General DiscussionPls define certain dota dictionary words specifically

What is tl dr

meta : right now, meta heroes=heroes that are good right now, meta strategy = strategy that are good right now

kiting : i can explain this with example, like sven who god strength that get slowed with venomancer and sven can't reach venomancer and veno control him so hard that sven can't do shit

juking : means using fog of war or terrain to make enemies hard to detect you. like in the trees and anything

strat : strategy

tl:dr : too long, didn't read. too many words on post make readers lazy to read

CMIIW

what is ddos?

Just to clarify Rins point on juking that it can also refer to dodging abilities in general

ddos : if i am not wrong is direct denial of service, is like spamming server with not important data to make server overload and crash

Op you mean dota jargons not dictionary words.

Thx a lot

Put tank in a mall No Kappa

Cool, so what does Kappa mean and 4head mean. and all the feelgoodman and feelsbadman shit mean. I'm not joking. i have googled it but i still dont understand.

i have googled it but i still dont understand.

those are twitch emotes

Meta = Heroes that are mostly played currently / way to play heroes currently. heroes are by no mean good juste because they are meta, some of them are horribly bad, but counters, or are mistaken for being good/being good played this way (like we used to have for carry slardar, or like we had with the midas + blink into full teamfight slark) Ofc, as you'd rather play heroes that win, most of meta heroes are good.

Kiting = running away (while staying in combat). You kite mele heroes, so they lose a lot of timing chasing after you, which mean a lot less damage from them, and once they stop chasing you, you instantly fight back

Juking = running away/hiding, using decor's advantage

Strat = strategy

GayFace risking looking like an idiot GayFace

Cool, so what does mean and 4head mean. and all the feelgoodman and feelsbadman shit mean. I'm not joking. i have googled it but i still dont understand.

@danny

Kappa is generally used sarcastically, 4Head is used for laughter. Both are twitch.tv chat emotes. FeelsGoodMan and FeelsBadMan are BetterTwitchTV (BTTV) emotes, which is an add-on for your browser that adds more emotes that only BTTV users can see (plus other features).

why bother when u can just LUL

remember when people would spam FailFish CS and BrokeBack NA Dota, now it's just LUL

gg = when enemy team get firstblood.

#abandon

GG = When you are laning as a carry but has a last hitting support

GG=when you have a team with at least 10loss streak with the same hero

GG = Good game, used in all chat during an end of a match or used to signal surrender after a teamfight so frustrating you just tilt. The users of the term include but is not limited to 1ks who first pick LC and claim jungle then get counter-picked resulting with him feeding and subsequently abandoning, guy who first picks carry and the other guy who second picks another carry who then proceed to lane each with each other stealing last hits from each other and generally lose the lane. Oftentimes paired with "WP"

WP = Well played, 99% of the time sarcastically said in team chat after an absolute shit teammate/s does something equally shitty to their shittiness as a player. This is often the precursor of a report to the said shitty teammate/s. The other 1% is when you win/lose the match against legitimately good enemies whilst playing with legitimately good teammates, and you just want to express your acknowledgement of their skill.

wp = when your natures tps into enemy tower tower while trying to snipe courier

tldr

"GG
I am afk
end plz"
When your teammate feeds & blames the entire team for it,not him/her self.

This just became a joke thread...
I like it

Meta I'm pretty sure is short for metagame and is derived from metadata. Metadata is high level informational grouping of more specific data. For example it'll tell you like 50% of your subscribers from from a particular country or whatever.

It's used like very incorrectly in dota but it basically means the overlying populist strategy around the game. The meta is what's considered to be the normal/popular way of playing, ie heroes that are strong and fit the most popular strategies. It doesn't really mean best, just most popular.

TEMPO CONTROLLER

This is post actually helpful. And dota player should know the complete definitions of dota role, such as what is hard carry and carry. Or Nuker vs Disabler

One time, our Naix chatted "I go offlane" during early game when he is going straight jungle.

Offlane means "Lane away from your jungle. Top Radiant, or Bot Radiant. Thats offlane" (or am I wrong?)

Zoning = harass enemy from farming laning without creep aggro

I was being serious about the kappa and shit... i dont use twitch but to watch people play games like doom.

gg = when your NP TPs to the radiant ancients ward spot to afk farm their ancient creeps
one of the most untolerable thing in low level pubs
dagon qop and mom voids looks like something relevant compared to that crap
