I had an realisation. I'm now too old to start really improving my gaming skills, mainly in shooters. I'd really like to play shooters but every single game is filled to the brim with 15 year olds hopped on adderall, that I cannot hope to match in my wildest dreams. Every single game. Every single even slightly competitive game requires you to spend autismal amounts of time to get on a level where you are not just a score in someone else's scoreboard. What the fuck am I to do?

Simple, don't play mp focused shooters. Single player is far more enjoyable.

you may never be top tier in shooters, but im pretty sure you can play to a point where you're better than a majority of players since most players are dumb/casual
dont give up

As someone whom mainly plays JRPGs, that is false. My friends mostly play shooters, and the more I played with them, the better I became.
About the scores, that's due to dedicated players that play virtually nothing else.
you can reach the top 10% of players in most FPS simply by having a basic understanding of tactics and positioning.
Like, if you play Overwatch or TF2 and have enough sense to stand on an objective then you're already one of the best players in the world even if you don't know how to fire a gun

Try the arma series. There's more adult players, and it's very much strategy oriented.

Why do you want to be the king of shit hill is the question?
Play for fun, because in games like overwatch and paladins you get recked by premade groups anyway.
How you play is kind of irrelevant, you can be average and if you have a premade that work well you can still beat better players.

Play ARMA, Squad and other slow paced, tacticool shooters.

So how about you play fun games instead of video games that have literally turned into a super serious muh competition digital team sport?

Matchmaking is fucking hell and favors premades.

Wow, who would have guessed. Either get a team or play a 1v1 game if you don't want that.
