I suggest a new term related to all this DDoS "Fun time"

I am actually surprised that there is not a proper term for this yet, but in light of all the bullcrap related to shaky servers and DDoS attacks I purpose a new term for the online gamer lexicon.

"DDoS Lottery"

To refer to a game won or loss due to DDoS or other external internet issues rather than proper skill.

For example "I won the DDoS lottery last game." (which actually happened for me just now)

As to say that your team won because your team either was unaffected or recovered quicker than the enemy team from the DDoS attack.

Now this term probably would only be useful for solo queue ranked systems, but with the rise of MOBA style games I think it will become more relevant as ranked systems take off.

So how about it guys? "DDoS Lottery" conveys the intended meaning of won purely through chance and refers to the triggering event. So let's give it a whirl in our lexicon of derpy words.

Well that is unless you guys have a better suggestion. :)

(I realized I typed DoS instead of DDoS, this has been corrected...I cannot seem to alter the title again.)
