Roster Shank: A New Term

So I was playing 1v1 on "For Glory" mode today. I was fighting this guy, (think his name was Chris or something) and I started to notice something about three rounds in. After every round, I would change my character, and so would he, but he would change his character to the same one I had just used in the last fight and proceed to kick my butt with that character. This was a rather humiliating tactic, though not really bending the rules in any way. I'd like to call this sort of thing "Roster Shanking" which comes from my experiences playing TF2, when a spy would come, stab me in the back, and assume my identity. Thoughts?

Hm... I admit, that's happened to me before, but I never thought it was a huge problem. Still, I like the term.
