In able bodied people if someone can't improve at competitive games they are also completely useless at other things. The skill that makes you good at games is analytical ability, it's the skill that allows you to learn and get better at something. If you can't analyse a situation and recognise "I need to change x to get a better result" then you're going to be garbage at absolutely everything.

It's a really basic problem solving ability and he doesn't have it. He's shit at everything, I guarantee it.

Some people play video games to relax, they don't try to get better at them.

Sure and there's nothing wrong with that.

But there's casual for that, and this is about ranked modes.
