Add common gaming terms

[kevina]

These are all common enough to add, especially for a gaming- or esports-adjacent spell-checker.

Term	Commonality	Add?	Suggested dictionary forms
MOBA	Very high	Yes	MOBA, MOBAs, optionally moba, mobas
gank	Very high in MOBAs/MMOs/esports	Yes	gank, ganks, ganked, ganking, ganker, gankers
laning	High in MOBAs	Yes	lane, lanes, laning, laner, laners
inting	High in competitive multiplayer, especially League-like communities	Yes, but slangy	int, ints, inted, inting, inter, inters

MOBA is well established as a genre term; major dictionaries define it as “multiplayer online battle arena.” ([Dictionary.com]1) Gank/ganking is also well established across MOBA terminology sources and broader esports glossaries, generally meaning a surprise or coordinated attack on an opponent. ([dota2.fandom.com]2) Laning/laner is core MOBA vocabulary because lanes are a defining part of the genre’s map structure. ([Wikipedia]3) Inting is newer and more slang-like, but widely understood in competitive multiplayer as short for “intentional feeding,” often broadened in casual use to mean playing very badly. ([Reddit]4)

Other well-established gaming terms worth adding:

Term	Suggested forms	Notes
aggro	aggro, aggroed, aggroing	Very established in RPGs/MMOs and general gaming; Merriam-Webster includes it in its gaming terms explainer. (Merriam-Webster)
AoE	AoE, AOE, aoe	“Area of effect”; very common across RPGs, MOBAs, shooters, strategy games. ([PCGamesN]6)
cooldown	cooldown, cooldowns	Common enough that some dictionaries may already accept it, but worth checking.
DPS	DPS	Damage per second; also used as a role/class type.
DoT	DoT, DOT	Damage over time.
CC	CC	Crowd control; especially common in MOBAs/MMOs.
PvP	PvP, PVP	Player versus player.

last-hit	last-hit, last-hits, last-hitting	Very common in MOBAs, but hyphenation varies.
farm	farm, farmed, farming	Already standard English, but gaming sense is widespread.

Summary

60 — Signature

MOBA — 60, not borderline, Signature.
Major gaming-genre abbreviation with broad esports/consumer visibility; users would reasonably expect it in gaming writing. Merriam-Webster’s gaming glossary cites MOBA alongside FPS and MMORPG in mainstream/academic-style prose. ([Merriam-Webster]1)

nerf — 60, not borderline, Signature.
High-impact gaming term, both noun and verb; common in mainstream gaming coverage and user-facing patch discussion. Merriam-Webster explicitly defines gaming nerf as both noun and verb. ([Merriam-Webster]1)

60 — Extra

aggro — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Common gaming noun and verb for enemy attention/hostility; broad enough within gaming that spell-check support is expected. Merriam-Webster includes aggro in popular gaming terms. ([Merriam-Webster]1)

AoE — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Canonical mixed-case abbreviation for “area of effect”; common in game ability descriptions and gaming prose. Merriam-Webster lists AoE as a gaming abbreviation. ([Merriam-Webster]1)

buff — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Gaming noun and verb for strengthening a character/ability/item; also supported by the common ordinary word, so spell-check inclusion is low-risk.

cooldown — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Common gaming and broader technical noun for a waiting/recovery period; plural is normal.

DoT — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Canonical gaming abbreviation for “damage over time”; common in build guides, patch notes, and gaming prose.

DPS — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Common gaming abbreviation for “damage per second” and also a player/combat role; Merriam-Webster lists it in gaming terms. ([Merriam-Webster]1)

gank — 60, borderline: 60/70 → 60, Extra.
Still gaming/slang-domain, but common and stable enough in online game discussion; included at 60 because affected users would expect support. Agent noun ganker is kept at 70.

hitbox — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Common gaming/game-development noun; plural hitboxes is standard.

MMO — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Common abbreviation for massively multiplayer online game; count-noun plural MMOs is common.

MMORPG — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Common gaming-genre abbreviation; plural MMORPGs is standard. Merriam-Webster’s gaming glossary foregrounds MMORPGs. ([Merriam-Webster]1)

PvE — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Canonical mixed-case abbreviation for player-versus-environment gameplay; common in game descriptions. Merriam-Webster lists PvE/PvP as gameplay-mode abbreviations. ([Merriam-Webster]1)

PvP — 60, not borderline, Extra.
Canonical mixed-case abbreviation for player-versus-player gameplay; common in game descriptions. Merriam-Webster lists PvE/PvP as gameplay-mode abbreviations. ([Merriam-Webster]1)

70 — Extra

ganker — 70, not borderline, Extra.
Natural agent noun from gank, but less broadly used than the base verb/noun.

jungler — 70, not borderline, Extra.
MOBA role noun; stable and expected in gaming writing, but specialized.

jungling — 70, not borderline, Extra.
MOBA role/activity noun; stable but specialized.

laner — 70, not borderline, Extra.
MOBA role noun; stable but specialized.

laning — 70, not borderline, Extra.
MOBA phase/activity noun; stable but specialized.

minimap — 70, borderline: 60/70 → 70, Extra.
Common gaming UI term, but still domain-specific enough for the larger list. Closed form is preferred; no hyphenated variant encoded here.

proc — 70, not borderline, Extra.
Stable gaming/RPG noun and verb; specialized jargon but common among domain users. Verb spelling uses procced/proccing.

skillshot — 70, not borderline, Extra.
Stable MOBA/action-game noun. Closed form is preferred; open skill shot is encoded as an acceptable variant.

ult — 70, borderline: 70/80 → 70, Extra.
Shortened form of “ultimate” as noun and verb; stable in gaming prose, though short-form typo risk keeps it out of 60.

80 — Extra

int — 80, borderline: 70/80 → 80, Extra.
Gaming verb/noun for intentionally feeding/throwing; real and stable in MOBA discussion, but very short, informal, and typo-/collision-prone.

inter — 80, borderline: 70/80 → 80, Extra.
Gaming agent noun “one who ints”; valid within the domain but narrow and collision-prone with other uses of inter.
