General DiscussionOrigin of your ign or username

ign?

Mine is because I main Riki, and I'm always invisible so I'm a phantom.

^ingame name captain

my last name is Sampson so I called myself Sampson

I got aluminium when my lol-player friend was fucking me in de ass

I actually hate salsa and I spat it out when I first ate it.

When I needed a wii name, my 8 year old cousin said "hotsalsa" and then replaced the s with a z because he thought it sounded cooler. So I went with it and it's too late to go back now

My Cousin played MGS3 and named his username Thunderbolt, i did next best thing

when i was 12 years old i loved rurouni kenshin thats it i guess now im stuck with an anime name Xd

ten year old me" Lion are awesome animals, ninjas are pretty sweet, and i liked to play warlock classes when it was available." And thus, after several revisions, lioninjawarloc was born

My nick is because I was feeling blue and need some cheery name.

I swear at noobs and tell them exactly why they should uninstall

^normal skill, 43% winrate "professional"

Sort version, I was the captain of a few Ultimate teams and I have dreads. The full story is only marginally more interesting that that.

i feel like i am a bird trapped inside a mans body, i will undergo surgery next month too

PLutO is a PLANET, guys. Don't forget.

As for my ign, I got it off a meme that goes

-me in 50 years-

Kid: hey grandpa, i found this in the attic. What is this? (Holds dota 2 logo)
Grandpa: sit down you lil f*gg*t.
I'm gonna tell you a great story. *teary eyed*

Ps. Censorship just struck

Mine's changed a few times but last two were Timberwolf and now Dire Wolf with corresponding mechwarrior avatars. Both are the clan names of these mechs. I don't know a lot about the lore outside of the video games, but the clanners are a group of fierce warriors kinda like rebels against the inner sphere and always have the coolest mechs! Timberwolf and Dire Wolf are what they themselves call them, the inner sphere calls them Mad Cat and Daishi, but those aren't nearly as cool.

I just like to reference video games of my youth.

I was lazy and wanted something easy to remember and pronounce. Also loved Rurouni Kenshin, but Z's are cooler.

I wanted something unique that no one had or had heard before so I played around with lettering and the way it sounded until I came up with it.

It's my street name.

mine's changed alot but the one i used the most was YMSmash, YM being my initial and smash cuz of smash bros

but for my current ign? nah, just a normal meme

I called myself Goethe because every other name was shit for my personality

I played Mortal Komat 9 on Playstation Network 5 years ago or smthg, and somehow created this name. Maybe I will change someday to something way cool from dictionary, but naw...

Mine is Aimstrong because I wanted to put a reminder in my nickname to aim good in Counter Strike. And after 1000h of cs my aim git gud but sadly I don't play this game anymore

some guy in a shitty pub game called me riski the risky riki and it was catchy so.

In Injustice Mobile when I first open gold booster pack I got INSURGENCY The Joker so I name myself The Joker

Limitedmoon: <- Final weapon of Red XIII in final fantasy 7

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMpYQCd9z3Q <------- this masterpeice inspired my ign ROAD TO 6k

Mine is because some of my favorite (Indonesian) foods such as gado- gado or satay (they're damn delicious, search it) used peanut sauce

I try to embrace my inner weeb

I LOVE CATS SO MUCH

my ign's are so well built that i envy you guys .
my first ign was "riouds" because when i was playing adventure quest(my first "online" game) i needed a user that was not in use(as any other account creation procedure) so i just smashed my hands o the keyboard and boom, there it is my ign.
as for my current ign, it comes from my need to have a new username in the dotes and i was without any ideas(as usual) but it comes from this epic video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SYNbR-mvfU

Cause I give 'em the 'ol Razzle Dazzle and my initials are RM

Long live starcraft forever lmao

I dunno actually, I just wanted something that sounded easy to say, but at the same time looked good on kill feeds.

For example, I like when I could play a FPS game, and see it say

YorKeY fragged (insert name)
YorKeY fragged (insert name)
YorKeY fragged (insert name)

So whenever I played CSGO and I was just shitting on people with the sniper, or CoD, i'd have my name just running down the page, and thought it looked sick in alternate caps. But as to how I made the name, I just thought something like Fluxy, Furion, LoNeY, or anything that sounds pro would be a nice name, but then searched the internet, and realized many of those names were taken by well known players, so i needed something original, something that you can't just search on google, and get tons of results for, the name Yorkey hit me, then boom.

Only problem is , everyone ask me " hey do you own a yorkie puppy or something ? Is that why you named yourself that? " Literally all the time, and the funny part is, I ACTUALLY DO OWN A YORKIE DOG NOW, but notice how it's spelt differently, it honestly has nothing to do with my dog Hailey.

Just my general feeling towards enemies in dotes :]

I'm not Russian.

im shouting what i want to pick
