Misc/Terminology

 

AS - Attack Speed

MS - Movespeed

HP - Health Points

Inv - Inventory

Jungling - Farming,grinding or also called killing the creeps which are placed in the woods

Exp - Experience "I'll go exp" "I'll go level"

Miss top/mid/down [name of hero] - Players usually say "miss" when a player is missing from their lane, for example im in top lane and i have as enemies tiny and potm so i say "miss potm top" if i know where he's going then i'll say :

care - You say to someone care when you think that the person will get ganged for example if you are sure potm is going mid you'll say "Mid care" or :

b - B means Back. Back is a demand and it's used to alert the players of your team used like "b mid" or when you push and your goal in your push or gang or raid is complteted you'll most likely say "team b"

ss - SS is another way to say miss.

Gang - Gang is a team action which is described like this. You and your team is gathered and you assault an enemy. To be more precise you and f.e a teammate backstab an enemy.

me b shop/ b shop / shop - ppl usually leave lanes so they can visit the shop to buy things so they not their teammates by saying "b shop" or only "shop"...

gg - gg means good game. People use it when you fight a duel 1v1 , after the duel ended they cheer the winner with GG. Also in the end of the game someone may say gg expressing his opinion on how the game went and to be more certain if someone says gg he just wants to say everything you or your team or someone else did was good. Good game mainly :).

ng - ng on the other hand means noob game mostly used when the battle becomes 1 sided .

feeder - a player most likely a newbie that doesn't controll his hero well and he lets the enemy kill him without any resistance , or going to enemy base without any serious reason

bd - bd means backdoor or to be more certain backdooring means when you're attacking a tower or any other enemy base without any creeps around you.. for example if you go solo a tower it will be called bd and it's not really allowede altho if you are in enemy base soloing a tower while there is even 1 ally creep in their base its allowed.

fb - first blood [first blood is the 1st kill registered in the dota map and as an award of doing a fb the one who did it gets a bonus of 250 gold]

 

Ok so much for our mini dictionary if you think something's missing tell me and i'll add it

 

Twinks : AS / MS / BS / SS [missed anything?] be sure to check what both of the twinks mean so you can be sure when someone use them what they reffer to.
