How I stop being salty over competitive?
I could lose with no problems up to gen 5. In fact, I laughed at all the bullshit that went on that gen, such as Dragon Gem Draco Meteor Latios OHKOing anything that wasn't steel type, Tyranitar or didn't Protect that turn. But it was fun because the large amount of bullshit for almost all pokemon would let even my bro Ninetales to be a key team player.
But since gen 6 I've been getting salty... not sure why. Maybe it was megas and Sylveon allowing "unskilled" strategies to raise on top. Maybe it was Aegislash turning prediction into blind guessing, or Talonflame saving any scrub from a sweep.
Gen 7 didn't really change that, except that instead of Draco Meteors, we have Z-Moves bypassing Protects and fields which you can't control as easily as weather.
Am I getting too old for this? Am I turning into a grumpy old person who hates changes? Or did competitive really go to shit?
bump, interested in responses

Yes, your a grumpy old man
If you complain about things than not even smogon care to suspect then you maybe should quit and play something than actually make you feel fun

I miss all the close combats in gen 5.
