I never really played online video games, only games I played were The Sims, a bit of Warcraft, and Hitman when I was a kid. Then, during the pandemic, my husband was playing Dota almost every evening with his friends. I wanted to learn, and they helped me. This weekend, I reached Divine! I can’t believe it! Started as a herald and here I am, my husband is so proud of me. 😁

my boyfriend is always playing Dota 2 and he wears a headset when he plays with his friends and I hear him talking a lot about objectives and fighting

lately I’ve started saying stuff like “you dont have vision” and he thinks it’s funny and I was just wondering if there’s any other lingo or phrases I could throw at him that might surprise him

or honestly just any video game lingo

the other day I asked him what TP is and we were cracking up

the only video games I play are sims and animal crossing so I’m not really up to date on “gamer slang”

appreciate any and all help!

(he also plays elden ring? elder ring? call of duty and some college football game if that helps)

Update 1: I asked him why he doesn’t have BKB and he just gave me a confused look and didn’t comment further. Will try to blurt out stuff from time to time so he doesn’t become suspicious of why I know these kinds of things

Nightfall, Kiyotaka, TORONTOKYO, Mira, Panto

The lane is a 2v2 not a 1v1v2.

If I am stacking or leaving lane to get rune, play safe.

Help me get the lotus for our team, the 3 min lotus is huge and likely worth more than you waiting to last hit a creep.

Don’t ask for wards if you won’t help me safely deward them. When offlane escorts his 4 to deward and you are solo farming, I can’t really contest that ward.

End the effing game. I don’t want to play past 50 mins on a game we’re winning by 40-10 because you want 6 items.

Why would you nerf this hero? He wasnt even getting picked in pro scene that much and in high level pubs he has basically disappeared.

To deal with things like Infernus dash trail, Kudzu bomb, Geist bomb, Talon snare, Alchemical fire, and whatever else I can’t think of right now that denies ground space.
