It's indeed hard to put a value on that, considering it's a very vague idea.
Its value could be hidden in places like boosting 5 teammates' performance by 1% each. Nobody can really detect that considering 1% is much smaller than the random fluctuation one can expect out of any player. It'd be even harder to detect if we don't know what 5 teammates would have this boost.
However, if the total magnitude of this contribution is really significant, we should have been able to detect it.
