Fortnite.
Battle royale games. Aren’t they stressful? MOBA. Same map, same heroes? Counter-Strike. Hasn’t this been played for decades? Other games exist.

The stress/adrenaline is actually a pro for most people that play competitive games. For mobas.. same map, yes, same heroes no. It’s like chess but with 100 possible pieces instead of the same ones every time. Counter strike.. there’s actually many different maps with different strategies, so there’s variety. Plus, look at most other sports and activities. Most are unchanged. Again, chess, card games, football, etc. The fact that you can not play for 3 years and then pick it up again and not be completely lost is actually quite cool, imo. I wish there were more online games like that.

I played PUBG from when early access was released until the day they added bots to the computer version. It was one of my favorite games ever. My first solo victory against 99 other humans all better than I am, my heart rate hit 180. I laid down and vibrated for a while.
With bots in the game, that feeling will never be attainable again D: But it was awesome while it lasted.

Haha, I know what you mean. Starts feeling cool when it dwindles down to 6-10 people.. then when there’s 2-3 people left it goes into overdrive.
CS has plenty of moments like that as well.. especially when you’re left 1v2-3+… Haven’t played in a while but just thinking and talking about it makes me wanna pick it up again..
