Learn the real words Taiwan players use for 英雄聯盟 yīng xióng lián méng — League of Legends — from lanes and objectives to team calls, pings, and spicy trash talk that will not get you instantly muted by the yak council.
Taiwan players mix English abbreviations, Mandarin words, and very compact chat slang. You will see 中路 zhōng lù, JG, 開龍 kāi lóng, 別送 bié sòng, and five other things flying across chat while someone is pinging like a caffeinated pigeon.
This guide teaches Traditional Chinese terms with pinyin and real examples, so you can understand teammates, make calls, and politely roast enemies after they dive your tower for absolutely no reason.

Trash talk in Taiwan gaming chat is often playful, short, and sarcastic. Keep it about the play, not the person. 這波很醜 zhè bō hěn chǒu — “that play was ugly” — is game talk. Personal attacks are just free cringe with extra steps.

- 打 dǎ can mean “play,” “fight,” or “take an objective,” depending on context: 打野 dǎ yě, 打龍 dǎ lóng, 打會戰 dǎ huì zhàn.
- 開 kāi often means “start” or “engage,” like 開戰 kāi zhàn or 開巴龍 kāi bā lóng.
- 送 sòng means “feed” in game slang. 別送 bié sòng is short, useful, and only slightly judgmental. A perfect gamer sentence, really.
Final Yak Box
To sound natural in Taiwan LoL chat, keep calls short: 小心 xiǎo xīn, 別開 bié kāi, 打龍 dǎ lóng, 等我 děng wǒ, 他沒閃 tā méi shǎn. Long grammar is for essays. League chat is where punctuation goes to faint dramatically.
