        Well, I never have this problem… because I stopped playing competitive games. I suck and they actually kinda stress me out unless I play with friends who are chill.

          Likewise, coop is so much more fun IMO

          Especially if it’s something like Overcooked

          Silly coop games with a low barrier of entry are amazing

          I stopped playing Dota 2 in 2019, clocked 6500 hours on that game. The only times I had fun was when I player with friends, solo queue was torture.

          Okay, that’s reasonable and I agree with you. But you missed the point. We’re currently shitting all over how bad OP sucks.

          Come on, grab a tomato. Go on, throw it at them! It’ll be fun!

        It’s because games like Call of duty rig matchmaking so you don’t win / lose all the time. Connection preference can make all the difference

        Edit: I appear to have stumbled into a rocket league focused discussion

          There are very few games from large companies that don’t tilt favor one way or another. Generally speaking though there is usually some way around this and much more skilled players will do better, but joe schmoe after an awesome game will always end up on the shitter team one way or another next game.
