Alright, so the other day, I was trying to figure out what this “ADR” thing was in CSGO. I kept seeing it pop up in discussions and stats, and honestly, I was a bit lost. So, I decided to do some digging and get to the bottom of it.
First, I hopped on a few different search engines and typed in “ADR CSGO.” I was trying to understand what it actually stands for. Turns out, it’s pretty straightforward – Average Damage per Round. Basically, it’s a way to measure how much damage a player is dealing to their opponents on average each round. Seems simple enough, right?

- So, I started paying more attention to my own ADR in matches.
- At first, I was just trying to get a feel for the numbers. I noticed that my ADR was kind of all over the place.
- Some rounds I was doing a ton of damage, other rounds not so much.
Then, I started looking at what other people were saying about ADR. I checked out some forums and comments sections to see what the general consensus was. From what I gathered, an ADR of 120 is like, god-tier. 100 is considered really good, 80 is decent, 70 is pretty average, and anything below 60 is, well, not great. But, of course, it also depends on how your team is doing overall. If everyone’s crushing it, your ADR might be lower just because there’s less damage to go around, you know?
After getting a better understanding of what ADR is and what’s considered a good number, I started actively working on improving mine. I focused more on my aim, tried to be more aggressive, and also was trying to land those headshots as much as possible, since headshots deal more damage.
Experiment
I played a bunch of matches with this new focus. Some games went really well, others not so much. But, slowly but surely, I started seeing my ADR creep up. It wasn’t a huge jump, but it was definitely noticeable. I went from averaging around 60-70 to hitting 80-90 in most of my games. Some matches, it’s even better than that.
It felt good to see that number go up. It’s like, a tangible way to measure your improvement, you know? It’s not just about kills, it’s about consistently dealing damage and contributing to the team. And honestly, it made me enjoy the game even more, knowing that I was getting better and actually making a difference.
So, yeah, that’s my little journey into the world of ADR in CSGO. It’s a simple stat, but it can tell you a lot about your performance and give you something concrete to work towards. I’m still trying to push that number higher, but I’m pretty happy with the progress I’ve made so far. If you’re also curious about your own performance, I’d say give it a look and see where you stand. It might just give you that extra bit of motivation to step up your game!
