👉 The Rating Weapon, also known as the "Rating War" or "Rating Game," is a strategy in online gaming where players engage in competitive behavior to gain advantages over their opponents, often by manipulating or falsifying their game ratings. This can involve artificially inflating their rating to gain better matchmaking, access higher-tier content, or simply to outrank rivals, while simultaneously trying to lower their own rating to appear less skilled and thus secure easier matches. This tactic can lead to a toxic gaming environment, as players may resort to cheating or exploiting the system, ultimately harming the overall community experience.
