What ruined online gaming for me is that it is not about having fun anymore. It is all revolving around chasing the lastest meta.

just stop playing into the meta trash, you think its required until you develop your own pool and if the game isnt trash it will allow for players to find their own workable if not better than meta char/play/comps

Yeah 4-5 years ago, I'd pretty much all but given up on MP gaming, on the rare opportunity I was able to get "the boys" all coordinated for a few hours that no one is working, taking care of their kids or doing chores, we'd try to play something like CSGO and just get dominated by 12 year olds that have infinitely more freetime, to the point it's just not fun. So I switched almost exclusively to SP games for years. The only recent exception has been Helldivers 2, because I'm not competing "against" the other players, and my friends and family seem way more encouraged to make time when the stakes are low and getting dunked on by teenagers isn't a virtual certainty.

This is what happened with Street Fighter 2 in the arcades in the early 90s. Lots of people wanted to try it at first, but the top 5% or 10% of players played it so much and got so good at it, new players stopped even trying to play because they'd hate to wake in line to play just to lose in 10 seconds to the pro that just new all the combos and could end you in 3 moves without you getting a hit in.

I genuinely don't get why this stopped being a thing in multiplayer games. When I played COD on the Xbox 360 in high school, I'd stay in the same lobbies for hours, forming friendships and rivalries and just generally having a good time. Now, lobbies automatically disband after the match is over, so unless you friend request all those people, you'll never see them again.

@@Jaime_Protein_Cannister They're talking about making friends, not sticking to friends they already have. Also back then many people didn't play video games, let alone competitive ones, so there was a good chance that none of a gamer's friends played the same games. I can't tell if you're trolling or actually low-iq, but on average most people have a similar level of skill, so no, he probably didn't choose to play w/ the same people due to a lack of skill. You can deny all you want but matchmaking did kill the old "choose-your-server/lobby/room" experience, at least in the AAA world.

I think the thing that kept games pretty level back in the day was that the skill gap was essentially limited to how good your aim was and your left, right and jump movement. (Think Halo 2/3) Now there are all these fancy mechanics like slide, sprint, clamber, lean, etc. Games should have casual playlists that limit all the extra stuff you can do and bring it back to the basics then add all the extra to ranked.

Gaming has definitely gotten a lot more competitive or "tryhard" over time, though. I think Twitch and Esports popularity has pushed that along since a lot of people want to be pro or "famous" gamers/streamers and I feel that games definitely used to be a lot more about just playing them when I was a lot younger. You always had that competitive community there, but it feels like that is the majority of players these days. There's also a lot more information online about games that is easy to find, especially with KZbin being what it is and tons of websites dedicated to theorycrafting, builds, or whatever else and that easy access to information will only bring the average skill level up. When I started playing WoW as a kid, I pretty much remember thottbot and that was about it. If you've played WoW since the start, I think you can see a clear evolution of how people used to play games and the direction it headed in afterwards, because it didn't just apply to WoW, but to games as a whole. I might seem like some old boomer ranting, but I've also been through that phase when I was sweating WoW PvP every day with no job back in Cata until BFA so I understand it.

Uh you do know the majority of people don't watch streamers right? Also, strategy guides were a thing way before streaming was really that popular. The reason why you see the same builds, is usually because that's the most powerful. What, you think the majority of people are going to intentionally handicap themselves just so you have a different opponent to fight? No. Obviously streamers might have an impact in making a certain build more popular, but that's not really because of the streamers, it's because players use that build and then other players get rekt by it, so then those players use that build and so on. Same goes with strategies, let's say a streamer finds a super op spot to camp in tarkov. Well players will copy that, and then other players are going to copy them. If you take streamers completely out of the occasion it will still happen because of strategy guides, and if you take strategy guides out of the occasion it will still happen just a bit slower because players can only find it out from other players or their friends. And this is all assuming the person doesn't find out about it themselves, because almost every person who played elden ring instantly realized how powerful bleed, dex, faith, and magic are, it didn't take streamers or strategy guides it's just obvious, unless the player didn't interact with those builds at all.

people meta copy pasting isn't the problem. even meta builds have their weak points, and can be exploited. especially if enough people adopt an anti-meta build/style/etc. the problem is when the gap between all possible meta potentials is so great that anti-meta builds cannot balance the scale. that^ is when competitive integrity is diminished. i've lived through enough games/genres over years and been part of meta shifts (caused like 2...which is nothing), to know copying meta builds isn't the problem at the core. because if meta builds have the potential to be checked, players can hold the potential to balance the "meta". there's a huge responsibility on the rule makers (devs/studios) to be careful when balancing mechanics/data and/or introducing new variables into a game (assuming its competitive).

