Gaming
all-in
What does all-in mean?
You blow every ability, summoner spell and cooldown to kill the target. No holding back, no escape plan. Either they die or you do. Win the all-in and you snowball; lose it and you're walking back from base.
"Level 6 he's got ult up, this is a full all-in, flash in and kill him."
Origin
Borrowed from poker, where going 'all-in' bets every chip you have.
