Valorant's New Performance Score Could Rewrite How Competitive Shooters Measure Skill

Most fans of tactical shooters can probably agree that there's rarely a more satisfying sight than having your name at the top of that scoreboard. Sometimes, it doesn't even matter whether the match went well; if you have the most kills, you're the king of the world, and that's that. However, ValorantPatch 13.06 seems to disagree that this is the best system for measuring skill in a tactical shooter. The new update caught players off guard as it completely changed the scoring system by switching its Average Combat Score with the so-called Performance Score.
