奶妈 (nǎi mā)

ETYMOLOGY

From Wet Nurse to eSports TerminologyWhen League of Legends launched in China (2012), players humorously called the healer Soraka Naima. This metaphor brilliantly captured healers' team-sustaining role:

Healing spells are called 'feeding milk'Global ultimates become 'breastmilk airdrops'Dead healers often receive 'Mom love me again' complaintsAfter Honor of Kings went viral in 2015, Naima became standardized gaming jargon. Tencent's data shows healers in high-tier matches have 22% higher teamfight participation than DPS roles, but only 8% MVP rate - mirroring the cultural image of unsung caregivers.

Example: 'Naima stop chasing kills! Come heal me!' - Typical voice chat in Honor of Kings Diamond tier
