Length in Seconds]

Deaths While Outnumbered (DWO)

Number of times the hero died while outnumbered. This may be due to a gank, or they were possibly the last unit standing in a team fight.

Escapes

Internal stat. Number of times a hero escaped with little health or escaped from an attempted gank? Not actually 100% sure how the game defined an escape.

Team Fight Escapes

Same as Escapes but specifically from team fights. Team fights are defined internally.

Damage per Minute (DPM)

[Hero Damage] / [Match Length in Minutes]

Physical Damage

Siege Damage

[Structure Damage] + [Minion Damage] + [Summon Damage]

Summon Damage

Damage dealt to summons (from Zagara, Nazeebo, etc.).

Creep Damage

Healing Per Mintue

[Healing] / [Match Length in Minutes]

Healing Per Death

[Healing] / [Deaths]

Team Fight Healing

Damage Soaked

This is [Damage Soaked] - [the sum of HP at time of Death]. I remember reading this from Blizzard at one point, but it’s been a while.

Damage Taken per Death

[Damage Taken] / [Deaths]

Team Fight Damage Taken

CC Time

Total time that CCs that are not roots, silences, or stuns applied to enemy team. Slows are included as CC.

Experience per Minute (XPM)

[Experience Contribution] / [Match Length in Minutes]

People Per Kill (PPK)

Team Stat. Number of heroes involved in a takedown on average.

Mercenary Uptime

Team stat. Percentags of the match length that at least one captured mercenary was active for a team. Note that sappers will probably have a low uptime, due to them blowing themselves up.

Time Per Talent Tier

Team stat. Length of time a team spent at each talent tier.

End of Game Level Differential

Team stat. Difference in levels relative to the team at the end of the game. Additional stats for games where the team won and lost are provided.

Round [x] %

Draft stat. Percentage of the picks where the hero was picked at round [x]. Note that round 1 includes the absolute first pick and also the two picks from the other team (that’s the first round of draft).

First Objective Win

Battleground stat. Number of times the team that got the first objective won. For Sky Temple, this is determined by the number of shots each team got. If both teams got the same amount, no team won the objective. For Warhead Junction, this is the team that launched the most out of the first 4 nukes, if both teams launched the same, no team won the objective. For Towers of Doom, this is the team that won 2/3 towers.

Contested Hero

Team Details: Compare. Highlighted row in the heroes table on that page. Defined as a hero where both teams have pick %s within 10%, and pick a hero at least 25% of the time, or where one team prioritizes banning a hero that the other team picks (30% threshold for pick and ban rates).
