Hey there, young’uns! Let me tell ya ’bout this thing I heard, called ADR in CS:GO. Now, I ain’t no fancy computer whiz, but I’ve been listenin’ to these young folks talkin’ ’bout it. Seems important in that shootin’ game they all play, Counter-Strike somethin’ or other. They say it is important.
This ADR, it stands for somethin’ like “Average Damage per Round”. Sounds like a mouthful, right? Basically, it’s how much ouchies you give the other fellas in each round of that game. Like how many times you make them yell, “I’m hit!” You know what I mean? The more damage you cause, the better you are, they say.

So, if you got a high ADR, that means you’re a real sharpshooter in that game. You’re really layin’ the smack down on those other players. You’re a force to be reckoned with! I heard good players always have a good ADR. They told me this way.
Now, I don’t play these games myself. My hands are too old for that kind of stuff. But I hear these young’uns sayin’ that a good ADR is somethin’ like 90 or more. 90! That’s a lot of ouchies! If you’re gettin’ that much, you’re probably pretty darn good at that game. It is not easy, you know.
- ADR, that’s what they call it.
- It means “Average Damage per Round”.
- The higher the number, the better you are, they say.
- Around 90 or more is considered good.
They say ADR in CS:GO is important. Some young people say it is most important. They always look at that number. It is like how much you help your team. If you ain’t doin’ much damage, you ain’t helpin’ much, right? Makes sense to me. Even an old lady like me can understand that. If you don’t shoot, you lose.
This whole thing, it’s kinda like back in my day when we used to play marbles. You wanted to be the one knockin’ the most marbles out of the circle, right? Same idea here, except with bullets and stuff. And you need to knock out more marbles than others. Then you win.
I heard them sayin’ that this CS:GO ADR thing used to be called “score”. And they showed it right there in the game, on the screen. So, everyone could see how good, or how bad, you were doin’. No hidin’ your score in that game! You are good or you are bad, everyone can see.
Now, I reckon there’s a whole lot more to this game than just this ADR thing. There’s probably all sorts of fancy strategies and tricks that these kids use. But from what I gather, this ADR in CS:GO is a pretty big deal. It’s like a report card for how good you are at shootin’ in that game.
I remember one time, my grandson, bless his heart, he was tryin’ to explain it all to me. He said, “Grandma, it’s like, if you’re plantin’ seeds in the garden, and you want to see which plants are growin’ the best, you gotta look at how many vegetables they’re producin’, right?” And I said, “Well, of course, sonny! You gotta see what you are getting!” He said ADR is like that.
- High ADR means you’re doin’ good.
- Low ADR means you need to practice more. Maybe your aim is not good.
- It’s like a score that shows how much you’re helpin’ your team.
- They used to call it “score” in the game.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this ADR in CS:GO thing. It’s all about how much damage you’re doin’ in that shootin’ game. And the more damage you do, the better you are. Simple as that. Even an old lady like me can understand it! You just need to shoot good to get good ADR.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I hear my stories callin’. And these old bones need a rest. But I hope I have explained what ADR means in CS:GO for you. You young’uns have fun with your video games. Just remember to be good sports and don’t let it go to your heads. And don’t forget to come visit your old grandma sometime! We can talk more about this ADR, or whatever you young folks are talkin’ about these days. I will be very happy if you visit.
