Defined-contribution plans

Defined-contribution (DC) retirement plans allow employees to invest pre-tax dollars in the capital markets where they can grow tax-deferred until retirement.

Simpler Explained: A defined contribution plan is a common workplace retirement plan in which an employee contributes money and the employer typically makes a matching contribution

Essentially, they are retirement plans that companies may offer as a benefit in which you, your employer or both make contributions on a regular basis.
The most common examples of defined-contribution plans are the 401(k) and the 403(b).

The Devin Effect

The Devin Effect is a term used in the League of Legends community given to a specific circumstance in which a game can be lost due to a disproportional amount of kills given to one player. Although a team can technically be ahead in kills, if the majority of the kills have been given to one specific champion, they will ultimately lose the game for the rest of the team due to the lack of spreading of gold, kills, assists, and resources. If said champion were to die during a team fight, the rest of the team would stand no chance against the opposing team.
Devin got all the kills during the first half of the game, so the rest of us were left at level 12 without upgraded boots and I began to reverse snowball. We lost the game because of the Devin Effect.
