	The Leeroy Jenkins [[meme]] began with a [[World of Warcraft]] fan-made video that was intended to mock overly complicated plans and "overthinkers". Said video was a re-enactment of a famous run on one of the Blackrock dungeons. One of the rooms in the dungeons is filled with dragon eggs; if you walk too close to them, the eggs hatch, and the baby dragons will cause other eggs to hatch if you aren't careful, so the fight is about moving very carefully around and dealing with small groups of opponents at a time so you don't end up drowning in dozens of baby dragons. Well, on one fateful day a group came through that didn't really want to fight dragons, so the leader painstakingly explained a procedure to sneak around the edges and avoid the fight. One group member however, ''really'' wanted to kill some dragons. So, promptly ignoring the leader's strategy, he took off across the room with a great cry of "LEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOY" into the team chat, [[fail\|causing every single dragon egg to hatch]].

	Despite the given context of mocking overthinkers, the video's protagonist has been adopted as the villain on /v/ and /tg/ simply because that particular flavor of blindly aggressive player is well known in both circles as one of the most common and ''annoying'' branches of [[That Guy]]'s family tree. A particularly annoying variant will actually pick fights needlessly just for the sake of having someone to fight, usually because the player finds planning, talking, etc to be "boring".
