Don't you expect a lot of zeroes in there because for one reason or another the team was asked to do something else that round (run gears for example)?
I felt that median was a better number for my thought experiment because it gives a higher number than mean with all perhaps 1/3rd of the scores being zeroes due to nobody else in the match that can effectively run gears.
That said, I suppose that Mean is probably about as good as a metric and would be a lot easier to estimate.
