I'm either too old or got tired of cheaters. I love games like THE FINALS or CS2 but sometimes I'm just exhausted and can't go on. Post multiplayer action games that are competitive but don't require too much mechanical skill or insane button sequences/APM
Not the focus on ACTION GAMES; I don't want shit like Worms or Hearthstone. There needs to be a realtime aspect involved or harsh time limits for moves/decisions. for example Chess would apply but only in the rapid or bullet variants.
>tl;dr
put simply, comp multiplayer games even my grandma could play and top leaderboards at?

so far what i've come up with
>Sea of Thieves
i love this game and with recent (questionable) balance changes it's arguably even more accessible
but instead of mechanical skill cheats you have straight up game systems cheats (flying, teleporting loot, disabling parts of your ship, server crashing, and so on) and it's unfucking playable with dogshit server performance and the growing list of bugs. also the devs are insufferable faggots.
>Splatoon 3
i don't need to say much here, nintendo just made the best shooter, period. I remember playing Splatoon 1 on Wii U a ton and tournament play was all about strategy and coordination. but it has a bit of luck involved.
>Rocket Leauge
now this requires a ton of mechanical skill and experience but you don't need to spam shit on your controller to be good (and you CAN be on top with a controller) and I could see my grandma becoming like a Champion at least in a year or so.
>Fifa/FC
we're hitting a low here but it's another example of what would apply
>Among Us/Project Winter
they fit the criteria so I'm adding it to the list as an example but it's not what I'm looking for
>some driving games?
but most of them rely on hitting precise movements, maintaining lines perfectly to score at the top, also some are just speedrunner type games where you grind out the same movements and shit for the top score which IMO is boring as fuck.

DBD. You can just main a killer and be a massive faggot to survivors. But it's grindy as shit, from what I gather.

>>1490746
Halo Infinite maybe, it's straightforward enough and pretty low apm.

Having to read this shit made me realize the amount of useless shitters infesting this site
go and play stardew valley nigger thats up to your speed

I feel you, fps online games are dead because zoomers just have insane aim and take out any tactical aspect of online shooters by just all aiming no braining everything. Plus there is also cheaters infesting every game that doesn't have some insanely invasive anti-cheat. I just stick with rts games where I can win with pure tactics and game knowledge even though my apm is dogshit.

Overwatch 2, Team Fortress 2 and The Finals. These games provide you plenty of powerful characters, weapons or gadgets that don't require mechanical skill to use. Many of Overwatch 2 characters were deliberately designed to not require insane aim to excel with.
You can also be a faggot and pick up a controller, let the aim assist do most of the work for you.

any game where mechanical actions are downplayed results in a situation where even at only the top 15% or so players are already perfectly optimal because the only real input required of them is making a (probably ore determined) decision every couple of seconds. fuckin lame, dunno why you would want to bother spending competitive effort on something like that. though I guess you don't really intend to spend effort at all, and neither do many others, which is why this sort of shit is so popular. the feeling of being competitive without actually doing anything involved with competition normally. ridiculous.

100% agree, but not for the reasons you're giving.
Left clicking heads isn't peak skill expression. It just isn't. No matter what the modern FPS landscape has taught you.
Modern "mainstream" FPS games are just cookie clicker at this point, everything has been cut away and only left clicking heads is left.
You have any kind of weapon or gameplay which doesn't specify left clicking heads as peak gameplay and you get shitters saying the game sucks.
You are COD brain-rotted, and your kind ruined the FPS genre.
I'm fine with accepting COD as it is.
But you fucks couldn't just let it be, and you all had to push and cry and whine about how every FPS needs to be cookie clicker, for some fucking reason, despite the fact that you faggots won't actually quit COD and will always go back to it after shitting on and ruining every other FPS on the market with your trash, shitter opinions.
Everything has to be hitscan with you retards.

DBD is weird because if you only watch the game or hear about it you would think that the skill floor is insanely low and that surely you can learn everything there is to know about the game in just a couple hundred hours.

Killer starts out being insanely easy, then at around 500-1000 hours you hit "max" MMR and will be frequently matched against survivors with 10 times as much playtime as you, at which point you have to take your lumps for a couple thousand hours before you're able to win consistently again.

Deep Rock Galactic may not be a competitive game, but it has supplied the needs I crave for after leaving THE FINALS for good.

I'd keep playing THE FINALS if it wasn't a massive clusterfuck of bugs to play under Proton, but that's a story for another day. Deep Rock Galactic it is.
