shitty-at-games thread. anyone else here have a game that they love but are downright terrible at?
i love playing overwatch but i'm honestly just a shit player. it's not uncommon for my team to lose five or six games in a row, even though it's rotating players each time. i have more hours logged than many of my friends and yet almost all of them are higher level than me. i'm slowly getting better, and the irony is that i still have a lot of fun when i play, even if i am losing. it just kinda sucks when my IRL friends are all online and none of them invite to their group.
anyone else know these feels?

I just play SP games instead. Online is not fun when it's all about muh rank muh matchmaking. I miss when you could just find a server to goof around in. No tryhards everywhere.
Dylan Bell
Go to a jump map user, I learned by brute force on those
Jose Murphy
when playing mei's snowball offensive in overwath the other night, i was the last one standing from my team and only had to kill one more guy. i went at him with my ult while he had no ammo. i missed with every shot and he had enough time to reload and immediately kill me.
Gabriel Myers
At least you tried user. I always get eliminated first
Michael Allen
>it's not uncommon for my team to lose five or six games in a row, probably because your friends won too many games, the game intentionally hands you matches you can't possibly win in order to try to artificially enforce a 50 w/l ratio
this too. competitive fags ruin online games and they're the only ones companies pander to. i miss when games were about fun, not about giving turboautist permavirgins purpose in life.
Cameron Garcia
Yes, I'm terrible at overwatch and fighting games but still love playing them. I'm bronze in both overwatch and sfv. I've even lost so many times in a row I've gotten backto 0 points in sfv a few times
Lincoln Jenkins

Henry Hall
Basically any FPS/competitive game.
I'm terrible at aiming, I always have been. For ten years I've never gotten any better at it. It's at the point where all my friends unanimously dislike playing almost ANY game with me and even if I'm doing well with an auto-aim hero like Mercy or racking up the points with the Medic class from battlefield it's "always" my fault when we're losing because of "muh KD"
Needless to say I don't play video games with them and I try to avoid playing with Sup Forums or /vg/ groups.

