What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ GAMING ][ VERB ]
Getting beaten specifically because of a clear skill gap ('the diff') rather than bad luck or a fluke, used as the verb form of crediting or blaming that gap for deciding a match — distinct from the noun 'Diff,' which names the gap itself.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He didn't just lose the 1v1, he got fully diffed, wasn't close at any point."
LORE & ORIGIN
Grew directly out of the existing noun 'diff' (the skill gap that decides a match), turned into a verb once players started saying someone specifically 'got diffed' rather than just losing.
