There is the other side. When everyone is playing so badly that there is no fun at all. Even on the ranks. All your efforts go down the toilet.
What game does this happen with?
I'd say League. Games may not start that way but they can end up that way pretty quickly. Like, people can play well in certain states. Once they get out of that state they may pay like shit. E.g get killed twice in quick succession and they start doubting themselves or playing to aggressive trying to catch back up and keeping making mistakes as a result.
Being able to keep a level head is as much a skill as anything else.
Fair point.
It does make me think how many people would describe a good player as a overly competitive player. It's completely subjective and up for interpretation
Folks who play professionally are often both. I don't think that's really all that subjective.
