Lotus Orb is an item in Dota 2, Valve's popular multiplayer battle arena game, designed to reflect most targeted spells and debuffs back onto their caster. The activation sound has become shorthand among Dota players for a perfectly timed counter, because hearing it usually means an aggressive play has just backfired. As Dota clips and streams spread on video platforms, the short chime began circulating on soundboards for use outside matches too, where it now signals any clever reversal, comeback or unexpected twist in an edit.
