Gaming moments where you just say, "I am not having the best luck here" or "I honestly suck at this"

[The Wykydtron]

Any coincidental mirror matches in League, I will feed horribly if I have to lane against it and I have no idea why. It's pretty much the only reason I stopped playing Blind Pick.

I have my bad moments sure, i'm learning mid lane properly now, particularly Ahri and Zed. Zed ain't too bad (press R, mash buttons) but Ahri is hard :S

It's alright to play in lane, piss easy once you get your totally overpowered Spirit Rush but I panic in real fights. I spent two sets of cooldowns running away from two people on 500HP firing everything AHEAD of me instead of behind me because I lost my cursor or something equally bad.

Don't even get me started on Syndra. Fun as hell but she has the highest skill cap in the game and nobody bothers learning her except PhantomL0rd. I bet she would wreck solo queue if someone was really good with her.

I'm fine at positioning. Definitely above average. I never get caught unless it's like warding Baron or something, even then I 100% see it coming but I really want these wards and I have Flash. Goin' in anyway.

Just as a side note. Anyone who complains endlessly about no wards when we have an inhib down mid is just bad.

"Leona place your wards"

"How can I leave base without dying? They're either at Baron or lurking in our jungle"

"Wards"

"I can't"

"Wards will win the game"

"HOW CAN I?!"

"Place wards"

So I walk into out jungle to drop one, immediately instakilled as expected. I hope he learned something that day.

 

[Blood Brain Barrier]

Any 1v1 fighting game - Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat ... those kind of games. Whether I try to learn moves or resort to button mashing nothing works and I can't do it.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

That happens about once every 10 minutes past the tutorial of Dark Souls. Hard game, but it's fair. Therefore, when you screw up, there really is nothing you can blame other than your own strategy lacking.

Playing Far Cry 3, I saw a camp of dudes and a hang glider. Me being extremely stupid, I decided to use said hang glider to glide over and land in the middle of everyone yelling "WHAT UP, BITCHES". It didn't go like that, I did land in the encampment, however about 2 seconds after this, everything when to shit when I got destroyed by Komodo Dragons and Cassowaries.

Also, whenever I play Civ on a higher difficulty, being murdered by Barbarians in the first 50 or so turns always throws salt onto a wound.

 

[Branindain]

Yeah, definitely League. I know I suck because I'm stuck in Bronze, but I've also been unlucky because I've made Silver promos 4 times and each time has been a running disaster of teams that got facerolled so hard Alex Ich couldn't have carried them.

 

[blaqknoise]

Every RTS game. I'm terrible at multitasking my units in those games and I'm no good at strategy either.

 

[Ticklefist]

They Bleed Pixels stands out as an example of sucking horribly at a genre I used to play just fine.

 

[Evonisia]

I thought this while playing Mirror's Edge. I've watched videos of the missions being done in 2-3 minutes when there's me on attempt #34. The controls on Mirror's Edge are just awful but when I was playing it I felt that I was just crap at it (well, not at the end).

 

[Baddamobs]

I am just...incapable of learning to race WELL. I can play games like Need for Speed for the first couple of levels, but as the difficulty piles on, I just...I struggle, let's leave it at that. At RTS games, I'm little better .

 

[RJ 17]

CoD back when I used to play it. Now to be fair, I've never been what you'd call "good" at that game. When everything averaged out I was...well...pretty average to slightly above average. I'd have some good games and go +5, some bad games and go -5, some GREAT games and go +10-15, some not-so-great games and go -10-15. So suffice to say, I tended to have my ups and downs. But there were some days when it just wasn't even worth turning on the console. EVERYTHING I'd do would be the wrong move. My timing would be absolutely atrocious (like I'd be watching a doorway for about a minute and a half, and when I finally decide to move to a position, someone comes through that doorway and shoots me in the back), I'd always be in the wrong place and get shot by the entire enemy team...basically everything that could go wrong would go wrong.

Left 4 Dead (either one of them)
Like with CoD, I'd like to think I'm "competent" at the multiplayer in that game. Not the best player, but not the worst. But there's some games where it just seems like EVERY special infected gets on you, one after another after another. And when it's your turn to be the special infected, every time you go to make your move, another survivor just HAPPENS to turn the corner and blows your brains out the moment you get on the person you're targeting.

 

[Maxtro]

Four Kings in Dark Souls.

Thankfully I was playing on PC and was able to turn on invincibility with a cheat, or else I would have never got past that part. I didn't have to cheat for anything else. They just required obscene amount of deaths to get past.

 

[Hawk of Battle]

My current experiances at Magic; The Gathering are this, especially at FNM. I can usually do pretty well, beating my opponent down slowly, then all of a sudden they pull off some some unblockable combo I can't counter, or some trigger effects goes off and I just... lose.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Demon's Souls, now and then. I feel if I'm anything less than perfect while playing, critters goan fuck me over.

 

[proctorninja2]

Every time I try and play a sealed event in Magic the Gathering

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

luck can be a huge component whenever I play Blood Bowl. I can try to go in with a game plan but sometimes the dice just seem against me and way too much in favor of my opponent.

 

[Guffe]

Getting fast at strategic games, like Warcraft and Starcraft etc.
I enjoy the genre but getting good at it, no way -.-

In FPS
I play Deus Ex at the moment, and I noticed very quickly that I need to upgrade myself so that I can go sneaky through missions, like stealth, the "beat down walls" thing to find hidden paths etc. Because whenever I try to go head to head with the enemy I just die!

 

[lachlan4567]

Literally any of the secret bosses in any of the Kingdom hearts games.
I'll beat you one day Sephiroth, one day...

 

[Amir Kondori]

Mount and Blade Warband MP. That game is brutal, especially b/c the people who play regularly have been, for the most part, playing for years, and will decimate you at first.
I have gotten a little better but I still have many more deaths than kills by the end of the round.

 

[AlbertoDeSanta]

Sniping. In any game. I've been trying to practice at it, but I'm just not that good at it. I've gotten better though, which is really good. Always try and get better at the things you suck at, unless they can get you killed, in which case you should stop.
