op
What does op mean?
Valorant's answer to the AWP. Costs a fortune, scopes in, and bodies anyone in one shot. Slow to handle, but an OPer holding a long angle can lock down a whole site by themselves.
"He's holding the OP on long, don't peek it solo, we flash first."
Origin
A forum staple from the bulletin-board era meaning 'original poster.' The unrelated gaming sense of 'overpowered' grew separately out of competitive gaming culture.
