Zoner/Zoning | A class or player that tends to backpedal a lot in order to keep distance and take minimal damage. Many people find zoners annoying due to the fact that they take minimal damage from just staying back at a long range. | "Ugh, this Mercenary is zoning a ton, it's really annoying. | |

Counter | A class that is able to defeat another class more easily than a different class. It is also a phrase that is used when a class can somehow absorb or reflect attacks. | "Stop countering me using Knight, it's annoying. | Can also refer to Duelist/Valkyrie, although these are not strict "counters". (See pages.) |
Vulture/Kill Stealer |
A player who picks on the weak, or players who have low health. Some classes are meant for vulturing so they aren't always salty (i.e. Reaper) |
"man you're literally a vulture who keep killing those low-health" | |
Teamer | A player who teams with another player. This is often used in a demeaning manner. Only teamer if intentional. Not bannable with 2 people.
Denotes weakness, even more when defeated. |
"TEAMER NOOB!" "God, these people are teaming, they are so cringe." | Not everything is teaming. |
Salty | An adjective for players who act bitter.
They use unbalanced classes such as Firecracker or "no-skill" classes such as Warrior. |
"Ugh, he's just some salty kid." | |
Cringe | A player, class, or playstyle that is often seen as dirty or unfair. This can also be used to call a certain class or move overpowered. | "Bruh, stop heal camping, it's cringe." "Jester's moveset is really cringe, it's so overpowered." | |
ez | Another way of saying Ez and is toxic to others when said. Usually is used to counter toxic people and make them ragequit. If you do it as a response, you are not as bad as the person who started it. | "EZ WIN." "ez" | |
CQC | A way to shorten Close Quarters Combat | "holy sheesh i hate CQC" | |
KYS | A acronym for kill your self (please don't) | "Jester user kys :vomit_face:" | A good 98% of times this is said, its censored, so people will try to bypass it or split it between messages, far more common on discord |
Trivia
- There's a way to bypass the "kys" in Roblox by putting the @ at the start.
- Please don't do this because apparently you will get warned or short-duration banned.
