HLTV Attributes receive an overhaul with 29 new metrics
Today we are shipping an update to Attributes to both streamline them and bring them in line with rating 3.0. Since we launched them in 2024, attributes have served as a signal as to what type of player someone is.

While rating covers performance, attributes cover style. Read more Introducing HLTV attributes With the launch of 29 new metrics today, we get closer to that goal of encapsulating what type of player someone is.
To make that even easier for users to understand, we are no longer showing as many metrics underneath each attribute after you click. Instead, we usually show just four — the ones that contribute to the overall attribute score.
19 of the new metrics are available right here. The whole element now fits in one screenshot on most devices, so you can get a full grasp of a player without needing to scroll.
These are all deliberately stylistic metrics, and we have done our best to remove outcome from the stats. For example, we are now using 'tradeable deaths' instead of 'traded deaths' in Entrying.
It should not matter whether a teammate secured the trade or not, as our chosen player made the same action. The same goes in Opening, where opening kills (a half-and-half performance stat) is gone and we just use opening attempts (a clear style one).
Moreover, Clutching has been renamed to Closing, with new metrics aimed at showing which players are most often in late-round situations.
