immuniseksi

Immuniski is a term that emerged in the early 21st century, primarily within online gaming communities, particularly those centered around *Team Fortress 2* (TF2). The concept originated as a humorous and self-deprecating reference to players who relied heavily on the game’s "Immunity" perk, which grants temporary invulnerability after taking damage. Over time, the term evolved to describe a broader phenomenon of players who prioritize passive or defensive strategies over active engagement, often due to frustration, skill gaps, or a lack of confidence in combat.

The term gained traction as a shorthand for players who frequently use perks like Immunity, "Immunized," or other defensive utilities to avoid direct confrontation. Critics argue that such playstyles undermine team dynamics by reducing pressure on teammates or enabling a "snowballing" effect where one player dominates without contributing offensively. Supporters, however, view it as a valid adaptation to the game’s mechanics, emphasizing survival and risk management.

Beyond *Team Fortress 2*, the term has been loosely applied to other games or contexts where players adopt overly defensive or passive behaviors, often as a coping mechanism for perceived unfairness or complexity. The concept reflects broader discussions in gaming about skill progression, community culture, and the balance between strategy and frustration. While initially used pejoratively, the term has since been reclaimed by some players as a lighthearted acknowledgment of their playstyle.
