what is elo in r6

In Rainbow Six Siege, Elo stands for "Electronics Learning Objectives," which is a rating system that determines a players skill level in the game. The Elo system was originally created by a Chess Grandmaster, Arpad Elo, to determine the skill level of chess players. The Rainbow Six Siege ranking system follows a modified version of the Elo/Glicko system, which was originally created for one-vs-one games like chess. In this system, players gain or lose Elo points based on the rank of their opponents and whether they win or lose the match. The system does not take into account a player's K/D ratio or their kill-based performance. The Elo system in Rainbow Six Siege has been criticized by some players, who claim that it is "weird" and that players gain high amounts of Elo at the beginning but it thins out as they go on into their "deserved ranking". The term "Elo hell" is also used in video games, including Rainbow Six Siege, to refer to a range of the matchmaking ranking spectrum where skilled players can remain stuck regardless of their personal skill.
