Being good at video games is genetic.

[deadbydecember]

Might be cope but, you ever realize how some players play longer but are still worse then newer players? Or how a retired old players comes back and slams a really good new player? It has to be genetic and testosterone related and Mabye even ego related. Some people get really mad when they lose “how did I lose to that guy he’s terrible” believe it or not your ego can get your far, not just in video games but that’s beside the point. Being high test can contribute to being good in videos games because you don’t fold under pressure as much when your put in stressful situations. This is why some people don’t like being told what to do when they’re teammate is spectating them telling them “don’t push” like nigga Shutup I got this

Not really, I'm not unemployed

It's true. All competitive games like CoD or 2K etc are based on reflexes and coordination. In fact its even more discriminating than sports.

yea i have rank 1 league pretty decent at fps games and clash royale i think its related with iq and reflexes
wish i had better face instead that buff

dnr but its true

probably less IQ and more reaction time and training. But reaction time/ processing speed is pretty weakly correlated with IQ

you might be true im trying not to look egoist or anything but im really good at any game i play and i have 120 + iq so i thought its about iq
my other stats are pretty bad tho

Omg that’s so me

What the fuck are you talking about

Yeah man, tell that to the Olympic sprinter whose literal career depends on shaving off 0.01 seconds from their reaction time. Or to a UFC fighter dodging a punch with split second timing. But nah, for real, Jamal missing a 3 pointer in 2K after drinking 2 cans of Monster is clearly the peak of human performance.

 

[looksmaxxed]

a lot of videogames is creative problem solving. when i watch videos of other people play i get exasperated at how slowly they figure things out

then there's the reflex aspect for shooter games, the top performers are always high iq (reflex is correlated with iq), but the very top are almost always speds and spergs. there's a point where they turn into machine-like idiot savants.

best overall test for genetic fitness are study sims(memorization and systematization), strategy games(planning), and tactical shooters(reflex and problem solving)

You are just randomly mixing concepts and rambling without any knowledge of their core definitions and meanings, while also going out of your way to use some demagogy.

A professional let's say basketball player apart from the fact that he wins the genetic lottery against 99.9% of the population he also has a big margin of improvement and dependance on his own self discipline, and he can definetly outperform his peers on that sense from high school on by taking care of external factors like diet, training, recovery, etc, unless he is really extremely talented and even then there is a big gap between very talented players who didn't give a damn about practice (Say Iverson) and those who did (Kobe for example), even though might have been more genetically gifted than the other (Say in football Nazario or Ronaldinho compared to CR7)... Lots of examples of less talented players who outperformed careers just by pure practice and self discipline against their other also genetically more gifted colleagues, except on some very specific sports which are certainly dependant 100% on genetics.

When it comes to videogames you just sit your ass playing Team Deathmatch on Call of Duty without any real discipline except maybe watching a couple of videos of how to put controller sensitivity, how to take cover on such and such map, etc, until one day someone notices your K/D ratio, checks if you are a hacker and if you are not they contact you. When it comes to 2K you just create an all tattooed player, pay 200 dollars on VC and sit your ass in the park and rec dribbling until one day some dumbass who played against you happens to be making a pro am team and chats with you.

You are conflating almost subconsciously yet foolishly purposefully "Merit" with "Genetics" and making a nonsense salad. No one says NBA players are meritless or that esports players deserve anymore respect, in fact as a muslim i see esports players as close to worthless scum. And also the argument itself showcases lack of place awareness due to you not understanding the societies in which we unfortunately live on. In fact, you should be the one who needs to go and tell to the labourer who works like a slave 14 hours a day all week long in the scorching sun in Bangladesh that LeBron from the Lakers gets paid more in just 2 hours than him during his entire lifetime just because he exercises a couple of hours a day. Current world is not based on merit or "The one who does the more effort gets paid the most", it's based on "The one who caughts the most people's attention and makes them lose their time the most is the one who gets paid". Yeah you go tell the doctor in Gaza who works 24 hours a day in the operating table cutting limbs without anesthesia to children that there is a bitch on onlyfans making in barely 3 hours more money than him in his entire lifetime salaries combined, that's capitalism and any interest based economic system for that matter.

Nigger wrote a full PhD dissertation because I said 2K gamers aren’t elite athletes. You really sat there comparing Kobe Bryant’s work ethic to Jamal spamming snatch backs on a boosted MyPlayer.

