Weird, I wonder what the common factor could be?
Look I don't appreciate you coming at me with these logical and reasonable points.
Well, I never have this problem... because I stopped playing competitive games. I suck and they actually kinda stress me out unless I play with friends who are chill.
Likewise, coop is so much more fun IMO
Especially if it's something like Overcooked
Silly coop games with a low barrier of entry are amazing
I stopped playing Dota 2 in 2019, clocked 6500 hours on that game. The only times I had fun was when I player with friends, solo queue was torture.
It’s because games like Call of duty rig matchmaking so you don’t win / lose all the time. Connection preference can make all the difference
Edit: I appear to have stumbled into a rocket league focused discussion
There are very few games from large companies that don't tilt favor one way or another. Generally speaking though there is usually some way around this and much more skilled players will do better, but joe schmoe after an awesome game will always end up on the shitter team one way or another next game.
One thing that helped me get better is the mindset that if I can't carry, I don't deserve to rank up. I just adapt to whatever I'm given.
If I carry, my team can't be good.
Why are you carrying? You should be working with your team instead of plowing through on your own.
If your strength is offense and you get paired with offense people as well, someone needs to fall back and cover defense. If you’re not doing that once in a while, you’re the liability.
Hence, adapt to whatever I'm given. If I can't play offense and defense, I don't deserve to rank up.
You adapt to what your team needs. If you think you are “carrying” you’re playing a team game completely wrong mate. Simple as that.
They are all ranked the same since they have the same skill level in the end.
