VALORANT VOD review rubric for useful team notes
This rubric helps VALORANT captains and analysts tag VOD evidence by round state, first death, trade window, utility value, spike decision, retake path, and next practice action.
Rubric table
| Review lens | Question to answer | Evidence to capture |
|---|---|---|
| First death | Was the player unsupported, too early, too late, or holding the wrong lane? | Round timer, agent role, map location, teammate distance, and trade result |
| Utility value | Did smoke, flash, recon, molly, wall, or trap change the fight? | Ability used, target space, enemy response, and whether the team acted on it |
| Spike decision | Was the plant, cancel, rotate, fake, or save call clear enough? | Spike carrier location, enemy count, site control, and comms note |
| Retake path | Did the team group, clear, trade, and use remaining utility before defuse pressure? | Entry order, utility count, flank state, first contact, and defuse timing |
Tagging sequence
- Watch only one half first and tag no more than three repeated habits.
- Mark each note with map, round number, buy state, agent role, and timer.
- Translate the strongest pattern into one practice assignment for the next block.
- Save highlight examples and lowlight examples so the team can compare decisions, not personalities.
Rubric checklist
- Every note describes an observable action, not a vague claim that someone played badly.
- Every review item names the next drill, comms rule, or economy rule.
- Every timestamp includes the round state so pistol mistakes do not get compared to rifle rounds.
- Every captain handoff limits the next practice block to two priorities.
