Maybe you should add "Juggling" for when you continuously let drones fly between two micro rifts by respectively activating and deactivating them.

Bridging Equivalent.

Wouldn't say so, bridging was a lot more useful. And I doubt you will be able to use this to pwn as many maps as were with bridging.

CBombs, ConBombs, Conv. Bombs, C-bombs are just abbreviations. CB's is more useful, just like MR's for microrifts.

Juggling should definitely be in the list (although used for other games as well), because it makes much more sense than most of the other mentioned terminology. Of course it should be explained by mentioning MR's.

Save-scumming is common terminology used for many games, not just CW.

Also please note that something only becomes common terminology when widely adapted. I've never heard/seen anybody calling phantoms 'flies'.

I think we still need a name for luring drones with the LS in the beginning of a mission.
And maybe one for targetting creeper with a launcher through a MR.

Inspiration anyone :)


Btw: IMO you can remove the (!spoiler alert!) since here you won't find anything that can be really seen as a spoiler.

drone-baiting and micro-launching perhaps?

Me, I yell at them every time an attack occurs saying "YOU STUPID FLIES!!!". :D
