I am a fairly average player I tend to think and because I play with one friend only I tend to stick to public games and Duo's mainly. My lifetime overall KD ratio is something like 0.8, however this season so far its more like 1.2 . . . so average at best. If I play a solid evening session of maybe three hours in public games with my friend ( who is of a similar skill, maybe slightly better ) we might win 2 or 3, we might only win 1. That's ok though, I wouldn't want the game to feed me easy games, I am happy going against whoever and if i come out on top then great and if I get soundly thrashed by a higher skilled team then so be it.
Now, if I actually felt that I was so far outclassed by everyone around me then it might not be so fun, but would it stop me playing or make me try and get better? I don't know, probably the second option. That said, I do play a bit on my own and pick trios and honestly, the number of times I feel like the weak link compared to carrying the team is probably 50/50 even at my level.
This is all down to you personally and how much it bothers you to not be the best you can be. It's a fun game for me even though I know I can never compete with the real hardcore guys.
@Piabetic The problem comes when it feels like you are not making any progress whatsoever despite making great efforts. "Why do I even bother?" During much of that time I took off the game, I was still in the firing range for at least a half hour daily. My stats this season are still not tremendously improved, but I feel much more confident in my shot and movement which is giving me better chances in each individual fight I take. And that makes a lot of difference in enjoyment level. I can come out of a failed game now seeing what I did RIGHT, even after getting outplayed by a highly skilled player.
