hero buy

What does hero buy mean?

The team's saving, but one player drops cash on a rifle anyway, hoping to win the round solo or at least bank a few frags. Sometimes it's a galaxy-brain play. Usually it just wastes money and tanks the team economy. Mostly used as a roast.

"Why'd you hero buy? We were all saving, now you're broke and dead."

Origin

Counter-Strike. The lone 'hero' who buys against the team plan.
