initiation
What does initiation mean?
Someone has to throw the first punch. Initiation is the blink-in, the chain-stun, the catch that locks an enemy down so the team can pile on. Good initiation wins fights before they start; bad initiation feeds you 1v5.
""Wait for my initiation — I blink the stun, then everyone dumps.""
Origin
Dota 2 / MOBA; from a hero 'initiating' an engagement.
