Note / tlr;dr : a noob being noob trash player writing about his shitty no-skill .
I am bad at every game that I have played.
Starcraft 2 : started bronze,I'm currently gold, achieve platinum for a while, never been even diamond.
League of legends : gold IV, I have been gold II before decay, play only support been carrying by my team most of the time.
Hearthstone : been rank 5 and 4 stars, stuck at rank 9.
Dota 2 : never ranked was too hard for me <_<
Counterstrike : some how manage to be master guardian I or II but then I have been on losing streak until gold nova I.
Even in single player game I am bad.
I read different guides, watch some videos, been following a few guides here and there and I have always been bad doesn't matter how much effort I put into the game.
To lots of people this would just be another rant of a noob being noob and guess what, this is the truth ... I am just a noob, always have been , will forever be.
Why make a blog about it ? Because it's pretty frustrating knowing that every lose is because you are bad and your opponent is not even good, because videogames is a huge part of my life, because I love videos games and e-sport.
That's it I wanted this to be written somewhere on the internet because it's somehow matters to me and teamliquid blogs section seems appropriate for this.
I will keep watching e-sport and try to focus on one game at a time, but I will remain another casual ...
It's probably your mindset. Try playing a game you enjoy, for fun, instead of competitiveness. Realise that talent isn't fairly distributed and you might be good at different things.
Virpi's minute of truth: 1. It's impossible to be good at everything. 2. It's almost impossible to be good at one thing. 3. Being good at one thing usually means that you enjoy that thing for what it is, because it's the only way to enjoy hours and hours of practice. 4. Improving means learning from mistakes, which means you have to embrace the fact that you suck. 5. You will always lose, even if you're the best player in the world. Everyone loses. That's why competitive gaming exists.
Keep in mind about 99% of the people in this forum are not the best at anything. Just because they're better than you doesn't make them a good player. Just try to relax about things and acknowledge the brutal truth that there is always someone better than you.
Somewhat of a tangent, you can take that advice in a good or bad way. You can take it in a bad way, thinking "oh, well, there's always someone better, why try?" Well, I can't really say that's not true, but really, with that way of thinking, why live at all? The good way of thinking is "oh, there's always someone better, so I should strive to be my very best without worrying about others." Personally, I've found a lot of physical activities to be a haven for that type of attitude. When it comes to weightlifting, no matter how much I can squat, bench press, or deadlift, I can simply never stop improving. Once I deadlift 100 kgs, I start trying to deadlift 140 kgs. Next, 180. You get the gist, but really, you gotta come to terms with the fact that you'll hardly be the best, or even one of the best at any given thing. You just gotta keep doing what you're doing and acknowledge that that's simply enough.
