spawn-kill

Death upon arrival

Spawn-kill is a gaming term for killing an opponent immediately after they respawn, before they can react or defend themselves.

The tactic exploits predictable spawn points and is generally considered unsportsmanlike: He kept spawn-killing me until I rage-quit.

Also appears as a verb: Stop spawn-killing, it's cheap.
