What Does This Mean?
Spanish slang insult for a person who is very bad at something, and in gaming for a very unskilled player, often thrown at a teammate who keeps failing. It is a derogatory label, usually used jokingly among friends or in frustration during a match. This entry covers that slang sense; "paquete" in standard Spanish mainly means a parcel or package.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""Eres un paquete, otra vez nos mataron," said the player to his teammate after the lost round."
LORE & ORIGIN
Spanish Wiktionary lists, among the senses of "paquete", a person who does something very badly, and a clumsy boxer, the latter marked as colloquial and Argentine. The gaming use is attested here only through that general sense of a person who does something very badly, and no source consulted dates its spread in video games. The existing entries "manco" and "noob" cover similar skill-based insults; "paquete" is a figurative extension of a common noun rather than a loanword.
