The Importance of Stats in a Video Game.

Statistical data

I am talking about how important stats are in games today. Whether it is an online game or your favourite single-player experience, there are stats!


Dota 2

Most gamers are likely well aware that dota 2 is a legend of a title, currently the most played game on Steam. They are a prime example of why stats in a video game matter!

Things Dota 2 does right.

  • Matchmaking rating system (MMR) similar to elo rating system in chess tournaments.
  • Keeps track of all your kills and deaths.
  • Shows you your average experience per minute, and gold per minute.
  • Keep track of your win rate with any hero.

I could go on about all the different stats that dota 2 keeps track of. Utilizing the information you gather from your gameplay stats, you could theoretically play much better by only choosing heroes based on your win rates, xpm, ect.

I have an amazing win rate as the hero, Spectre. Oh yes, I am also looking for a match ;)


Recording of game play stats adds an extra element to the game. Stats in video games have improved so much over the generations. Earlier gens of video games, for example Pacman, are known to only keep track of high scores.

Another thing dota 2 does right is that other players can only see basic information about you. They won't be able to see your win rate with certain heroes, and definitely won't have access to the complex stat tables that keep track of every detail. They will however, be able to see your gold per minute, and XP per minute.

This is basically the only stats other players can see of you.
