    “I wasn’t burnt out of the game, I was burnt out using my brain “ honestly I wonder how many people get burnt out not on the game itself but just because they don’t want to have to think about insanely high IQ plays every game they play. Very good point dude!!

    • @reidtheninja

      Thank you man! Yeah I was thinking about that, I love the high IQ aspect of the game, but it also is intimidating to hop on if you're not ready to really put brain power in. And when you do anyway it starts to feel like you're trash 😂

      It can be absolutely exhausting if you do it every single day, for competitive I think it’s better to play every other day imo and let your brain rest, otherwise gaming feels like a chore.

    I actually had this with valorant. I started to have some bad habits and there were a lot of familiar situations that I stopped thinking about. Once I went back, I still had my core knowledge and intuition but I took each situation uniquely seriously and was able to completely re-evaluate my play.

      That's awesome you can relate this vid to even a different game and experience you had. I wonder how good I'd be if I went back to Val (I haven't played since the beta)

    Bro the watching pros thing is so true cuz I was moving from ME to NA like a few months ago, so I couldn't play for around 3 months, so I'd watch yt vids more and more and since it was lan season, everyone was talking about the top pros and storylines lime peterbot and pollo, clix and veno, vico and flixzy, and a LOT more others, so watching pros always makes me better and leaen more things that I naturally implement, and I realize sometime later that I'm doing these things that are making me a way better fighter and player. As soon as I came back to fn, I knew I was playing way better already, maybe partly cuz I would be getting around 26 ping in game, whereas I'd get like 50-60 ping in game on ME. So I relate to this so much. Also, one more thing, I also watch Aussie, Jivan, Kenbeans, and those types of UA-camrs, and K-dog and others, so we both are kinda the same 😄
    P.s: sorry for the long msg lol 😅

    I just got sick with mono and have also been taking a break so I’ve been doing most of this but it is still an amazing video and pretty interesting I hope after my break I can get better at the game too.

    Im fr with you played Fortnite since 2021 and played competitive from 22 end to 23. Since 2024 the game don’t make me happy cause it only takes me like 5 days to get unreal so there is no point in grinding ranked and I don’t like scrimping and playing for a long night just to get top 500or so in Solo CC. I play now maybe 4hours a week and only creativ and pub. Both modes I run easily trough without any challenges. So rn there is no motivation to play it and I like it that way. I make my money from maps and earn monthly maybe 50-100$ and to get this don’t need to practice my fighting skills. Everytime I hop on it’s a great time for 1h or so but as soon as I’m getting board I go to another game to have fun or go out. And I’m fr with you I really like threading gaming like this

    Did the same when I went to California this summer, when I came back home, I started doing things i had never did before and ping didnt affect me that much after this time, but my ping never changed, and I did not play during that 2 weeks in cali. And fun fact i also watched mrsavage at first then started watching avivv like you

    What’s currently happening to me is that I’m getting worse at the game one day I’m doing really good then the next I just can’t focus on the game my mind is somewhere else and I just feel like my hands are moving slower I’m missing more shots messing up a lot more idk what to do every day I just get more demotivated it’s not taking a break cuz I was already playing the game like 2-3 hours a week max then I started playing atleast 2 hours every day for like 2 weeks didn’t work now I’m back to barely playing the game mainly cuz of that it pisses me off seeing myself get worse and worse at the game
