Map angles
Where players take their fights from on each map and side in this act's competitive, unrated or Swiftplay matches, and the rarely used spots that win clearly more than the average.
How to read this
A common angle is a spot where many of the side's fights happen. The arrow shows the way players there usually face.
An off angle is a spot that sees fewer fights than the side's average spot yet still wins clearly more of them than the side's average. A spot needs at least 30 fights across 10 different rounds, fights from the same round count once when judging how sure the result is, and the bar rises with the number of spots tested, so one lucky spot among hundreds is not enough. Spots are ranked by their win rate pulled towards the average by 30 fights' worth.
Positions are snapshots taken at each kill, not continuous tracking: a spot counts the killer's position for a kill and the victim's for a death, in cells of about two metres.
Angles come from a sample of up to 1,000 matches of the chosen mode on each map, spread evenly over the current act (the last 30 days while no act is known), and are worked out again every day for competitive, unrated and Swiftplay apart, so they follow the current patch without leaning on a single day. The map list shows the maps played in that mode this act.
