...or "Sniping" as it should really be called.
For reasons best known only to themselves, there is a substantial, vocal contingent of gamers who appear to have a HUGE problem with the perfectly valid, tactically sound, and all-round brilliant strategy of hiding in a bush for the majority of an online match in shooters like Call of Duty and Fortnite.
This commendable tactic requires both skill and - most importantly - patience to master, as it can involve literal minutes at a time of sitting there, controller in hand, doing absolutely nothing - you don't even need to be holding the controller, to be fair.
Professional, God-tier camp...sorry "snipers", are sometimes even able to go and make a cup of tea and a sandwich, then come back and resume their high-intensity sitting as if they'd never left the room in the first place.
Truly impressive stuff.
