gem
What does gem mean?
An item you carry that reveals invisible heroes and wards around you, no expiry, no cooldown. The catch: drop dead and you drop the gem, so the enemy can snatch it. Carrying gem makes you a target.
""Their Riki's useless now, we've got gem on the carry — he can't gank a thing.""
Origin
Dota 2, short for the in-game item 'Gem of True Sight'.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if you die holding the gem?
It drops on the ground and the enemy can pick it up. That's why nobody wants to carry it into a fight they might lose.
