Renoob 

When you're good at something, then you go for an extended period of time NOT doing it. You lose your touch, and suck at it again. This is being a renoob.

You can also refer to it as describing someone else renoobed, or renoobified.

According to the definition of noob, the word can also be used as 'renewb' , 'renewbie' and 'renewbified'.

"Man, I used to play pool all the time - but after 7 months of not playing, I've become a renoob."

Descriptive:

"He used to be so damn good at Halo, but now he's a renoob!"

"Man, he used to be so good at pool - but now he has renoobified."

or

"Man, he used to be so good at pool - but now he renoobed."

Renoob 

The act of losing all your skills that the individual once had in a particular sphere or activity, especially computing or gaming after a long absence.

The past tense version "Renoobed" will be used more rather than "renoob".

Mike was the best at Mario Kart, but since he returned after a hiatus he has been renoobed.

Tom what happened? You were a top player you have been renoobed.
