The Purple Mage Metric ('PMM') ranks players based on multiple in-game data points to measure overall efficiency. Traditional methods of player rankings are heavily reliant on one or two data points, lacking precision and making them unreliable. An example of this is using a simple metric, such as a kill/death ratio, to rank players in shooter games. This metric fails to measure a player's overall contributions to a team-based outcome. The PMM ranks players on a combination of team, objective, and individual play to establish the most precise player ranking system in esports. The Purple Mage Metric provides scoring on a scale of 0 - 200, with 0 being the lowest possible score and 200 being the highest. The PMM will be used as an overall measure of player efficiency similar to a Quarterback Rating (QBR) in American football and Wins Above Replacement (WAR) in baseball. PMM is a benchmark measure and we aim for it to become an industry standard of player ranking and comparison in esports. Furthermore, the PMM will be used in-house by Purple Mage as the base statistic for player comparison across multiple titles. The PMM was recently beta tested using Call of Duty: Modern Warfare statistics to rank volunteer players from amateur clans to professional teams. 'The results of our PMM Beta test proved to be an extremely precise measure of player rankings based on multiple in-game statistics' said
