Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the English word "flam" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AH" (as in "art") + "doh" (as in "door")/

Meaning

Getting insulted or aggressively criticized by your own teammates in the game chat. Being flamed destroys morale and makes you play even worse.

Examples

They flamed me the entire match over one mistake I made.

If they flame me I just mute everyone and play in peace.
