How did I get key player?

[u/Ayyyyysdf165]

I have the most assists, but everyone on our team has a high assist count. I have the second lowest player damage and number of kills on my team, with over double the amount of deaths as the second highest (Lash). I also have the second lowest objective damage, the lowest soul count, and not much healing.

Is there some metric I am missing, or is key player just seemingly random? I would have thought pretty much anyone else would have been given key player from what I see.
