    You can get invested in getting good at a game or sport, just don’t get good at basketball and then get mad when they make you play other adults and won’t let you play on a middle school basketball team lmao.

      It’s wild. Activision doesn’t help matters by obfuscating how it works, not just using raw Elo, and patenting conspiracy fuel (no evidence it exists let alone is used).

      It’s mostly just gamers not wanting to admit they aren’t as good as they thought they were.