The problem with streaming and i guess shorts/ticktok culture in general is the reliance on continuous content for engagement. Since streamers rely on constant content stream for an income, they need games to be constantly updated and fresh with basically no time for boredom to keep viewers engaged, and if a game didnt meet these criteria, they could leverage their influence to disparage the game. This leads to devs having to facilitate this, often at the expense of the core experience or their game is skipped over by content creators and lost in the churn

@@user-sj9qf3xm7q It's not the smurfs smurfing. It's the smurfs actively throwing to maintain that low rank. At the absolute worst of the worst bottom barrel newest of the new player level of matchmaking... most games actively try to push people out of that rank. It's supposed to just be there for a few games so people can figure out basic mechanics of what's going on. "Let's just play a game and see if we can pick this up.". The bottom rank is supposed to be for that. People have to actively throw to stay there, they have to tank their account hard. They do it to offset the video clipshow of them getting 100kills in a single match when they are playing against people at that level. For that one performance and stay at that rank they have to throw multiple games ruining things for everyone. But that's the worst lowest rank. In general ranking ladders are shaped like bell curves. If a game has 5 then ranks 3 is going to have the largest population of people. Games that report population ranks show this. The rank right in the middle is always the biggest. So if a rank 5 player wants to smurf on rank 3s hard they're going to have the same problem I just explained. To win that hard every now and again to show how awesome they are for the content they have to throw a couple games too. It's not as bad for the number they have to throw for the bottom rank 1. But they still have to actively play badly in 2-3 games for that performance and not get promoted out of rank 3. And if you play a game enough you can tell. Oddly, something similar happens at the absolute top end of competitive games. An example of that is LoL. Which I haven't played in years but it was in the gaming news. If someone wants rank 1 in Challenger... which is the highest level of play... the only way to get there is Win Trading. Players conspire to be on opposite teams for a match and then one of them actively plays badly on purpose to boost the win rate of the other player. How bad is it? Last year the top spot on every single server was a known Win Trader... which is why it was in the news. Anyone in the top 10 for a region got there because someone else actively sandbagged. Games are more likely to be ruined by sandbaggers actively trying to lose than smurfs. At the low or the high end.

I dont understand the idea behind that thinking. If you play ranked or even normal games in e.g. Valorant, League, Dota and so on you will always get matched against other players of similar skill level. Sure sometimes an annoying smurf will be in there, but honestly they existed way before twitch became really big and generally speaking the matchmaking does work decently well, so if you get destroyed you should be deranking into some area where you win/lose around 50% of your games. Of course these things dont apply to all games equally well like for Battle Arenas and so on its hard to have good matchmaking, but generally speaking for most big PvP games they work decent. So yeah I feel like you should likely be matched against the majority of humans who are just relatively casual players as well, thus you shouldnt really get destroyed, again broadly speaking about big popular games.

Warning: ESSAY incoming. problem what we have here is two-fold; by not using meta or a close approximation to it you either A: Can't carry your own weight (which is valid if the build you had was really trash which I doubt) or B: People value their time, just because you've done it "100 times" doesn't mean anything when you are about to join a group that wants to get it done now before the missus starts complaining or the kids needs help with homework. Something that would take 10-15 minutes shouldn't take close to an hour, that's inexcusable. Now you'd think those numbers are an exaggeration but I play a lot of division 2 and I see horrible builds every single day doing legendary missions that SHOULD take 15 minutes tops. 3 dps, 1 healer or CC (CC being prefered here since rooted enemies don't shoot back and doesn't take cover so they are easier and quicker to kill). We could argue what "reasonable extra time" to clear a legendary mission would be acceptible... half an hour instead of 15 minutes? sure... but when we're closing in on 45 minutes - 3 times the "normal" time (not even a speed run time mind you).... then you start to hear some muttering. Then after a while people just invite and instant kick or invite, ask if you have a dps or a cc build and then if not kick. But that takes time and finally people stop inviting randoms or matchmake totally because what's the point in filtering out trash for an hour when you could just carry some sorry sob through the mission during that time. Then people start doing them in duos or solo in less than 30 minutes, regulary so no need to even group up any more. Now it's one thing to not have everything super duper maxed out and another thing to have something equipped that says "I sneezed and clicked at the same time and now this is what I wear", if you show signs of actually trying to follow a cookie cutter meta build (which to be honest isn't a dergatory but rather a baseline to follow) people tend to be more friendly and let you in a group even if it takes longer time. But then we have to consider C When asked if you had build X, did you get defensive or were you apologetic or even worse dead silent/afk? Because what we see here is only your side of the argument. So TL:DR I think it's a mix between B and C that got you rejected.

