Blowing a winnable game through bad decisions — losing a lead you should've closed out.

The rank bracket where you feel permanently stuck no matter how well you play.

'Good Luck, Have Fun' — the friendly thing you type at the start of a match.

Good game, well played — the slightly more sincere cousin of GG.

The team in the top-right base; gets the final counter pick in the draft.

Letting a teammate die in a fight you could've helped with.

A skill-gap blame — saying one player or side was simply outclassed.

The hidden skill number deciding who you get matched with.

To weaken something in a game update — the dev's way of toning down an overpowered pick.

The team in the bottom-left base; gets first pick in the draft.

The player whose whole job is racking up kills and clearing bodies for the team.

A round where the team saves cash instead of buying full gear.

The player dragging the entire team to victory on their back.

So frustrated your judgment goes out the window — playing emotionally instead of smart.

A number that says how good you are. Higher is better.

'Good game, easy' — typed after a win to flex and disrespect the losers in one breath.

Going off on teammates in chat. Pure rage, zero help.

Ranked way higher than you actually deserve.

Drafting a champ specifically to beat one the enemy already locked.

Defenders piling up at one spot to wall off a push.

The brain of the team calling the plays mid-match.

Bad Manners — disrespecting your opponent with taunts, emotes, or trash talk.

A team locks itself in a house to grind practice before a big tournament.

The first kill of the match, which hands out a chunk of bonus gold.

In-game leader, the player who calls the team's strategy and reads.
