Dark Souls, Civ, Star Craft, Touhou SHMUPs, Touhou 2D Fighting, Divinity: Original Sin, Bioshock

 

I suck really bad at Bioshock games yet I'm pretty good at Crysis. Probably because there's no stealth. I just rage quit every time.

Probably Dota 2. I'm just not competitive enough to learn to be 'good' at it (denying and last hitting consistently). I normally just enjoy playing with friends against bots on hard. I'm definitely not awful, but I would probably get yelled at if I actually went into a real game.

You should really try a normal online match, it's a lot more fun than just playing against bots, it will also put you in game with people with the same level. I'm not sure if you get battle points for bot matches, but if you are a low level (1-10), people you will play with have just started playing and you're probably better than them. Just make sure you pick an easy hero, like Wraith King or Drow Ranger, I started with those personally. Wraith King has basically 2 lives from lvl 6 and with the right items can have 4 lives. Drow is a really easy carry that deals huge damage once farmed. 

 

Things above are basically what my friends (level 150 and 180) recommended to me.

pick any game and i'll probably not be very good at it, but League is the best fit for the topic. also any other game that's competitive multi-player.

Yeah I'm only level 2 since my brother hopped on and played a game when it was still in beta and he didn't have an invite. You don't get battle points for bot matches, but that doesn't bother me. It's more relaxing for me to play against bots since they are a good mix of being challenging but not too difficult on hard (although they seem to ramp up on unfair.. go figure). I've actually been playing Dota since it was on WC3; I just prefer to relax when playing games instead of worrying about how much I'm helping my team or not.

Age of Empires/Empire Earth, I guess RTS games aren't my thing. I just like building a huge city for the fun of it and dominate the computer on easy.  :D

Well, here comes the worst person around, I love Civilization games but I suck hard at them, never managed to pull a domination/combat victory (always turn that off), I always opt for any other kind of victory... oh, and also playing on easy, with allies so they can be my huma-.... AI shields if I get attacked.

The only I can see is CSGO. I am good at it, but sometimes I suck hard, like a noob. But I love that game.

Starcraft 2, because while I love the single player I am absolutely incapable of winning in any multiplayer RTS. Much prefer the pacing of 4X strategy.

 

I'm pretty horrible at FTL, too.