@@AMolinaLamatta yeah call it "haters" for not wanting to waste an inappropriate time doing some mission/dungeon/raid you already have on farm status because someone wants to be an unique and beautiful snowflake that drags the team down. Try your builds on your own time and with friends, when joining randoms it's usually a crap show, when joining a group "LF1M" try to atleast put some effort into your build because no matter what you're going to be judged and if you get argumentative or snarky you will get the boot. not because the other people didn't respect your build, but that you didn't respect their time -AND your own build. META isn't a BAD thing, it is striving for perfection, that smooth quick run, adding people to friends lists, playing with them regularly breezing through easy content and working as a team in harder.... If you don't want to be a cog in that group dynamic you can be a circle, square or whatever on your own or with likeminded.

Maybe to make games more playable for fun, they could add a couple things to their games on both sides of the start screen. Example: Once the game loads title screen, it could ask the player something like: select online play or offline play. Then once they make their choice, it asks separate questions on each. Example 2: offline play selected; choose difficulty on a sliding bar scale against bots. Depending where you decide to put the difficulty bar, will determine the types of guns available to you in that round or playthrough. This would force you to become better with every weapon in the game. If you want the best weapons and gadgets to become available to you then you must play a harder difficulty to achieve that. And even if you become the best player in the world, no matter what you've achieved already, the difficulty bar if brought back down, would still limit what weapons are usable at that difficulty. Because in offline play the goal is for fun, not rank or points. But also gives you the option to become better on your own. Then when you feel like you may have what it takes for online play and you wanna sweat a bit, you can choose that at title screen. Example: online play selected. Then the game could put you in a lobby that has predetermined groups of players set up based on a mix of hours played, current rank, weapons currently unlocked and difficulty chosen. Certain extra high ranked individuals could choose to play on easy sure, but the lobby would always end up being empty because they are too good in this difficulty setting to be lobbied up with anyone on easy mode. It would force better players to play at higher difficulties but still give them an option to play a few levels under them in difficulty but with lesser weapons available in lower tier difficulties. This way they wouldn't be destroying easier play with the same exceptional weapons all the time. I'm sure there are flaws I'm missing here and can't see, but it's just a thought. Trying to help. Thanks for reading:-) Perhaps also allow for spectators? At the highest levels of play spectators could, in real time, learn new strategies of gameplay they never thought of to try.

So a couple of years ago Darts was something losers and drunks played in the pub. Suddenly it started blowing up to such degrees that it has full tv coverage in several European countries. Pubs saw their laddercompetitions grow and flourish. And we saw the same there. I play in a league, lowest of the lowest lvl. I go in there just to have fun, meet new people and throw a dart or 2 while doing so. Then you have the sweats who think they have a shot at becoming world champion. Ladder went from 40 people to 70, back to 45. No casual player remains. The pub team that existed was free to join. You did have to commit to a certain schedule but other than that it was just a night out with the boys drinking and playing darts. Now you have to go through trials, hit a certain lvl and even then you are not sure of your place. The team existed for years, it's dead now. Fights between teammembers, differences in ambitions,... It's dead. It's not something exclusive to gaming. When there is something to win, a small chance that what you like doing as a hobby could become your job many start thinking they actually could.

