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

/Sounds like the English word "nerf" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

To weaken a character, weapon, or ability in a video game through a developer update. When the devs decide your main was too broken and make them useless from one patch to the next.

Examples

They nerfed my favorite character and now he's useless.

If they nerf him again I'm quitting.
