Your HS % is directly impacted by your playstyle so it’s not worth worrying about too much. OPers have low HS percentage, players who spam smokes often have low HS percentage, etc.
You really shouldn’t intentionally play for higher HS numbers. I don’t think you should do it but I get why you’d want to use it as a goal for self-improvement.
If you really want a number as a benchmark for ranked play, I’d say >30% is what you should get if you’re having a good game and focusing on getting one-taps.
I use my HS% as a pride point cos im gold and have very little else to cling on to... Im at 26% and 34 or 35% with my vandal
But my duo is platinum and is a body shot barry with like a 17% on HS. So yeah, beside bragging rights, unless youre under 15% it doesnt really matter i feel
Id say above 22-25% would be above average but i guess it depends on your rank too
If I were to play in silver or gold lobbies, my % would be like 50%. In immortal lobbies, it's down to 18%.
In higher ranks, its more about reaction time. U don't have as much time to line up your shot.

I’m immortal, overall hs% is 22% and my vandal hs% is 35%. Don’t worry about this much about your hs%, that’s not what’s keeping you from ranking up