does tracer have to wear that going to sleep, while showering, while eating, while doing basically anything lest her timeline start malfunctioning?
kinda sucks
Joseph Ross
Every fighting game I've ever touched.
Isaac Nguyen
Are you a good support at least?
Yes she will be lost in time again otherwise.
Carson Edwards
probably. the last thing she wants is to be tryna shave her legs in the shower and suddenly she finds herself naked in 1863.
Matthew Ross
She would have to watch a tutorial. If someone is having trouble rocket jumping across the map, then they need to see how the pros are doing it cause pros do things in a way that new players haven't even thought about.
Carter Mitchell
I just got really good at chaining single jumps, I might not get any proMLG roll outs, but I can keep up and get to the front line fast enough.
Nicholas Lee
Assassin characters in mobas, snipers\twitch characters in fps, fighting games in general. Not that i'm forever bad with them, I just don't care enough to practice.
Tyler Cook
Fucking this. It's been weeks since I've even seen another 5 star + player as I've been getting paired with players between 1-3 stars.
And don't even get me started on fighting games. I love watching tournaments and shit, but ouside doing easy BnB combos on the AI, I am absolute dogshit online and go into panic mode whenever I so much as lose a quarter of my health and I just instinctively start mashing. Pure suffering.
Mason Carter
I can't say I'm bad at overwatch but I can only git gud with very few characters because the more shit I try to cram in my brain about how to effectively play a character, the more I suck at everything else. I will never use genji because I just know I'm never going to get more than a few kills. Winston is a pain because literally all I can do is either help with a bit of area denial and kill squishies. Between this and faggots whining about the meta, I can't bring myself to play overwatch. Even if I get 2-4 golds rather regularly as junkrat it's just not fun anymore
Michael Long
I usually only EVER play support when I play with my friends, and mostly when I don't now that I think about it.
Back when I still played Overwatch the only Hero I enjoyed was Mercy and I even got play of the game with her on occasion, which is saying something considering my overall skill level compared to my friends
And if I ever play league of legends the only hero I play is Sona with the occasional Karma. My most-played hero in Hots is Morales and if I can run a support build in a FPS game I usually run medic or get creative.
Like, in Titanfall 2 I run a build purely meant to make ripping batteries out of enemy titans and giving them to friendly titans easier, and that's basically what I do all game.
Brandon Bennett
Although I guess I should add that I absolutely cannot play a healer in MMOs. I don't understand how people can play a healer in those games when it's the most stressful role.
Even in 5-man expx shit I almost have a heart attack.
Carter Garcia
I'm awful at League. I play it because a lot of my friends do. It gets pretty enjoyable at times but I see why it's widely regarded as cancer. People get so fucking mad over dumb shit but at the same time it's super frustrating when your team doesn't do what they're supposed to. The worst thing ever is getting a support that takes your cs and doesn't cover you at all. The complete lack of faith in you and other players on the team gives autists some kind of incentive to take over and shit up the all chat with shit like "my team is bad".
One of the few things I'm good at is Pantheon adc which is uncommon but can certainly be done, and I've pulled it off quite well. Two autists on my team started antagonizing me for it and my support outright tried to take the position of adc. They wouldn't even give it a chance. We were winning laning phase before shit got bad.
I don't own many Champs champions and I've been playing for less than a year. I live for the actual good moments in the game because every now and then I'll pull something out of my ass and I'll carry the whole team. I main top lane because those champions are easy to play and have a huge payoff. I'm not as bad as I used to be but I'm still only level 26 as of now. Most of it feels more like teammates just have their own strategy and aren't willing to communicate though. I'm not good at the game by any means and I have a long road to go before I master any champions but I at least try to work with the team.
Thomas Cooper
I'm fucking awful at fighting games but I fucking love the shit out of them. It's always a rush when playing them.
Asher Butler
I lose so many times that I'm better at telling people what to do than playing. If I see someone about to make the same mistake I made I'll correct them so we won't lose the game.
Gavin Cook
I actually do.
I'm generally really mediocre, I enjoy playing competitive games but the stress is something that eventually gets me.
Jack King
>Pantheon ADC
Although he kind of works as support you have to learn when going off-meta is okay and when it's not okay. Yes going Pantheon/leona bot lane works for some games, but it's not going to work for all games. You have to consider what champs your team is using and what champs the enemy is using.
Tyler Miller
You're not even level 30. You have to understand that the meta is there for a reason. No marskmen on your team means no one who can securely take objectives and kills while the tank is tanking. You should be learning how to position and getting at least 150-200 CS by 20 minutes as marskmen.

>unironically playing ow >unironically playing league >playing supports in both games >somehow sucks at these fucking easy as fuck (mechanically, anyway) games) >craves attention from online friends on fucking battle.net of all places
I fucking hate femanons, you're all the same.
Noah Gutierrez
Ah crap I've still got to get jingle tracer
Angel Nelson
Fifa 13
Sometimes I play 7 or 8 matches in a row without make goal and losing everytime.
Sebastian Sanchez
>no ranged carry on team >whole team grouped in one spot >letting the enemy Leona or anyone with ranged CC stun your whole
Bentley Hill
I started playing Battlefront yesterday and while I certainly don't love it I did enjoy it.
I like to think why I'm getting my ass whooped so consistently is because everyone is 50 levels higher than me but I also worry I might suck.
Ryan Ortiz
The support tried going ADC because support Pantheon is sort of a thing (he has a stun and can peel/harass pretty okay)
Gavin Carter
I love The Idea of starcraft. In practice, I find that actually playing it aiming for even an average level of skill is a matter of smashing your face against the interface. The interface itself is designed to deliberately get in your way, to make certain tactics require more mechanical skill than they otherwise would. Same design philosophy as in Dota, and I hate it - I can't convince myself to devote effort in progressing in a game thusly designed, even if I love the theme and gameplay style.
Jackson Roberts
i mainly avoid it because my ISP can be shit at times, & listening to a pretentious brat trying so hard to find unique ways to insult & act cool get on my nerves. I don't play vidya for that.
Aaron Bennett
God I seriously can't rocket up at all, I tried so hard and practiced for weeks, watching tutorials and everything but I couldn't get it right. I just keep fucking up, I can't even use the parachute because I always deploy if before I even rocket jump somehow.
Camden Collins
siege operating is cool but I'm irredeemable trash
