It's expected that people are going to be good if they are the only ones who play that game anymore.

maybe you could argue that but you can't defend getting GAPED 40 times in a row my man
come play paladins with me! I suck
>>34589666
why dont you try Quake Live
>>34589789
no that sounds pretty normal
these people have perfected their gameplay by playing against other autismos for years
>>34589666
Maybe you should play other games. Turn based or real time strategy games for instance. Totally recommend the Total War series.
>>34589894
This is true.
I used to beat up noobs in Mount & Blade's online mode with my fists instead of using a weapon.
>>34589666
this is literally why quake died, though, kek
there's such a massive barrier to entry (skill) that most people just won't ever become more than spectators (if they even manage that much. It's hard to spectate something you've barely played)
that and the fact that there's no matchmaking, lul
>>34589666
A little unrelated, but it really hurts when normie teenagers who spend less time playing a game than you are better than you.

>28 year old me playing Counter Strike
>teamed up with literally children
this is a strange situation i could never have foreseen
>>34590044
I was one of those teens but I got worse and worse at vidya until my skill atrophied into trash
>tfw you will never be good at quake
HOW DO I GET GOOD REEEEEEEEEE
>>34589666
Anybody that still plays Quake is basically a god now, at least to normal players
>>34590025
The reason they don't get gud is because there are no new players, nice circular logic
>tfw wasted so much time playing minigames and jailbreak servers on counter strike source
>>34589666
I still enjoy them alone
Not playing against others though because I'm a poor sport

csgo is so bad compared to 1.6 and source
it's so depressing how much it got ruined
