(I'm just an average player, but actual silvers are on something)

How it is so hard to believe that a person who has never played fps games, has no understanding of positioning, spray control and has in general, shit aim. You should see me play RTSs, someone would prolly think I'm brain damaged. But thats because I've never played them more than few games of Age of Empires, not because I'm inherently/naturally shit at RTSs.

I could say "I cant believe how someone can be MGE, they are absolute retards, I got placed in MGE after 10 games and it takes someone 300 games to get there, how can someone be so bad?"
But that wouldn't be very true and would make me a bit of a cunt. I've played FPSs most of my teenage years competitively and spent thousands of hours competing in cod4 promod. So it took me like 200h of gametime to get to supreme, but does that make me a superior FPS player and a naturally gifted superhuman. Fuck no, I've played a shit ton of FPS games before. The same goes for most activities, sure there are outliers but in general the morre you practise something, the beter you are.

Of course there are people who dont learn, don't improve and dont care, but mostly silvers are just new people. What you are saying is comparative to Mike Tyson saying"I just went to a boxing ring with a CSGO pro and beat the shit out of him, I can't believe how bad some humans can be at fighting" You are doing something you have exp or alot of interest in vs someone who has almost none. No shit they seem absolutely garbo compared to you. You're basically just mocking someone who has little experience in a certain activity, and frankly that makes you a bit of a cunt.

A lot of silvers use bad hardware, or try to use a controller because it's what they're most familiar with. It took me 100 or so games trying to get out of silver when I started.

Not saying that you have to have amazing equipment to play videogames, but what I am saying is that making fun of someones bad/lower tier computer is not super cool, unless that guy is your friend etc. It doesn't make you a better player.
