    Playing with people leagues better than you even if you are carried to a win sucks. In a lot of games you don’t even get to actually play. You’re dead before you get a shot off or never get to touch the ball or you fall off at the first obstacle and end not even getting to finish the race because you’re so behind everyone else.

      That’s also true, and is often my experience in non-shooter games.

      However it does work out that the lowest common denominator doesn’t care if they didn’t do anything. They’re just happy to win. The couch casuals aren’t ever going to be great, so their standard of a great game is much, much lower than anyone who plays daily or even every few days
