Can you idiots stop describing every fast kill/death as "One-Shot"

PSA: if you were at full health & not many levels behind your opponent there's a 9.9/10 chance that you were not "one-shot".

Look at your death recap. Is there more than one ability source of damage
There was an auto attack, an ability and another ability: You did not get "One-Shot"

Healthcare professionals should be seriously concerned over LoL causing a specific kind of brain damage that makes it difficult to count beyond one. We need to raise awareness.

It used to be that a "One-Shot Combo" was called a "100-0" (One hundred to zero), as it's commonly called in fighting games. However, since it's nigh-impossible to actually kill someone in a singular attack In league, any extremely fast, hard burst that results in death is called a "One-Shot." The card game equivalent would be getting hit for all your health at once (one-shot) or getting hit by a card combination that resulted in death by the end of the turn (OTK--One Turn Kill.)

The results are the same, only the terms are a little more nuanced.

You're just overreacting. It's not that big of a deal... Like I feel ya, I've even thought the same thing before. but you lost me at "Healthcare professionals should be seriously concerned over LoL causing a specific kind of brain damage that makes it difficult to count beyond one. We need to raise awareness." I think you just need to relax and realize that all these people mean is that they got completely owned which is close enough to 'one-shot' once it comes to making sense. Calling these people idiots and stuff? 'Oneshot combos' are a thing, so jokes on you

Buddy I recommend that you check in for some counseling before you hurt yourself with whatever is going on inside that head of yours. your parents can help you with that if you ask.

So what do you call 1017 damage in .68 seconds from every assassin?

Khazix CAN legitimately one shot a squishy with Duskblade,I saw it for myself in a match this week lol

I've seen Khazix just leap onto a squishy and instantly kill them in less than a second with one AA. That was at least 2000 damage in such a super short time.

I hate how 90% of recent league youtube videos are "WTF FULL LETHALITY (enter champion name here) IS BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE SHOTS ANYONE NEW META WTF RIOT NERF HIM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and then it's a full combo that deletes someone. And now kids think that is what one shot means instead of using common sense and understand what the "one" in oneshot stands for
