Skill Issue Or System Issue: the tilt loop gets no vote
A quick framework for separating personal mistakes, structural friction, and ordinary competitive frustration.
The tilt loop has one job: make every problem look global.
Run the split. Skill issue: the same mistake follows you across different matches. System issue: the same friction hits many players in the same visible pattern. Bad beat: annoying, real, and not a theory of civilization.
If you cannot name the category, do not post the verdict yet. The fastest way to lose the argument is to let one bad match write the patch notes in your voice.
Grounding note: generic player-behavior framework; no specific patch, exploit, cheat, or developer claim.
