Mid 30s, reflexes are fine, but it’s the motivation to put in intense concentration that’s gone. 8hr+ a day of work, house chores, cooking, working out, by the time I get to game I just don’t have the energy to do competitive multiplayer gaming and try. You kinda just want something to play that will help you relax and turn down the intensity.
1) I had to play a lot to keep up some skills. gets harder to put in that time.
2) had to focus on using fewer weapon/classes/gadgets to keep speed up
3) you think you're fast but then play some youths. It's another ball game.
4) can beat youths that don't play much or are not great at those types of games or really bad strategically.
5) My advantage over youths was outthinking the opponent especially when it comes to objective modes. although often strategy takes a backseat or can't work if the opponent is 10x faster.
6) Youths seem to pick up on or keep on all the little changes/features/workarounds/etc way better and way more. That also adds to their advantage. IT's gets harder keep up on that stuff.
Now haven't played in 2 years. Sold my gaming pc off during the mining bubble. Kept selling each new gpu I got and went that collapsed I never got a new one.
I think about playing Splatoon 3 that I have laying around on the Switch. But I haven't. I really liked competitive games and I haven't sworn off them. Just ..I don't know ...had my fill for awhile. A lot of it is not that many players on the internets like to play the team objective focused game.
If I could play in a "senior" league...I would probably be interested.