The "same skill level" problem is that in practice it just makes it really hard to tell if you are getting any better or not and forces you to sweat because when on "equal" footing anybody casual is still being owned because everyone is playing to WIN it is the WIN CONDITION that is the problem. You are playing a game where only 10% actually win leaving 90% to stick around til failure is unappealing enough to quit.

the hyperfocus of games pushing a competetive mode with official ranks also was such a slippery slope into sweatiness, I remember when League was all about trying the most ridiculous builds, comps and strats, but nowadays all any1 plays that game for is those virtual good boy points, to the point where a loss or victory has a severe impact on their whole day, not to mention a single loss for many means they stop playing for the rest of the day solely because that loss will subconsciously impact any further games that day and will lower their chance of winning. Counter strike is a fantastic example of this aswell, it used to be all about the minigames, surfing, god damn jailbreak roleplay or otherwise goofy maps with various fun rules, today the only capacity any1 ever talks about CS in is concerning skins or ranks

This is a great discussion. I'm 52 and have played games since maybe about 79. I have seen so many changes both good and bad. When playing online with friends first appeared, that was the entire point. Having fun with friends. Now with companies still having their hands in your pocket long after purchase, the over competitiveness of people who get paid to game vs people working 40-60 hrs a week and just trying to relax kinda ruins the experience. Honestly, I've been having more fun than I've ever had playing single player story rich games. I'm not hating on those that make it a career but it's definitely a different experience for those with other responsibilities. I also think this level of competition has turned innocent bantering and trash talking into a level of toxicity I thought I'd never see. Some of the things these try hard adults say to kids is crazy. Then after learning this the kids escalate it lol. Anyway, thank you for the video but I do think with corporate greed involvement, everything discussed will only get worse.

If we ran into people who couldn't bhop all over the map and quickscope accurately and if they didn't know all the proper smokes and pop flashes etc. they stood no chance. If anyone is old like me you'll remember cal, the ranks in cal for teams were open/intermediate/main/premier/invite. Even the decent cal-o teams would have mandatory practice 5+ days a week. This was nearly 20 years ago at this point. Players have been sweaty forever, thinking fortnite started it is because you were at the right age at that time and you think everyone was bad before then, and you are wrong.

I think the problem with gaming is multifaceted: 1. Battle royales is a self canabilzing style of game. Before it was team vs team in shooter games, now it’s your team vs 20 others. How can you ever do SBMM with over 100 players at the same time versus the past with 4 v 4. I had multiple 50s back in Halo 3 and I can say without a doubt that Platinum and above in Apex is 100x more sweatier. 2. How games make money now with live service: live service games incentivize people to win more or less and it’s all about player retention now. The levers these companies can pull depending on how much someone purchases can change the experience. Would you want to give a whale spender easier games to keep them hooked? 3. First person shooters have been out for 20+ years. Think about how some of us have been playing games longer than these kids have been on this planet. Hell we’re playing the same game as these kids on older generation consoles that are older than them. 4. Information and content for these games are everywhere now compared to back in the day. 5. Ability to make money in gaming has made it even sweatier. I find this minor but people do mimic the play styles of top players. Overall all of these things combined have turned FPS games and others into a cluster of difficulty spike and why everything is so damn sweaty.

Great point skill based matchmaking how does it work in battle royales. The idea of normal skill based matchmaking team vs team or 1v1 is to get you go a 50 percent win rate. With apex your accounting for 100 people of different levels is it a average rating but then surely it cant ever be a fair chance. Then you have the even more complex questions apex and other battle royales need to answer rating. Survial in battle royales simply should never be as effective as either killing or winning., Points need to be Last standing > Kills> time survived. So in apex you can have a problem because the gsme promotes ratting so much you have 0 reasons to learn positioning movement or gunplay

Your number 4 is really on point. I played baldurs gate 3 from release and unknowingly kept googling stuff like "how to complete a quest" or "best built for...". Because it was a new game there was no content for the stuff I was doing. Because of that my first playthrough was the most memorable. I didn't know what was ahead of me, I just tried something out and after some time I arrived at the right conclusion. I know its not the same comparing online gaming and single player but the concept still applies. People nowadays just copy the "meta" shit and everyone just becomes Buzz Lightyear from the toy shop scene thinking they are doing something unique while literally just copying experience of someone else. Sadly gaming is not about fun anymore, but rather achieving something that someone else has achieved.

