>i can feel the matchmaking is being manipulated in almost every game
If you look for patterns your brain will create them. What was once just called bad luck is now an algorithm rigging everything. People throw matches because they assumed before they even queued that it was a designated loss and their team then calls them an EOMM agent. People will insist every aspect and moment of a match is rigged and manipulated in such a sophisticated way that it's impossible to prove by the same developers that routinely prove their incompetence at implementing basic features without breaking something.

No Rabbi. If you begin to look for patterns its because subconsciously you've already began recognizing them.

Idk if this is what you're referring to; but as a kid playing things like Socom 2, you would have cheaters using lag switches that would be blatant as hell, now days Dead By Daylight cheaters increase their movement speed by 3%. I call them "subtle cheaters" so they get reported less often(?). These are way more common than you realize nowadays. Its way too easy to cheat in games now. The normal person couldnt actually compete against me in a game, whether or not im older and my reaction time is worse.

Read the entire post.
Im well above average at video games, ive wasted 2/3rds of my life playing them. I SHOULD be better than 90% of people. The fact that my win rates in any game are closer to 50% or less means the average person either puts as much time into video games as i do, or its become more prevalent to subtly cheat in most games.
Which is more likely?

just because you spend a lot of time practicing something, doesn't mean you're good at it. real life isn't a video game. if you spend 1000 hours cooking but you only make burnt toast instead of actually learning to cook, you won't be a michelin chef, you'll be a guy who wasted 1000 hours of your life burning toast

also the fact that you think you're good at "video games" as a whole due to time spent really tells me you're just some asshole. i met one of the best players of a competitive fighting game in the world. i crushed his ass in dance dance revolution. he couldn't even complete a song on light mode. being good at 1 genre of video game =/= being good at all video games

This.
This right here.
Hammer meet nail.
I used to run a 32 spot CS1.6 server and did so for years.
Had a dedicated crew of regulars, amazing clan full of hilarious characters, randos would stop by, have fun, and keep coming back. It was an absolute nightmare to get in there if you weren't an admin.
An admin was almost always on to nail fucking cheaters or the oddball misanthrope,or make sure things didn't get too far out of line.
We would run just "fun" maps every Monday after 11pm Eastern and just let the players decide what they were going to play. Those became a huge draw.
Scoutzknivez, L337Sk33t, blahhh, gahhh and duhhhh or hideandseek or whatever.
Some of the people I played with back then are still my friends in real life.
That sense of community is gone. Cheaters are rampant, advertising slop everywhere, monitizing, etc etc etc.
Fuck I miss that shit.
