Hello,
This topic could probably have gone under Gaming Discussion, but never mind.
Heat maps aren't a metric in themselves, it depends on what data is being plotted on it. A tool like http://demo.ehvag.de/ allows you to select which metrics are shown. I would say it's pretty self explanatory from this point, but something you conclude would be where a lot of choke points are and what angles people hold to make those kills based on the kills / deaths categories.
I would use them as a shortcut to watching hundreds of demos to get an idea for how people play the map. I believe it can also map the routes people take, so you can see if there's a lot of back and forth and what that could mean.
There is a talk by Jim Brown (Epic Games) where he also talks about interpreting heatmaps if I remember correctly: http://gdcvault.com/play/1020844/T…of-Everything-A
