balance

The glorious opposite of a nerf. A buff makes your character suddenly feel like they hit the gym, the protein powder, and maybe a small illegal spellbook.

“Yo, they buffed the shotgun—it’s cracked now.”

When devs weaken something you loved so hard it becomes a sad shell of its former glory. Usually followed by collective whining, memes, and patch-note breakdowns.

“Bro they nerfed my main into the dirt.”
