So, after having played this game really intensively over a lot of time (maybe even a year), since around 3 months ago I've started playing this game less and less. Partly because of real life reasons (which is good), partly because I don't feel those vibes anymore when I play it. It's still lots of fun, but less than it was when everything (even something, actually) was fresh, new.

Sooo... The point is, that is leading to my skills shrinking. I'm playing worse every week. Hey, not a real big problem, I don't really care... But still, it's something I noticed and wanted to share with people :)

Aim is getting worse, positiong too... Reaction times are higher. My spatial awareness doesn't allow me anymore to keep track of all the 8 enemies on the map, those that I still haven't seen included...

So to sum it up, I'm slowly becoming a scrub. I'm getting old :P I'm sure it will take loooots of time, but still there will be a time when I get into a pug and get schooled by some new guy.

How about you guys? I'm sure I'm not the only one playing less and less these days... Any of the "old-timers" feel like this? :happy:

Scrubs are born, not made.

Think of it this way: through no effort of your own, the game is getting more challenging and therefore more fun to beat.

Silly Deerber, you were always a scrub. Everybody on the BSN is.

I'm actually playing less and less, though it usually doesn't take more than about half a game to get back to where I was.

I feel ya, been that way for a little while. I simply cant do more than 1-2 games when I do play. It's not that I don't like the game, far from it. I've just droped so many hrs into so many games... i dont feel it anymore. I get into moods though like... "i think imma go pop a few geth heads" and run my FQI Jav and do just that... then maybe say ya know, after that game "i think imma play ninja 1 more and go karate chop some phantoms w/ my shadow"

... and thats a wrap.

I'm almost not playing MP anymore, or any game for that matter - loluni. But, I was so good to begin with that I won't ever be a scrub :whistle:. 
I've had a few games recently and the feel comes back quite fast tbh. That being said, there isn't much to regain.

Don't know if I count as an old timer, but yeah, I know the feeling. I was playing less and less on Xbox, and I was getting crappier. Now I'm on lolps3 with a new manifest, so it makes sense to be worse, but my sense of enemy spawns & positioning is worse, and without flamer spam or combos, I don't really know how to handle armor.

I'm a scrub and therefore get no love...

also, have been on a mini-ME3 vacation. Tried a PUG the other day after not playing for a few weeks. Wow, did I stink up the joint :(

Great news! Consider a game or two booked during this weekend ;)

That's actually a nice way of thinking. Sadly, I'm afraid it won't achieve much, as possibly one of the main reason why I don't find the game nearly as fun as before is because I'm aware of all the BS we get every game. And there's a lot of it. And they tell me that once you see those things, you can't unsee them anymore... :unsure:

Yeah there's a first level where it takes less than a game to recover, to me. But then there's a deeper level, where I can feel that even when after that game, I'm still not doing as good as, say, 6 months ago :blush:

I used to be a pug, but apparently now I'm a scrub. I don't like it.

I got grabbed by a BRUTE today. Granted, I was trying the Venom on my DrellGuard, and I generally depend on the vibration of the brute steps to alert me of when they are behind me and I'm fending off banshees, but still. I feel like I'm getting worse too.
