Someone who advocates for or carries out nerfs — either a developer implementing balance changes or a player who constantly lobbies for powerful things to be weakened, often because those things are being used against them. The nerfer is a controversial figure in gaming communities: seen as a necessary voice for balance by some, and as a crybaby ruining the fun by others. Usually has strong opinions about what's 'broken' and will tell you about it unprompted.
He's a known nerfer — the moment a new weapon drops and people figure out the cheese, he's already posting balance complaints.
