Get the Imba.mug. Imba is used mostly in online games or games that have patches or different versions. Imba means that something is imbalanced and should be "nerfed" or made worse. When something is imba it means that is is too good and it makes the game unfair.
Richard: I'm not surprised you killed me Steasl Assasin is so imba.
Tod: Yeah they should nerf him in the next version he's to good.

Get the imbamug. An abbreviation for "imbalanced"
Imba can be applied to a subject in gaming (Weapon, army, race, role or job) which can be either too strong (Overpowered, or OP) or too weak (Underpowered, or UP).
Although the word IMBA can be applied to both OP and UP, it is mostly used to describe an in-game subject which is too strong.
A good example for imba is the job hunter in Ragnarok Online.

Get the Imbanessmug. A gaming lingo.
imba (short for imbalanced) is derived from Strategy games (e.g. Warcraft) or MMOs. It is usually used to describe when a player or a character gets way too powerful to defeat that it becomes unfair/impossible for the opponents to play against him. Which results in everybody (mostly the opponents) to give up. Almost invincible. It is mostly used as a praise rather than a complain.
When not used in context to a game, it means elite, awesome, the best or unbeatable.
