Youtube Hero is the nickname given to a player in a video game who insists on trying to kill the enemy in style and/or over-elaborate ways time and time again when simpler more effective ways exist. He/she constantly costs his/her team victory by continually trying to show off his/her skill in a manner that makes it look like they are trying to get some clips together for a Youtube montage.
In Gears of War
Jim: I killed three of the guys on their team and the last one came up behind me and got me, where the fuck was John?
Mike: He was way in the back with the sniper trying to blind fire a headshot.
Frank: God damn I hate Youtube Heroes
