Me as a gamer.... Do I suck?

[Sagt]

As long as you have teammates to blame if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter if you suck

Yep. Although I don't wanna end up a rager... you know, the one who's catchphrase is "YOU GUYS SUCK" or "WE LOST ALL BECASUE OF YOU"

Though it can be true at times...
Just remember to be honest when it won't have a negative effect or when it actually matters.

Lots of the top placing players in online games are self-titled "professionals" who play the game(s) for 8 hours a day. Outside of those games, they have no other life. i'm not going to say that all of them are losers, but a staggering number of them "pwn n00bs 24/7". Your score shouldn't matter, so long as you're having fun. Take artists for example. They draw to get better, they paint to relax, they design to express themselves and they do it TO HAVE FUN. Games are an escapist pastime. if you're not having fun playing a particular game, maybe it just isn't for you. if you really want to put in the time to get better, that's fine too, but don't feel discouraged by the performance of the others around you. if you can, learn from them.

Oh, and most people don't care what kind of "gamer cred" you have. if they do and it upsets you, find better friends. Games are supposed to be fun.

Wait... Was there a pun in there??

I didn't think I started PUNishing you guys yet. ;P

Maybe, but the thing with splatoon is, I didn't really care if I lost for some reason, and if I get to passionate about my teams preformance, that might change

Agreed. This is why I usually avoid the competing online function of games (exept for splatoon, for obvious reasons) because I can't pretend to be a BAWS in my own little overworld lol. And even when I do go online, I obviously don't carry this behavior over, but I can enjoy myself

I'm pro at Splatoon and I rarely play it... It didn't take long to get good at it for me...

Same here, but if my teammates and I are doing great and then there's a disconnection error, well, that sucks...
But if my teammates are literally just not doing anything, I'll try again.
I know for a fact I could beat any of my friends on a one v one, but if I'm doing one v three or four, then I'm screwed.
I can't be good if there's no one to back me up.

Hold up, Pokemon is one of thoses rare games where you can play like a "pro" or just pick the ones you like and play like that. Its for everyone, some like the challenge of breeding the perfect poke, others do team battles with nothing but lvl 100 Arceus they got through hacks.

I fucking love pokemon, I try and use only the ones I like, and use their movesets to balance and counter any weaknesses they have.

Flygon is amazing, Ground/Dragon with abilty levitate. It can learn flying, steel & fire type moves too! Pretty well rounded unless hit with water/ice but pair it with a strong steel or electric type and theres a nice team for online battles.

 

[ariamis]

if you can move and aim at the same time, you are good enough.

wait... that's not something most people do?

Not in Pokemon

How does one "aim" in pokemon?

Ugh this makes me want to PUNch someone.

This reminds of one of my issues with the pokemon games general. Flygon is a prime example of a pokemon that is completely out-classed by a pokemon of a later gen that being garchomp who is also Dragon/Ground but is better in almost everyway. In addition, they never give pokemon like flygon any love such as new moves, items, or forms. Pokemon Sun and Moon have even gone so far as to have things like the battle tree that is an offline mode, but the pokemon are created as if they were made for online competitive meaning sooner or later your pokemon that weren't perfectly bred or natured will start to feel pretty ineffective.

Oops! I accidently went on a rant. Oh wells.

I dislike Garchomp for that reason. And since it was a league champs main pokemon it gets tons of attention. Yet it lacks some of the better abilities of Flygon. If Cynthia had used Flygon instead, it would get new moves and shit. That's how it goes.

What's more bothersome to me is how Luvdisc, Dunsparce, Jynx, Pineco and Shuckle are actually pokemon. Who thought that using those designs was a good idea?

 

[Xaroin]

Dude, I've played vainglory for 2 years and I'm still only in the third highest tier. That shit takes time.

Well, they need joke pokemon to fill the 'dex, right?

 

[ariamis]

wait... that's not something most people do?

its basic fps. if you can do that, you dont suck. im running a 5.2 k/d ratio in titanfall rn, so im pretty dang good.

 

[Maximus B. Panda]

Yes. I can the "360" in your user name.

 

[Louise955]

I can relate. I play Pokemon a lot, but never got too deep into the competitive aspect of it. Also I just cannot play fast-paced pvp games. It's just too stressful xD

Yeah. I like splatoon because it gives you something to focus on other than killing people.

 

[Karpish McKarp]

You are toally right. You also share my motiff with pokemon (I like this pokemon? IMA RAISE IT. Didnt get a good IV? DONT CARE I HAVE THE POKEMON)

Haha! And don't get me started on the nature thing! "Timid nature? ... THAT SOUNDS ADORABLE!! I'mma keep it."
I actually don't like keeping aggressive ones because they sound angry. "Oh... You're angry all the time? Welp. Into the box you go~"

Heehee. Professional pokemon players who took the game way too seriously would hhaattee me~

Yeh. I don't even look at the natures. Probably the biggest thing I might worry about is gender. For some reason.

 

[AdelynBlair]

I feel like you enjoy gaming then that is all that matters. I am probably pretty bad at gaming but I enjoy it so that is all I care about.
