What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ GAMING ][ NOUN ]
A player who constantly switches characters, builds, or strategies to always be playing whatever is currently considered strongest, with no attachment to any particular playstyle.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He's a total meta chaser, drops his main the second a new patch makes something else stronger."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named for players who treat the current patch meta as the sole deciding factor in what to play, dropping anything the moment it stops being top-tier rather than sticking with what they enjoy.
