They'll say, "Hey, this hero is overpowered. I'm having trouble advancing; I can't climb ranks. You know, the matchmaking is rigged against me.
" They'll think all these kinds of things, and people will counter them. I don't know if you guys have ever seen this, but sometimes people will say, "Hey, I want help with something," and someone will offer help, and they'll say, "No, no, no, no, no! That doesn't work!

Some people will be 30 years old and incredibly successful; they will adapt, they will change, they will improve. Conversely, some people will be 30 years old and will be behind. What is the main reason for this?
