What Does This Mean?
Term used unchanged by Brazilian players for picking a character as soon as selection opens, before teammates have spoken or considered the team composition, as in "ele deu instalock no Jett". It is often criticised as inconsiderate, although some players treat it as a sign of confidence in a chosen role.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""Ele deu instalock antes de qualquer um falar", reclamou o jogador."
LORE & ORIGIN
From English "instalock", built from insta- and lock. English Wiktionary defines it as picking a character in a multiplayer game as soon as selection begins, and notes that it is often used critically. The pages opened for this entry do not document Brazilian use specifically, and no dated first use in Portuguese is documented.
