So, we have to adjust our expectations to match reality? Just, settle for the way things are and live with it? Nothing can ever be improved. This is just how life is?

Or maybe it’s just cause life sucks.

Who gives a shit either way? You’re not an inanimate object, you’re a human being. Don’t wait on life to fling you forward, do it yourself

Nah fuck this, idc that this is a get motivated sub. As a (former) burnt out gifted and talented kid (im an adult now) let me say that work isnt always worth it even if you have potential. It is okay and entitely valid for anyone to just...exist. you dont judge a rose for not growing longer or being bigger even when it could be, you just delight in the knowlege that is is there, and just its existance brings beauty into your life

I don't know anything about that game in particular so what i say may or may not apply.

They say that you need 10.000 hours of practice to master something. Anything. 10.000 hours is roughly 10 years.

I played league of legends and chess for that amount of time and still sucked. The reason i didn't improve is because when they say practice, they mean hard work, which is different than just playing around.

When i wanted to improve i spent more time analying my games, finding mistakes teying to figure out to fix them for the next time. Only when i had no solution i googled wuat othera did in that specific example. Another thing i did was look for chess and LoL guides, video explanations, spent 30-60minus practicing specific skills i lacked. I more about games itself, read ever patch of LoL, general important things about stages of the game, general strategies,... Lastly, i found a communities, played with them, exchanged advice and references, asked for tips,...

I did slowly but consistently get better, however, peronally, it took out all the fun out of the game and i don't have ambitions of becoming a pro player. So i stopped practicing and just continued playing for fun.amd with that, my progress also stopped.

I believe that all pros spent a lot of time practicing hard, and if you want to stay competitive you need to not only beat them in practice, but also find an edge anywhere you can.

I don't know if this reply is useful to you but i wish you find a way to break the plateau and continue growing as a player.
