kill ratio

Deaths per death

Kill ratio is a military metric comparing enemy casualties to friendly losses, expressing combat effectiveness: The battalion achieved a ten-to-one kill ratio.

In video games, especially shooters, it tracks kills versus deaths as a measure of player skill: His kill ratio improved after he switched weapons.

Also called kill-death ratio or K/D.
