Being the worst gamer in the friend group

Transcript

Being the worst gamer in the friend group is genuinely one of the most humiliating positions a person could be in. You're not even a teammate, you're a difficulty modifier. Every time you join a party, your friends have to mentally prepare for the fact that this next match is a 4v5. And the worst part, your friends be knowing you some trash too, they just don't say it. Nobody even asks what role you wanna play. They just start assigning you the safest job possible. Don't push, don't touch nothing. Actually, you know what? Just go hide. Do you know how hard it is to fight the enemy team while actively trying to protect the trash homie? I didn't want to get on this game roleplay. And I don't know why, but this walking consequence is always asking someone to get on the game. I'm genuinely sitting here playing with a gamer who has the reverse mightest touch. I'm not gonna lie, the trash homie is only good for one thing. They funny as hell. They bring balance to the party. Every friend group needs one.
