レート

• 読み: レート
• ローマ字: rēto
• 漢字の分解: From English 'rate/rating' — a numerical competitive ranking score in games
• 発音: /ɾe.ː.to/

意味

Rating — a numerical score representing a player's competitive skill level, going up with wins and down with losses.

From English 'rate/rating,' レート is the number that defines your competitive standing. Similar to Elo ratings in chess, it provides an objective measure of skill. Players obsess over their レート, and phrases like レートが溶ける (rating melting away from losses) capture the emotional experience of watching your number drop during a losing streak.

例文

1. レート1800超えてからマッチングがきつくなった。
2. 負け続けてレートが溶けてるんだけど。
3. レート上げるために立ち回り見直してる。