I remember being a kid with my dad at the game store to pick up Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. I saw the official guide book on a shelf and wanted it because it looked cool. My dad said no because "what is the point of getting a book that spoils the entire game". And as he said it I agreed because ofcourse it was true. I just wanted it for the looks but I knew that it would be so stupid to have a guide for a game when the point is to explore it and find all the things. Now, fast forward to now and I was enjoying Season of Discovery with some people at work. We were two weeks from the release of season 2. They were all reading up on which class and spec will be the best. Some of them had re-rolled new characters since the one they picked for phase 1 was no longer the meta. They already knew what talents to pick. They had stocked up on any item that can be handed in for xp and their plan for enjoying the new content was to get online quickly at launch and then permagrind the same dungeon until they hit max. So that they could do Gnomeregan on the second day. Before they did Gnomeregan they obviously would watch a stream of other people doing it and reading up on all the bosses. So that they could one shot it. I feel like I am living in an insane asylum observing this. People are not just buying the official guide book with every game they play. They read it from cover to cover before they start the game up, so that they can get through it as fast as possible and with as little enjoyment as possible. So that they can then feel superior to the people who didn't.

The problem with the always competitive metagaming culture is the opposite. It prevents people from being able to even conceive how they might enjoy the game the most. It's one thing to meticulously figure out which class and spec will do slightly more dps than all the others and play that because you get a genuine thrill out of having higher numbers than the rest. It is another to google the best class/spec and then pick that one because you're afraid that if you don't you won't find groups and raids. Or because you will feel like you are a worse player when everyone link the logs after raids. Most people who do this still convince themselves that they're doing it because they just love playing games competitively.

This is exactly why Helldivers 2 is such a massive success. I quit playing Cod, Fort, Warzone etc… all that Online Multiplayer BS years ago. The games became way too competitive and toxic to be enjoyable, that’s all there is to it. I’m a good player and could finish top of a match but that’s not the point. The whole point of a video game is to have fun but for Online Multiplayer Titles, those days are long gone. Things will never again be the same.

I struggle with this a bit. I know everyone has their own way but I struggle to fully understand casual gaming on the level you describe. I do fall into the ttv category but I don't sweat more because of that. It's more the other way around that I ttv because I sweat. Fall guys was mentioned and about how it was sweaty to find the best path. I would do this regardless as well because the fun (to me) is figuring our how things work. TBF, I am a bit sweaty and I have done competitive but comp is just a "skill test" to me and not very fun. And while I might sweat, I taper my gameplay to the skill of my opponent because I don't like being leagues above; I'd rather try to teach really inexperienced players so that the player base grows instead of shrinks. However, I understand that there IS a large player base that all say this and talk about how casual isn't a thing. The argument is valid but I also believe the SBMM is the answer to this in games that do not have a ranked mode. Just putting out a slightly different perspective from someone who has never been able to casual game.

To add onto this conversation: Zero Sum is a concept in which one person has to gain just as much as the other person has to lose. I forget where I heard it but when you do the math, the sum total is zero. "Zero Sum is Zero Fun." To get people to not care about the outcome. . . is to remove the concept of games being Zero Sum. Titan Fall 2. When you lost in that game, you didn't lose, it just triggered an event where the winners were on one side of the event, and the losers were on the other. The people on the losing side had to escape, and the winners had to kill them. Winning and losing didn't matter, it was just about escaping. And if you lost there, who cares? Most of the match didn't matter anyways, and that was the fun part.

@@randypeterson6938 SBMM is a stupid concept ON PRINCIBLE. It assumes games are more fun when you are facing players of your own skill level. . . which isn't fun. Games are more fun when you are qued with fun opponents/teammates. Doesn't matter if they are better or worse than you. What matters is "how" they play the game. One of the bigger changes nintendo made to Mario Maker 2 is the ability to downvote levels. When you downvote levels, it makes it less likely for other players to deal with it. Now imagine that system implemented around random ques. "Do you want to que up with more players like this", a simple yes or no question. This gives the player a "Enjoyment based rating score". Downvote or upvote. The system keeps track of if you downvote more or upvote more and prioritizes the one you do less. If a guy who only downvotes players, their downvote rating is worth like less than 1% of what the downvote is worth of a person who only upvotes. The point of the system is to rate a player on how many people find them enjoyable or how many find them annoying, while also disregarding those that only vote one way. From there, it assigns a "score" or a "rating" to that player. . . not based on skill, but on how enjoyable they are. This "Enjoyment Based Match Making" system prioritizes people of similar enjoyment ratings. Meaning the people who are annoying get put in annoying lobbies and people are fun to play against get put in lobbies with other fun people to play against. So the sweats and the cheaters get the bad lobbies and the casuals who are just here to have fun get the good lobbies. How you treat your fellow players will get you karma that gets you worse or better lobbies. "+rep", THIS is how you make a good match making system: By making it via player recommendations and NOT based off of skill. Annoying players hurt the playerbase. If they quit cause they get bad lobbies, good.

