I think Twitch streams have recalibrated my impression of game skill in a negative way. I'm so used to watching extremely high skill, my own skill feels demoralizingly bad in comparison.

@snglttrs @Celestalon That's exactly why I watch you and JJ. That German rage hits different.

@Celestalon I think this is definitely true for me. It's hard to manage my expectations when I see how well others play, which isn't nearly as bad for games that I play but don't watch on twitch.

@tmidander I don't think I've watched more than 5min of Wild Rift streams. I'm Emerald, which is probably like top 10% or something, and I constantly feel like I suck.

@Celestalon I feel the opposite. I’ve learnt so much about HS in general thanks to twitch streams, and I strongly believe it has made me a better player. Seeing pro players deal and react to situations, have given me a better sense of agency over my own gameplay.

@Gambito_HS Those aren't mutually exclusive. It's no doubt that I'm more skilled for watching high skill streams of any game.
