Pretty sure no one created it. I'm sure when people threw smoke for the first time they thought it would work well with vortex. If that combo is noobie then using any super is noobie

  • He meant that kjhovey coined the term 'wombo combo' to describe throwing a smoke bomb and a grenade at the same time.

  • OK. But I know when I first unlocked smoke I thought to myself " this would pair well with vortex." I called it chooga cachooga [spoiler]I can say dumb shit too.[/spoiler]

    No. Wombo Combo is a term from smash. It came from a doubles match where Zhu got zero to death'd by a team combo and became a meme because of the commentators trash talk. It now means "getting utterly rap[b][/b]ed in a short span of time" https://youtu.be/pD_imYhNoQ4

  • Which is besides the point, I'm not saying he came up with it originally, just that he associated it to throwing a smoke bomb + grenade at the same time [b]in Destiny[/b]. Doesn't really matter where it actually came from.

  • He was referencing it because how fast the guy got ra[b][/b]ped by the smoke+vortex. Nothing to do with the actual combination of smoke+vortex itself. I just want to get it clear because its a pet peeve of mine when people think that term came from destiny.

  • He says it all the time, wasn't just a one time thing. But yeah, it definitely wasn't conceived because of Destiny, he just took it from somewhere else and applied it to Destiny.

    He's a fan of smash. I was on his stream when he got 5-0d and i said in the chat "My B" which is another smash meme and he recognized it lol
