FAQ

Who made this and for what purpose?

This visualization was made by a group of graduate students at University of Washington for a data visualization class.

Why did you use median instead of mean?

The median is not as heavily affected by the outliers as the mean.

The sample size by league was as follows:



Bronze: 167

Silver: 347

Gold: 553

Platinum: 811

Diamond: 806

Masters: 621

Professional: 55

Perception Action Cycle (PAC)?

Think of a PAC as when a player moves the camera and takes at least one action. 20 PACs per minute would equal 20 camera movements with at least one action over a minute.

Within a PAC there is an calculated number of actions, latency time between those actions, and gap of time between the next PAC.

For the original definition please refer to the research paper: Video Game Telemetry as a Critical Tool in the Study of Complex Skill Learning.