You basically reinforced my whole point real athletes combine elite genetics and discipline. Meanwhile, the average gamer’s idea of ‘grinding’ is watching controller sensitivity videos and drinking Monster at 3 a.m. You said it yourself, dudes stumble into esports off a high K/D and luck. There’s no grindset, no physical stress, no actual stakes.

And then you detour into capitalism, Gaza, and OnlyFans like you accidentally opened your sociology midterm instead of replying to a thread about gaming. Congrats, you turned a simple roast into a manifesto. All that to say: gaming isn’t a flex.

It is better to express oneself properly than to say stuff like "Nigga ain't nobody got time for that cuh" while wrapping it with demagogy seeking for outsider approval desperately.

I literally ridiculed Jamal's work ethic in comparison with that of Kobe Bryant, but since you have no argument you just resort to "Hahah look at the sky instead of my face". You are too ignorant to come to such understanding.

And what did i said at my first comment, dumbass??? What did i exactly expose??? If there is no grind on something, IT MEANS IT'S MORE DEPENDANT ON NON CHANGEABLE FACTORS LIKE GENETICS, EXACTLY AS I SAID IN THE FIRST COMMENT, and all you did like a bitch was mix genetics with effort and tell me "Muh tell that to Usain Bolt dude". Yeah, i say to Usain Bolt straight to his face that an esports player is more dependant on genetics in his craft than him as a sprinter, who is both dependant on genetics and constant relentless effort... but you are too dumb and arrogant to think for 2 seconds and come to that conclusion, rather you just prefer to take it as if it was a me vs you, a battle of pride, instead of humbling yourself and learning from the one who is more knowledgeable than you, like a true wise sage would do. And since i saw and recognised that kind of attitude, i'm not going to take any of that BS or play passive and peaceful like a faggot, YOU WANT A BATTLE YOU GOT A WAR.

Obviously gaming isn't a flex, that's what i repeatedly said and exposed even more than yourself. You are just too young or ignorant to understand anything i'm saying, but you don't have the balls to recognize it due to arrogance.

You wrote an entire emotional novella just to end up agreeing with me. You basically spent 800 words proving my point: esports isn’t about grind, discipline, or physical resilience like real sports, it’s mostly reflexes, luck, and screen time. That’s exactly what I said.

And yeah, you dragged in capitalism, Gaza, and OnlyFans in a thread about gaming. That’s not deep, that’s just scatterbrained. If your argument needs a global tragedy to land, you’ve already lost the plot.

You keep calling me ignorant while repeating my points with extra steps. Just say you got triggered and move on it’ll save you a lot of typing next time.

It doesn’t matter what you said, because i said it first, and then you came with your bitch ass comment clearly barely having understood mine and then repeated what i said but instead of just saying "You are right", you framed it as if i was wrong and even worse than that you tried to seek desperate outside validation by somehow putting yourself as this martyr for the sake of "the ones who put effort in their craft".

And what's worse is that you are now recognizing it but instead of just saying "ok no problem my fault" which i would have accepted, you try to make it as if i was the one copying or answering your dumb argument when it's the other way around.

And yeah, you dragged in capitalism, Gaza, and OnlyFans in a thread about gaming. That’s not deep, that’s just scatterbrained. If your argument needs a global tragedy to land, you’ve already lost the plot.

Why exactly did i lost the plot?? It's called elaborating, and im not a faggot that cowards and hides his cowardice behind "muh do not speak about politics". You haven't addressed shit, in fact you don't even have an argument because now the ball is on your roof and still has been since like 3 comments ago, all you have is switching goal posts on the run... Everytime i expose your utter ignorance and arrogance you just change to "Muh you lost the plot because of this new requirement i just came with", we can keep like that all day if you want

Alright i'll make up a new standard like you. The moment you use an emoji you have list the plot, what about that one hahahah

You keep calling me ignorant while repeating my points with extra steps. Just say you got triggered and move on it’ll save you a lot of typing next time.

Funny because your comment was answering to me merely using a few words and you wrote like 5-10 times what i wrote to basically say "Muh you are wrong and i'm right, but actually you are completely right".

Just say you are ignorant, completely misunderstood my first comment while trying to gain approval react points and move on, it'll save you a lot of typing next time.
