UP

What does UP stand for in gaming?

Underpowered

Gamers use UP when discussing items, skills, and characters that are "underpowered." In relation to other game elements, UP elements are weak and ineffective. Thus, players tend to avoid them when possible.

While gamers don't use UP as often as its opposite, OP, you may still encounter UP in gaming chat and forums. For example, a League of Legends player discussing their favorite champion may post "Yeah, Twisted Fate is UP, but I really like playing as him."

Example

The Star Empire is so UP in Star Realms
Really? I always win with them
League of Legends players discussing whether a specific champion is UP
