RE: Live-Streaming Reality vs Expectation. Of Whales, Greed and Altruism
All games like that are good for these days is increasing the chance I'll die of sudden heart failure or stroke.
Hehe, I feel you man! I catch myself raging because of teammates even in meaningless quickmatches sometimes, although I'm the calmest person you'll ever meet 😅 👼
but I'll be damned if I've ever seen any real pros actually struggle in solo games.
you can see that every day, just check out popular streamers who are also pro players of [insert random team game here]
There's only so much one player can do to carry a match, and in many team games, a single player is restricted from having enough impact by design.
I think the constant stress is an insight into how thought patterns change when in competitive scenarios as people degenerate into racists and/or sexists who want everything around them to die, lol, there should be way more studies on it.
Oh, I know that winning is hard when your mmr is so high you're placed with four deadweights vs 5 semi-competent players, I was speaking more to the fact that they themselves still perform about as good as one can expect given the scenarios thrown at them.
I guess I should clarify that my definition of pro is more narrow because I view a lot of pro players as very mediocre.
