What Does KR Mean in a Text?

Gaming Slang for Newbies

If you're new to gaming, then there is more to learn than just a game's moves and strategy. Gamers should also be familiar with gaming slang, which has around 200 terms in common usage, many of which are difficult for new players to guess. But, you should persevere. Understanding gaming jargon improves collaboration by helping gamers to convey complex strategies, emotions, and actions quickly. Here is the term you care about:

KR means "Kill Ratio (Gaming Term)" and "Kind Regards."

Kill Ratio

The abbreviation KR is used in gaming to illustrate how many enemies a player kills before being killed. The "Kill Ratio" is expressed in a format, such as 2/1 or 2:1. In many games, the KR is a valid indicator of a player's skills. However, in some team games, an individual's focus on KR can often be detrimental to team play. In a gaming context, KR has the same meaning as KDR (Kill-to-Death Ratio). "Kill Ratio" is also the title of a 2016 Hollywood film, starring Tom Hopper, as a CIA agent operating in Europe.

Kind Regards

In a wider context, KR is commonly used with the meaning "Kind Regards" to wrap up text-based conversations and emails. It is used in its literal sense, i.e., there is no connotation. KR literally means "I wish you kind regards."
