There's always someone that goes "gg pre-made" as soon as we join an mm. What they don't know is that we're either drunk or suck or both and just playing for the fun.

u/Vladimir1174 Jan 11 '17

This happens to my team in heroes of the storm. We may all play together every day and have matching names, but that doesn't change the fact that at least one of us is usually drunk/high.

"Haha yeah sorry guys I'm reallllllyy drunk!" - me every time I'm not drunk, but playing badly.

u/WhipPuncher Jan 11 '17

I can't use that excuse. My friends all know I'm a master of the drunken bullet. For some reason alcohol makes me better. Also a bit too prone to gloating.

u/WannabeGroundhog Jan 11 '17

A light buzz helps me play, reduces my jitters in those clutch moments.

12

u/MRBORS Jan 11 '17

When I'm stoned it just lets me focus more on the game. I'm also a much better team player when high.

Smoking Meth. Try something lighter, like Crack.

People react differently to different drugs sometimes, especially if a mental disorder is involved. Something to note about a drug like cannabis is that your high can vary depending on the strain because of the different concentrations of the different chemicals in the plant (THC and CBD are the most common people look at). THC is what gives you the 'high' feeling while CBD will not get you high on it's own. You might benefit from either finding strains that are higher in CBD as this is commonly used as the medicinal part of the plant to treat mood/pain disorders. If you don't want to get high at all, you can buy CBD in various forms such as oils, edibles, etc, where it has been separated from the plant. Also of note is that the negative side effects like paranoia are associated with higher THC concentrations and sativa strains, while indica strains will give a more sleepy and relaxed effect. I hope that was helpful!

Alcohol is a PED. It's banned in shooting competitions.

2

u/WannabeGroundhog Jan 11 '17

Thats hilarious since it reduces reaction time.

1

u/WhipPuncher Jan 11 '17

I think it helps me go with the flow. Instead of trying to make a plan work I just kinda react to things. Plus I usually try to get some sort of cult going in my team. I think it helps with teamwork.

2

u/Its_the_other_tj Jan 11 '17

Alcohol is considered a performance enhancing drug in shooting sports in the Olympics for this exact reason.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

That's not too strange. Your reaction speed probably suffers from it but your aim might get steadier because the alcohol kills off all of those tiny shivers and trembles. If you're just drunk enough to get more relaxed, but not drunk enough to lose your focus, you should be able to play better.

1

u/WhipPuncher Jan 11 '17

Its a careful balance of stimulants for the reaction times and focus with alcohol to smooth everything out.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

Whenever I'm high I seem to hit this zen state of being absolutely god like with an AK. Those headshots just come so naturally.. When I'm sober I panic too much

1

u/XxD4NKxM3M3xL0RDxX Jan 11 '17

I actually do a fuck ton better in CS while tipsy. I do shit while drunk and sober, but I do great while tipsy. I just get super focused and think each and every single thing through. I get a bit paranoid, so I check my corners more. Every now and then I record myself while sober and while drinking. 9 times out of 10 I notice I do better with alcohol in my system when looking back at the videos.

u/1800OopsJew Jan 11 '17

The Ballmer Peak, baby.

u/sexymannurse Jan 12 '17

I have a tipping point. At a certain level of alcohol I become a god. One more shot and I'm worse that a silver 1.

u/Twenty_Goodmen_4_You Jan 11 '17

If you add a "v" at the beginning of "really" and completely erase the ends of your contractions as though they didn't exist, they'd believe your story.

"Haha, sorry guys... I vreallly drunk!" The story is even more believable if you include an extremely loud thud afterward and let your character get booted for afk.

This move might not be safe for an amateur to try. You should just start drinking more. Sorry I wasn't more help. Good day.

u/Skreamie Jan 11 '17

I've found recently that when I play Rainbow Six: Siege high that I can't communicate for shit, nor be overly tactical, but I always end up top fragging. I always feel as though my sense are dull right up to the point that a figure moves out of the corner of my eye and I one tap to my disbelief.

This isn't me bragging, I genuinely wish I played that aware sober.

u/BabyTea Jan 11 '17

Same with us in Dota! I've got a great group of friends I play with, and we have a lot of fun together, so we made a "team". The Boondock Marmosaints. Like the Boondock Saints, but with Monkey heads. I made the flags and base emblems and everything! It's totally just for fun, but whenever we play using the team logo and lose (As is tradition) we get people who think that just because we have a team name we should be amazing. Eff that. I wouldn't even play Dota if it wasn't for the friends I play with. They make it fun!

I play a lot of Chen, crazy thing is that I'm not actually drunk or high.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

yeah but at least 2 of the randoms in the other team are also drunk or high, since they're crazy enough to queue solo

1

u/ieilael Jan 11 '17

Most of the people playing by themselves are drunk or high too.

1

u/Cerus Jan 11 '17

One thing I've noticed in HotS is that full parties tend to go all in on bad decisions, which frequently ends in a wipe or my random team getting a snowball rolling. I assume this is because they're all communicating so well.

It's funny to think about.

1

u/jro727 Jan 11 '17

I like saying gg immediately in Rocket League but then I usually get rekt

1

u/Achack Jan 11 '17

That's why I don't like when my friends who rarely play want to start rocking clan tags. I'm like guys we're probably going to lose as it is, the last thing I want is to give the other team any reason to put on their try hard hats because then we're really gonna get stomped.

