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.

Your reflexes definitely get worse. We are talking a fraction of a second but the whippersnappers have that fraction of a second advantage.

In a lot of sports, including e-sports, experience will compensate for that up to a point. There's a sweet spot of reflex to experience as well. In some sports it's around 30yo.

I find myself trending to more thinking, strategic, but turn-based games nowadays. If I'm playing a reaction (twitch) -based game it's probably not going to be against other humans.

I mean, I don't suck or anything at all, but I used to absolutely dominate and now I just kinda own.
