It’s not necessarily just your reflexes, the console players with their built-in aim hacks are fucking ridiculous these days

I feel like multiplayer games need a special chill lobby for verified players over 30. One where you can step aside and deal with the kids without causing issues. A space where you can call it a night without spoiling the fun because it’s 8:15 and you really need to get ready for bed.

Every gamer ever: no scope headshots an opponent…“man I’m so good at this game!”
Also every gamer: dies from a no scope headshot…“this guy has to use an aimbot to beat me, so lame!”

That’s funny - MW2, BF: Bad Company 2 and BF3 were the last competitive shooters I really enjoyed, too. I had a good time playing Apex Legends for a while, but not because I was good at it… more because I could have fun playing my own version of The Running Man until someone inevitably found me.

I’m 53… and that was how I started playing.
It took me two years and a bit of fiddling with the controller setting to “git gud”. My K/D ratio for the first couple of years was 0.11 (prolly lower but that was the lowest it would show.) and I eventually got it up to 0.71 (approx 1.1 for the last few seasons).
Im amazed at how many people play these games without a headset. I can usually hear them before I see them.