@@Hadeks_Marow This system assumes that whatever game you are playing has a player base large enough that you can actually find a game with these "fun players" without the search times being way too long. I don't really understand people having an issue with sbmm on principle. In most situations people dont want to get gutterstomped even when they are playing casual instead of ranked. I could be the most friendly player in the world who doesnt chase metas on dota, but if i get matched against someone with less than 2k hours I will probably crush them and they will hate the experience. I think the main issue with sbmm is just when it detects rise in skill over too small a period of time. If a game is checking your skill over like 20 games then it should be able to make an informed decision on whether you are in the right skill bracket or not.

@@marklebury SBMM works for fighting games that are 1v1. But that's the ONLY time the systems works. As soon as there's a 3rd person, the system breaks down and fails to accurately depict each players capabilities. SBMM is based on the Elo Rating System designed by Arpad Elo. . . who made it. . . FOR CHESS TOURNAMENTS. It was NEVER designed for videogames NOR any form of system outside of a 1v1 and DEFINITELY not for a casual/enjoyable setting. That is one of the core components of the issue. It was not made for the medium it's used in and the problems because of such are self apparent. And even in the fighting game example, it does nothing in regards to "good players not trying". A user review would account for such a notion. SBMM and EBMM work on the same system, assigning a number to a player and finds players who are online within a similar number range to the player for the player to play against. The only difference is what that number represents and how that number was achieved. If no one likes getting curbstomped, then the curbstompper would naturally get downvoted and pushed to the bottom (so that curbstompers get put in matches with other curbstompers) and the people who joke around, meme, not take the game seriously and just have fun with it get pushed to the top with similar playstyles. The goal of such a system is to aim to emulate the type of experience of playing in private lobbies with your friends. You are NOT going to be as good as your friend. That's not what makes such a match enjoyable. What makes it enjoyable is playstyle and how seriously you take the game in relation to the other player. A casual does not want to play with/against a sweat. The social aspect with friends creates a "social game balance" which is the alternative to "developer implemented game balance" where, when you are with friends, the better player is naturally going to not try as hard as the worse player where both players choose to balance out the scales on their own instinctually. Once again, the goal of an EBMM system would be to try and promote and endorse that social game balance aspect as a means to emulate the experience of playing with friends. It achieves this by users naturally rewarding and punishing those who actively make the game a better or worse experience for them. And this much. . . can be attributed. . . with NO correlation to skill what-so-ever. That's because, unlike SBMM/ERS, an EBMM system is actually DESIGNED for videogames with multiple people in a match. It is not designed for rank-play though. That's where SBMM/ERS would have to stay unfortunately. When it comes to unranked ques on the other hand, the only people who don't get to have fun are the players making the game unfun.

When i play competitive games like ow2 and league, I play competitive/ranked to try hard and focus on being as competitive as I can. But when I want to learn a new champ/hero in unranked/quick play, or play a role I don’t normally play, or just play for fun with no win/lose mindset; every game had the majority of the lobby try harding harder than ranked/comp games. People got more upset in these casual modes than ranked ones. Since I play more ow2 now ill use it as an example. Ud have a mercy genji ana threemade sweating out clips in casual when I’m trying to learn Hanzo or something. U play against widow one tricks who ruin the lives of people trying to learn new heroes because she doesnt miss a shot, and ur tank rightfully doesnt want to switch to counter her because he wants to play something for fun. It becomes frustrating quickly because I dont learn anything. And its not like I want my team to swap in quickplay because what if they are learning a character, or what if they (rightly) dont care about winning quickplay. It seems like unranked layers are so unbelievably sweaty and yet so afraid of actually going into a ranked mode for some reason, I guess fear of losing? But as a result they take their competitiveness into quickplay where wins and losses mean nothing. Games now at every level including casual are so competitive it is miserable.

