I usually play with my SO and as kind of an experiment there are certain mechanics they refuse to explain to me, and I literally can't figure them out. But if it is explained to me what to watch for, I will do that mechanic every time at a savant level. Just don't ask me to figure it out on my own. If its more complicated than a puddle on the ground to move out of it, I can't figure it out.

And im perfectly okay with this. I have great people to play with most of the time, and as I have often lamented this games stories, music, world and community mean far too much to me to let something like my skill interfere with my gameplay LOL
Thank you for sharing

I'm very much the same - as I said, I don't seem to remember mechanics at all. Doesn't matter how often I play whatever the content is, if it's anything more than a yellow circle on the floor it's very likely going to hit me.

Unfortunately, unlike you, I do become discouraged. I mean, I quite often queue/play with friends - but even then, following a run which involved my performance being dog**** per usual, one of my best friends said "you really did die a lot in that run".

What really sucks is that I really have tried to be better - guides, advice, practice. It just doesn't work.
