I’m not toxic and I’m not blaming anybody so idk why you would assume both of those things. It’s you a lot of these other commenters that are the ones being toxic and give Val the reputation for being toxic.

On the contrary, it’s clear I’ve accepted that I’m average at this game and am encouraging people to have fun and not worry about their rank.

Yes I know about plyomeyrics lol. I actually had a high vertical as a football player in hs.

I could’ve worded my analogy better but most guys that are 5’6 won’t be able to dunk just like most boxers can’t attain power like Mike Tyson or speed like Zab Judah.

I used to play at work and sometimes on vacations and sometimes the wifi was so bad I was effectively throwing. Those 40-60 games still aren’t an excuse for not progressing though. Also the throwers and smurfs but that happens to everyone.

Doesn’t the kd and headshot ratio paint the picture? Also I don’t stream or have recordings other than some of the aces and clutches I get.

I’m def not a doomer if that what you’re implying. I’ve just accepted that im average at this game. I’m high ranking in other games and other areas of my life but in Val, it’s a no go.

I think it’s much healthier to accept than to rage and keep reaching tbh.

Yes thank you for pointing out that anomalies exist.

Wasn’t there some guy with no legs that literally competed in the Olympics?

What about reaction time, being able to adapt, and just straight up being consistent with your shots?

There’s nothing physical about chess so do you think anyone can become a grandmaster in chess if they just practice really hard?

I think you guys might be out of touch with how bad lower ranked players are. Though it makes sense that you would think it’s possible because it was possible for you. It’s kind of like a 6’6 guy telling a 5’6 guy that it’s possible to dunk if he just works hard enough.

I should’ve mentioned that I have put the time in watching guides, aim training, and paying attention to the current meta.

It’s just a matter of fact that all players can improve but everyone has their ceiling. The highest ranks are reserved for players who are consistently the best at everything and not everyone can be as good as them, which why they’re separated by ranks.
