What is VS/APM

[lowlightxd]

Hello,
Sorry for bothering. My friend sent me a stat check between me (a noob) and icly and our vs/apm's were the same.
I looked around in the sheetBot.js and it seems like vs/apm is just vs divided by apm. But what does that stat really means. Is that like a relative skill quotient?

I kinda see VS as a "Multiplayer" value. It goes higher when you clear garbage efficiently, send cheese, and as you go faster and it scales a bit from apm. That means that if you divide VS by APM you essentially can get a rough approximation of someone's playstyle.

Someone with a VS/APM way lower than 2.0 (something like 1.66666) could indicate a very efficient player or a opener user meanwhile something above 2.1 could indicate perhaps a player that waits more for the opponent to send garbage to attack back. It's not the most accurate metric by any means but it does provide an information.

(NOTE: I've written here my own interpretations of VS/APM and they're not by any means accurate either. Besides my information on this is a bit outdated cuz i didn't play in season 2 as much.)
