w-keying
What does w-keying mean?
W is forward on PC, so w-keying means you only ever move toward the fight. Pure forward momentum, never backing off. Can be a compliment for relentless aggression or a roast for someone who runs it down mindlessly.
"He's just w-keying into a full squad, no way that ends well."
Origin
From the 'W' key being the default 'move forward' bind in PC FPS games.
Frequently asked questions
Is w-keying the same as aping?
Close, but aping is about pushing a fight aggressively; w-keying is the raw, no-brakes version of it, mashing forward into everyone you see.
