lobby syndrome

The inability to be productive because you have a scheduled appointment later in the day. The feeling is similar to that of waiting in a real lobby.

“I’ve got lobby syndrome… I have a doctor’s appointment at 2:30 so I can’t start anything significant before then”

>lobby

Used by seasoned players who’ve seen enough nonsense to predict disaster before it strikes. You see the names, profile pics, ranks of the lobby and know it’s going to be either chaos, incompetence or misery; the upcoming match will not be remotely normal.

You don’t even have to specify why the lobby is bad; everyone who’s played enough would get it. Typing out “>lobby” unites everyone in a shared fatigue.

Used to detach personal accountability for whatever catastrophe is about to unfold. As in the ones who type “>lobby” are different from the rest: “it’s on the lobby, not on us.”.

After recognizing multiple 0.8 K/D shitcans on your team with 2,000-hour playtime:
> “>lobby”
Matchmaking pairs you against a full premade clan called KSA:
> “>lobby”
You see a Swastika, Trans flag, Furry, Brony & Anime pfp - ALL ON THE SAME TEAM:
> “>lobby”

switch lobby

The lobby you get when you load up fortnite and queue with your friend who is playing on switch. The opps are basically paralyzed in the hands and use their toes to play.

These lobbies leave you questioning if you're playing in a lobby full of AI or 6 year olds.

Sweet, David is on. We can dog some kids in a switch lobby!

*drops a 20 kill game* God bless you David, you always put us in switch lobbies against these poverty players.

Bro, these switch lobbies have me feeling like I'm facing dhruv in every fight...
