What is Average?

Average
Average (avg) refers to the average matchmaking rating (MMR) level of players in a game. When someone says "avg 5k" it means the system matched players with an overall average MMR around 5000. This metric affects the strength of opponents and teammates in ranked games but doesn’t always reflect a player's personal MMR.
Can also be applied to other parameters — for example, “avg KDA,” “avg GPM,” etc.
