Skill Issue

"Skill Issue" is a phrase or term often used and inserted into conversations regarding video games or other media. The phrase is used to deem a failure or other similar scenario where the player is not successful and they proceed to blame it on the factors of the game or their opponents, when it is in fact, their fault. It can be used both as a genuine criticism of someone's skill, or ironically when it is in fact a factor completely out of their control to serve as a joke. It can also be used in real-life scenarios or other forms of non-video game media, where it is used as a video game related substitute to make a statement ironically or humorously.

Scenario 1: Genuinely

Person 1: Dude, how did I die there? That guy's got to be hacking! That's unfair
Person 2: I dunno, seems like a skill issue.
Scenario 2: Sarcastically/Ironically
Person 1: What? My internet just went out and I got disconnected! That sucks!
Person 2: (Sarcastically) Skill Issue.
Scenario 3: Unrelated to game
Person 1: Wow, I did not expect Iron Man to die at the end of Avengers: Endgame.
Person 2: (Mockingly) Iron Man had a Skill Issue, just don't die, LOL.

Skill Issue :troll:

A generally meaningless insult following a troll-face emoji, or a different emoji used most commonly for flamebait. Used by children (or those who have the mental capacity of children) who just can't come up with anything original or clever. Almost always about as unfunny as choppy gifs with captions that make no sense, these generic breeds of dumbasses are typically found in public Discord servers about combat-related games where people often share their thoughts on certain aspects of the game.

P1: "Doesn't this seem a little too overpowered?"
P2: "skill issue :troll:"
P1: "originality issue"
