How the profiles are built.

Sources

Modes, team sizes and requirements come from each game's official site and support pages: Steam Support for Counter-Strike 2 Prime Status, Epic Games help for Rocket League cross-play, and the official game sites linked on every profile.

Dota 2 match lengths are DotaCoach averages for patch 7.41c: 40.1 minutes for All Pick and 25.5 for Turbo, with 90% of Turbo games ending between 15.9 and 37.4 minutes. Valorant Swiftplay's length of about 15 minutes comes from published coverage of the mode.

Estimates

Where no source gives a length, we estimate it from round limits and timers and marks it “est.” on the chart: CS2 Premier 35 to 50 minutes, Valorant Competitive 30 to 45, League of Legends Summoner's Rift 25 to 35 and ARAM 20 to 25.

The four ratings

Rules to learn: 1 means the objective is the whole rule set (Rocket League), 5 means heroes, items and map objectives must be learned before decisions make sense (Dota 2).

Aim and control: 1 means hand speed rarely decides a fight, 5 means it decides most of them.

Talking load: 1 means players can act alone, 5 means the team agrees on plans during every phase.

Session flex: 1 means one match fills an evening, 5 means several fit into half an hour.

The ratings are editorial judgements built from each game's documented rules and modes. They are not measured from player data.
