Community Stats
Community stats refer to the data aggregated from thousands of matches uploaded to NightLight by individual players looking to track their games.
Requirements/Exclusions
In an effort to provide a more accurate depiction & reduce biases from NightLight users themselves, there's a few requirements & criteria which control what's included in Community stats.
All Stats
- Matches must be reviewed
- Screenshots must have a valid match date
- Matches tagged as being from the PTB are excluded
- Only the original upload is counted (i.e. no shared matches are)
Stat Specific
| Stat | From | Exclusion Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Killer Pick Rates | Survivor Games* | |
| Killer Kill Rates/Distribution | Survivor Games* | Farming Games, Incomplete Matches |
| Perks Usage/by Character | "Random" Players | |
| Builds | "Random" Players | Contains Unknown Perks |
| Map Stats | Survivor Games* | Farming Games, Incomplete matches, No Map Set |
*In order for Kill Distribution stats to make sense, all survivors are included (i.e. NL users & friends as well as "randoms").
ℹ️ Incomplete matches are matches with any unknown or alive statuses
Perk Usage Colours
Perks around the site will usually have backgrounds of varying colour. These colours are intended to represent their "usage tiers" based on community stats. The idea is to give you a sense of how meta a perk or build might be at a glance.
The tiers are calculated based on what a perk's usage rate would be if they were all used equally. For instance, if there were 50 perks for a role which were all used equally then each would have a 2% usage rate. We could express this as being a 1x usage rate and group everything relative to that. So, a perk with a 5% usage rate would be 2.5x, and one with a 1% would be 0.5x - make sense?
The groups NightLight uses are:
- 🟨 <0.5x
- 🟩 0.5x - 1.5x
- 🟪 1.5x - 3x
- 🟥 >3x
