Elo
Elo refers to a numerical representation of a player's skill level. While it originated in chess, it is now used ubiquitously across competitive video games and sports to facilitate fair matchmaking. It is treated as a value that fluctuates based on the outcome of matches and the relative skill of the opponent.
In modern gaming culture, "Elo" is often used interchangeably with "MMR" (Matchmaking Rating), although technically MMR is the hidden value used by the system and Elo is the visible rank. Players frequently use the term in a casual or semi-competitive register, often discussing "Elo hell," a slang term for a state where a player feels trapped in a low rank due to poor teammates.
Because it is a specific rating system named after Arpad Elo, it is traditionally capitalized, though in casual internet slang and gaming forums, it is frequently written in lowercase.