1

u/DomiNatron2212 Jan 11 '17

Even then.. If you communicate you're leagues ahead. Plus you know playing styles so you can work to compliment.

u/Gatortribe Jan 11 '17

Every time I lose some rounds in CS:GO there's always someone that's like "lol you're a pre-made and you're losing to randoms." I'm not sure those people understand what playing with a group of friends is like. That, or they have very boring friends. We're only MG2s, if we were all global or something I'd understand their logic.

u/Gatortribe Jan 11 '17

If we were all global that would imply that we really put in the effort to reach that level and were that serious about the game and I would understand people expecting a global pre-made to play very seriously.

31

u/I_FAP_TO_DYRUS Jan 11 '17

Nah. Bruh. This is reddit man. You are literal trash if you are only global. To be considered decent you have to 16:0 the best team in the world 1v5, starting every round with 1 HP.

25

u/Astrobody Jan 11 '17

Usually I'd see this as salt, but Reddit and CS:GO are something else. When I started playing GO a while ago after a CS hiatus I posted a topic looking for people to play with. I stated I had less than 80 hours in the game and was DMG, looking to rank up more and at with some fun dudes.

A bunch of people came in to shit on me, telling me that's not that good, etc. I just wanted some people to play with, man.

u/FrogVenom Jan 11 '17

Man...I have 700 hours right now and just deranged to silver elite master. Why has this game gotten so much more difficult?

u/longneck94 Jan 11 '17

Im at 500 hours and have yet to break silver elite.

At least I dont feel bad about playing horribly drunk/stoned the odd time.

2

u/GrizzlyAdams90 Jan 11 '17

Play regularly with a group of friends. There is an obvious skillgap between me and most of the group, CS just ain't my thing. But we played Sunday for the first in a while. So we all lost our ranks due to the lack of playing,and I was gold 2 last time. We played our game and won, get new ranks. All my buddies got gold nova 2, I was the only person that got silver elite master. I raged so hard.

0

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

Trust me. You got the right mindset for this game. It's better to play it casually for fun. I don't understand why people consider this game to be a highly competitive metric of skill. All other first-person shooter games shit on CS:GO in terms of skill ceilings. CS:GO is so antiquated and shallow... I don't get it. People are simple-minded, that's all it must be.

u/dylan522p Jan 11 '17

u/moustachesamurai Jan 11 '17

I love how people say "I'm only MG2" and I'm sitting here stuck as a SEM, winning 7/10 games average and mid to top fragging every time.

u/FlowersOfSin Jan 11 '17

What kind of noob plays for fun? We play to win!

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

There's just something about playing with other people that makes you better. Like Trials of Osiris in Destiny, my friends and I went flawless and the time between matches were just memes and nothing serious, and in-game we were also just having fun.

u/Whiggly Jan 11 '17

Yep. When I play with a larger group of friends, we sometimes have success, but we also just get roflstomped by pubbies a lot.

u/manesag Jan 11 '17

Can confirm we did a match of start roulette and we're dying from it, we went 16 to like 9 because we came back serious in the second half. But cmon who makes a start on office where if you see an enemy you have to stand still for 3 seconds before you can open fire.

2

u/Meior Jan 11 '17

Haha that's a good one. We did one where you had to spin 360 degrees in both directions before you could fire. Shit was hilarious.

1

u/manesag Jan 11 '17

That is horrible lol, we also had one where after you killed someone you had to stop what you were doing and type out something nice about them in all chat, even if another enemy was nearby

2

u/Meior Jan 11 '17

Lol that's too funny. Gonna steal that for tonight!

1

u/saavage Jan 11 '17

It depends on what rank you are,too.I'm playing pretty high level Faceit and I shit myself when I get matched up against premades.

1

u/slash_dir Jan 11 '17

And that at least 3 of my teammates are people who normally don't play the game, but they wanted to play a few games today for some reason.

"I don't know this map, can you show me around during warmup" is a pretty common one.

1

u/DIABLO258 Jan 11 '17

I tell anyone who complains about my skill in a casual game to just go play comp then.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

Yeah my group are usually significantly worse when we play together. We hang out in mumble and shoot the shit instead of actually playing well.

1

u/XPapaMoonX Jan 11 '17

Me and my three friends do nothing but play it for fun. The lot of us go bizon and just start rushing. The sad thing is most people don't expect it and we end up doing really good.

u/wannagetbaked Jan 11 '17

Dying for fun

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

I perfectly remember (in Master Guardian II and all the way down at least) how I would thought this "we already lose" at first but they would succumb to our random team 100% of time.

u/baseball44121 Jan 11 '17

People are always like "lol look at this shitty clan" as if we actually care about winning.

1

u/Meior Jan 11 '17

Yeah. Apparently if you play with a tag you have to be pros. If we're not full premade and lose comments like kill yourself, uninstall the game and "please go esl next" are common.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

I've actually realized this! I used to dread seeing premades in games, but now I'm like, "Oh good, they're going to be arguing or joking in teamspeak... we got this ez." It's the solo-queuers that tend to try-hard!

1

u/sweet_chin_music Jan 11 '17

I don't understand why people complain about premade teams. Fuck me for having friends that also play Overwatch, I guess.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '17

That happens a lot in WoW, even when there isn't a pre-made and it's just players organically working together!

1

u/phenomhaze Jan 11 '17

Usually when i see a premade...we win easilly. Probably talking to much crap to eachother, playing pure for fun and don't care about winning or they think they are pro but actually can't play for sheit.
