He’s emotionally stunted and unable to validate himself, leading him to seek external validation at every turn. Sometimes that’s being the World’s Most Divorced Dad on Twitter sharing stale memes. Sometimes it’s trying to brag about being the Best Gamer, no matter what that looks like, be it ranking in Overwatch or paying someone to lead in Path of Exile for him. Ironically he has been completely poisoned by and subsumed into the cultures of nonstop competition for meaningless points that gaming corporations create and maintain to keep players playing. When he gets exposed it just makes him look like an even bigger loser, like his holistically awful Elden Ring build. If a normal person shared their terrible ER build they’d get pointers on how to improve it, but the Technoking of SpaceX is such an egotist that it just adds fuel to the fire.

It’s entitlement. People who think “I’m good enough to be in the highest ranks, it’s my stupid teammates that stop me from being there!” and so they get boosted. They don’t realize having shitty teammates is part of any game and knowing how to deal with those players is a skill itself.

But since they’re antisocial nerds who treat other people like shit in real life and online, they never learn. There’s an overlap between misogynistic assholes and shitters who get boosted.

Refusing to talk to the type of people who play Overwatch would be the most intelligent thing he’s publicly done.

nd doesn’t use the mic.

Using mic is actively detrimental in Overwatch until at least Diamond these days. 99% of people genuinely get better results by turning it all off

I can’t seem to get the page to load. What rank was he? Silver boosted gold? Edit: Holy crap I found it. He was a bronze torb main. I’m dying 😂

With a bit of fiddling deepseek gave me this tamper monkey script, appears to work on my end:

    const observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {

How about filtering “Musk”?

Cause Elon is an ebic engineer just like Torb, of course.

I’m surprised he didn’t main bastion.

And he was hard stuck bronze. I’m dying 😂 😂😂

Bronze is the lowest level of combatant. Torb is a guy that built turrets so you didn’t actually have to aim yourself. So he is playing the least skill based position and at a low level.

If you had really good tactical awareness it could be a valuable character to have on a team. I was a gold level torb at one point. But it was about map awareness and positioning and not mechanical skill.

lol
