Trevor's Razor 

Trevor's razor is a principle that states that the player in a match in a video game that performed the best most likely had a good game or got lucky, and that he or she is not the best, despite outperforming everyone else.
Trevor's razor is especially useful when you play a competitive FPS.

Robert's Mastery Paradox 

When your skill and talent are seemingly useless due to a series of unfortunate events, thus restricting you from winning or progressing.
Robert's friend was banned in CS:GO (a videogame) and the game demoted Robert to a lower division. Robert now struggles in the lower division due to an unlucky number of terrible teammates, and his skill is unrecognized. Robert's mastery paradox is haunting Robert, for fear that promotion to his true rank will take longer than expected, or worse, may never happen.

Anakin’s Paradox 

When the action of one’s doing to prevent something ends up being the catalyst for its occurrence. For example, if I set out to save a fish, and my attempt to save the fish ends up getting the fish killed, then this is Anakin’s Paradox.
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith really showcases Anakin’s Paradox.

Scoreboard Syndrome 

When a player in a videogame uses their superior score in a certain match as the authority and a way to absolve themselves from criticism from other players.
I told John that he needed to work on his AK-47 spray in a CS:GO match, but he shrugged it off and told me that he was doing better and therefore I can't speak about his AK-47 spray. Carl and I knew this was a classic case of the scoreboard syndrome.

Pre-K Commie 

A teacher that doesn’t allow his or her students to bring in snacks, unless they have enough to share with the entire class.
Mom! Don’t bother packing extra food. I’m not allowed to have any food around after lunch, my teacher is a pre-k commie!

The Bad Player Effect 

When a player is so clueless and bad, that it benefits him or her. Sometimes, resulting in defeating others that are skillful.
What? This guy killed me! Who nonchalantly pushes the middle of the map like that? That is a pure example of the bad player effect!

Arrowed Noggin 

When one receives multiple arrows to the head (noggin) in rapid succession.
After pissing off expert archers, they soon quickly turned my head into an Arrowed Noggin.
