And on the flip side of this there’s people who barely spend any time in the game beating no-lifer’s causing them to finally rage quit the game.
This is far more rare than you'd think. When you're playing games at the highest level it's not just skill, there's a layer of play where you're basically exploiting because you're so in tune with the game you can take advantage of effects that last milliseconds.
When I played competitively if I joined a random server, I'd sweep about 1/3 rounds. I took the moniker fishy because I'd been banned from so many servers for "hacking" and an admin said "IDK if you're hacking or not but you're fishy..."
Yeah, beating someone who takes a game super serious is super unlikely...
About the only exception was seeing some people who took fighting games seriously in some fighting games the rando pressing random buttons was hard to beat.
The strat for those people is make a gap and be cheap as hell with ranged specials.
I was the press random buttons guy that kicked ass at Soul Caliber 2.
