      I was always really good in games like overwatch. I’m not super competitive in general, but i climbed to masters a few times when i tried. I played a bit of marvel rivals too and it was the same. Then i started playing Deadlock, and i think i’m just fine with forever silver there.

    More like:

    “You have 4000 hours in this game. You must really like it!”

    “Not really.”

    That’s me with Factorio. I don’t really like crack anymore, I just have to do it a bunch now or I get the shakes.

    yes I have 3000 hours in game but I also have another 4000 hours in a third party build planning software, searching a database and a wiki, and watching Youtube videos to understand mechanics and builds.

    no I’m still not very good.

    In every competitive game I’ve played, I’m at best above average by their ranks. Whatever their choice of names, I can only go above the one in the middle.

    Those micro precise mouse movements they do, perfectly timed keyboard taps or amazingly accurate controller turns are completely beyond me.
    And I’m ok with that, because I report them all for cheating anyway.

    Up until a few weeks ago, I played overwatch almost daily since overwatch 1 launch. I struggle to stay in platinum ranks. I can shot call and coach better than play it.

    This is me in Path of Titans. I have 100+ hours and have yet to get a single PVP kill. There is a big skill delta; many players have been playing for years and I am just rubbish at playing with joysticks.

    I spent almost 2 years playing valorant because that was the only modern game which worked on my PC but damm I never even crossed Diamond it was i guess or maybe Gold I dont remember. I understood that competitive gaming is not for me. No rank pushing and all can be done by me. Switched to story mode game like Far Cry1 or 2, i dont remember but used to get nausea while playing for around 10-20 mins after that i just completely stopped playing games.
