Are the casters avoiding the term "One-Shot?"
I've heard the casters say over and over again, a "100 to 0 play."
Is it just me, or are they deliberately avoiding calling a single rotation kill, a "one-shot?"
Which imo is a more apt descriptor

"One-shot" has lost all meaning
Someone gets ganked by 3 people "Wtf he just oneshot me"
Someone is at 1/3 hp, hit by spell and dies "Wow [that ability] just oneshot me"
One-shots are basically impossible. A 100 to 0 means killing a target while the target is CCed (or it happens so fast there was no time to react). Killing someone in one rotation is just killing someone in one rotation.
I mean just saying HE GOT ONE SHOTTED, is kinda bland compared to OMG HE JUST 100 TO 0'D SNEAKY.. its probably more of a magnitude word kinda thing
actually, 100 to 0 is more accurate in the majority of situations. there are only a few champions that could LITERALLY kill you with a single instance of damage (and do so regularly)
almost every near-instant kill by a champion other than these is a full rotation
It's pretty obvious that they are.
Why is that funny to me.
Avoiding, as in, told not to use it? No.
Avoiding, as in, there are better terms to use over it? Yes.
To be one-shot literally doesn't say much as people misuse the term all the time. One-shot should mean that you were at full health and got hit by a single ability and are killed. In all reality, this doesn't happen.
Most people get hit by a full kit rotation in order to get killed or even close to it.
