Lucky shot, noob

This is why I quit playing Magic the Gathering, the one person I regularly played against was the sorest possible loser. Every win I got was because I "just got lucky" and every win he got was "strategy" (his strategy was pouring hundreds of dollars into the game for the most expensive and broken cards).
- Did you play against Musk or something? (tho, that seems improbable, he wouldn't win even with the most broken deck)

Nah, I know for a fact 2/3 of my kills were luck, and the other 1/3 is new players.
- COD is literally designed with luck based kills being primary to skill. With each iteration being more dependent on luck than the last.

I know when I get lucky, too. I've managed to accidentally snipe a dude super far away in ARMA playing Wasteland when I bumped my mouse against my keyboard while trying to get through a door, so my gun was pointed to my side and because the ballistics in the game are pretty gnar, some poor bastard almost a full kilometer away got brained by it.

I always do the opposite. Every shot I land it's a lucky shot, and every time I die it's a skill issue

Thing is, I know I am a Mid player of any competitive game I actually get into. COD/Halo I was always middle of the board, a relatively 1-1 k/d ratio so nothing great but not dragging my team down, so I knew when someone was just better than me or when BS was going on, and I definitely knew when my team fucking sucked. If I was at the top of the board for my team, my team was ASS, I am not good enough to be up that high with a competent team.
Now, I just don't play PVP stuff, only PVE, but my teams still fucking suck. I hate carrying a team who can't do their jobs.

Shit map, shit team, bad ping, hackers on the other side.
That should about cover it

Funny enough there's a whole section of social psychology dedicated to this type of causal attribution. See also: "it was lag!!"
Long story short: personal, stable factors we like it it's a success, dislike in failure; situational, unstable factors we like it it's a failure, dislike in success. Self-serving and group serving biases, basically.
- Fun fact, lagging is a known way of cheating where a player creates artificial lag for periods of time to mess everything up.

I mostly lose when my team is clueless (typical lack of situational awareness) or expects me to carry them (I don't carry trash). That's when I stop playing and start trolling. Either way, I'm having a good time.
- Yep, you're in the picture alright
