I've tried to make a comprehensive list, but I still feel I've missed some. Moreover, the game is forever evolving, so more will be added.

Feel free to add any that I've missed.

    There is one more you missed:
    AAR - Ability accuracy reduction.

    As much as I used ST+KM, it's embarrassing I missed this one.

    Thanks for the list, very handy if I forget an acronym.

    Well buff/nerf is indeed in forum terms an improvement/decline of a champion, in-game it is buff/debuff and applies to a certain type of status effect that yield positive/negative results.

    Don't forget nodes, a lot of people (myself included) don't usually know all the effects by hard. I've searched the internet and there is nowhere a list of those. Like:
    • Masochism
    • Buffet
    • Mesmerize
    • etc.

    Also: meme champion: KK, Colossus, Spider-Gwen, Joe Fixit,...

    Also, nicknames. Like potato head (MODOK).

    This is a list of acronyms though, so your point is not necessarily relevant in this discussion.

    Dupe - Duplicate Champion
    Kabam-med - Getting a horrible champion in a crystal you invested a lot of time on. Otherwise known as life slapping you in the face.

    That's all I got.

    Or......we could negate the need for a comprehensive list of acronyms and abbreviations by not being lazy and actually typing out the names.

    You haven't used the in-game chat much, don't you?

    The node name is a sort of abbreviation. Nobody really states if it is a node or what it does, but assumes everyone knows.

    Win the game - achieve something thought to be very difficult in nature, especially that which one previously believed that one would never achieve. (Ex. ROL, LOL, Darkhawk Uncollected)
