Is it normal to just... fall off, and not be as good at gaming? Because I feel like I've been getting worse for a while now.

34 and I definitely feel like my ability in competitive shooters is getting worse, im finding I lose quite a few 1 vs 1 in Apex just because I'm missing my shots at times. When I was younger more often than not I would have made those shots (I was a very good at Halo, Unreal Tournament, Gears of War and even COD in my twenties).

On the plus side I do feel I'm a smarter player now, relying more on tactics to get the drop on people and timing my fire fights whereas I used to rely on reflex and aim.

Regarding solo games, I still tend to play normal difficulty as a first playthrough but I'm generally far more chilled about things like challenge, my game time is more limited these days so I'm just looking for the odd hour or 2 to have a bit of fun
