A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Competitive games for gamers with slow reflexes (lemmy.zip)

Back then I played Warcraft 3 ladder games and I hit my skill ceiling quite fast because my micro was simply too bad/slow. I still very much enjoy real time strategy games. Is there any real time strategy game that is played competitively with an active community where micro is not that essential? (Ruling out Star Craft 2.) Besides real time strategy games, what other games are out there being played competitive with an active community and where clicks-per-second are not too important?

Rocket League, f2p, one of its kind, high skill ceiling, reflex is not that important but does require practice and time commitment to play at higher level. I am 45yo and usually play around champ 1~2 in both 2s and 3s queue and only solo queue.

It's fun even at lower level unless you run into smurfs, but that will happen to every game.

There are no active cheat that gives cheater significant advantage. After last time dev ban bot users(first and only time since 2015) I have not run into any bot users online.(which means auto ban works really well). There are macro users but since it's macro they can't change what it did, and mostly only useful for kick offs.(which you can adapt and intentionally guide the ball where you want.) So it's easy to beat once a you play more. (Oh, and they ban those as well, so don't do it.)

i was always under the impression that RL was a mechanically-intensive game. my reflexes are really bad so i feel like i couldnt really even get good at the game. how did you start out playing and how long did it take before you felt like you got the hang of the game? its still something id love to play