As some one who sweats in the games I often play (Rocket League, PUBG) I must admit a sad truth that is probably far less common a reason for "sweats" in gaming. The two reasons for this are; one, I am just a competitive person. In anything PvP if the goal is to win in a game like RL or PUBG that is my objective, purely for the sake of competitiveness, I love the passion for it, and I love working hard for the wins. Additionally, these two games are ones that you rarely will have immense win streaks, so wins are a little more rewarding in their scarcity. Two, as someone with not much to offer the world, someone who is stuck at a wall in life where work isn't enjoyable or really unenjoyable it just is. It's a must, I can't afford to grind up a community nor do I have the personality to be on camera or recorded (I might be on the spectrum, and thus say some heinous sh*t I don't always mean lol) nor do I have the desire for such a spotlight, I do not seek fame or money from games. It's for the same competitive spirit that I give in recreational soccer, where I have no aspirations to join MLS nor seek the highest form of glory possible at my age in the sport. I love the sport, and I love putting my heart and soul into it, and I think part of that mentality exists for a lot of people and it bleeds into video games. All this to say, that in the games where everyone else sweats, I must also sweat because at that point you can't play for fun, it gets shut down by the sweats to quickly, and you wonder "why even play at that point when fun is forfeit, and you have to mold yourself to the demands of the game rather than enjoy the boundaries of the game in your own way?" well, heres the sad part - I got nothing else to really say I'm good at. I'm good at RL, I'm good at PUBG. To feel good about myself cannot always happen at work where I feel so average and missable. Plus the only times I was told "good job" or congratulated in any way for being good at something has mostly come from video game achievements and ultimately winning in virtual reality, as winning in life after covid and through this horrendous economy the wins are far and few between.

Better example... back in 2013-2014 I used to be a pro-level player at FIFA (not a professional, just division 1 and winning a ton of games even at the top)... back then the game was fair, the skill gap was huge if you knew how to play and the game didn't assist you or cover your mistakes... but then they started to cater to the bad players to assist them at "not getting beat that bad"... so what did they do? Assume you're doing a wrong pass and aim right at your opponents defender... the game would do everything in it's power to make the pass go through and the ball would go way off from where you aimed to avoid the defender... you're pretty much not playing anymore, the AI is correcting your mistakes left and right and all you do is button mash... so now people now literally button mash in a sports game... which made me quit cause I didn't care about getting to the top if it wasn't due to skill... the game literally has scripted instances where the input doesn't match the output within the game to make you lose more games if you're good to "keep you playing" since you take waaaaay longer to get to your deserved rank... back in 2013 since in FIFA you have to start from Division 10 at the bottom every year, it took me literally 2 weeks to get to Division 1 and had a win% of 90-95% and up to Division 3 I pretty much was at 100%, can't remember losing a game in those divisions cause I was simply too good for them... but after getting to Division 1 these low rank players would never see me again...

I out my controller down and asked what I was doing getting all worked up for. Then I saw sales on different games. Xcom, metro 2033, star wars jedi, doom just to name a few. Something outside the same multiplier games. Dude, the shift from being the best to just having fun was eye opening.

I literally had to get off and take a break because in a game where I carried the whole game, a guy mic'd up and yelled at me because he died to ring because "I didn't ping where I was going", "I was using Mirage to run away from fights and just picking off their kills.", and "I didn't wait on the edge of the next circle so he can use his Newcastle ult to move over to me." Like...He had 1 kill and 300 damage. I carried him to top 2, and literally couldn't focus on killing the last squad because he was more interested in screaming about how him dying 3 times during the match was my fault. And before that I had two guys kill themselves and refuse to play with me because the first game I was AFK, had something important to do, and the second guy was off killing people, doing very well. But as soon as he died, he mic'd up and said "Why can't I get help over here?" Dude. You were killing everyone, you were doing just fine. But now once you get downed now you're wondering why we didn't help? Plus, we weren't ready. He started fighting off drop. I revived them, and instead of continuing to play they killed themselves. These were two different games. I also had one similar game to these earlier in the day. I don't understand. I seriously don't understand why a random game of Apex gets people so angry they are willing to ruin their own play time just to spite another person for something that was their fault. But then I ran into a guy who was great and we ended up going on a 7 game win streak, so it was worth it but man.

Apex and fortnite were my two most played games and then when cross platform became the standard it was noticeable how much more difficult it became to compete in these lobbies. It seemed like 70% of the players were keyboard and mouse and held a significant advantage over the controller players. Ever since switching to PC a couple years ago I’ve noticed a significant difference in the floor of my play on games like Fortnite. I’m not amazing but I no longer feel like a JV high schooler playing against NBA players.
