  • Why would you want to be in a league above your skill, it would make the game even less enjoyable.

    • He's emotionally stunted and unable to validate himself, leading him to seek external validation at every turn. Sometimes that's being the World's Most Divorced Dad on Twitter sharing stale memes. Sometimes it's trying to brag about being the Best Gamer, no matter what that looks like, be it ranking in Overwatch or paying someone to lead in Path of Exile for him. Ironically he has been completely poisoned by and subsumed into the cultures of nonstop competition for meaningless points that gaming corporations create and maintain to keep players playing. When he gets exposed it just makes him look like an even bigger loser, like his holistically awful Elden Ring build. If a normal person shared their terrible ER build they'd get pointers on how to improve it, but the Technoking of SpaceX is such an egotist that it just adds fuel to the fire.

    • It's entitlement. People who think "I'm good enough to be in the highest ranks, it's my stupid teammates that stop me from being there!" and so they get boosted. They don't realize having shitty teammates is part of any game and knowing how to deal with those players is a skill itself.

      But since they're antisocial nerds who treat other people like shit in real life and online, they never learn. There's an overlap between misogynistic assholes and shitters who get boosted.

        and nine times out of ten the person in question isn't at the point where they can start thinking about how to deal with bad players on their team, because they are deeply ignorant of fundamental concepts like map awareness and are a really sloppy player.

        idk about Overwatch but in League (at least back when I played) you could get to diamond just by muting your teammates and playing one champion every game and getting good enough to where you didn't pick bad fights or lose your lane for no reason.

        There's a scientific study about this actually, the bad players tended to be way more misogynistic because of their insecurities

  • This is like so dumb, like the point of having kids is apparently to use them to fraudulently present yourself as being a pro gamer then abandon them? This is some of the most idiotic anti-family-values shit but nobody cares.
