Skill Issue Syndrome (SIS)

Also known as Low Roll Disorder


Overview

Skill Issue Syndrome (SIS) is a behavioral and emotional response to perceived unfavorable outcomes. Patients often attribute losses to external forces such as bad luck or unfair mechanics.

This condition is often triggered by emotional trauma, genetic disposition, or overexposure to toxic environments. Symptoms may be treatable, but results can vary widely from person to person.


Symptoms may include:

  • Unable to find a useful minion after rolling 13 times
  • Every shop is unplayable garbage
  • Persistent paranoia that Bob is targeting you personally
  • Rapid health loss
  • Sudden death on Turn 5
  • Strong belief that only S Tier Trinkets win games
  • Delusions of pay2win mechanics
  • Forcing a tribe because you're playing a certain Hero
  • Inability to pivot under any circumstances
  • Cannot increase MMR
  • Accidentally selling Brann

Prognosis

If left untreated, patients may exhibit these behaviors:

  • Obsessively comparing this Season to Previous Seasons
  • Informing the devs that you could do better
  • Compulsive posting on Reddit
    • Essays
    • Diary Entries
    • Full Manifestos
  • Confidence that every loss is due to bad balancing
  • Blaming Duos losses on your random teammate
  • Severe tilting

Prevention and Treatment

  • Take breaks; spend time on other activities
  • Read a guide
    • Note: Stop treatment immediately if you develop denial or symptoms worsen.
  • Try different builds (results may vary)
  • Attempt self-reflection
  • Remember it's just a game
  • Touch grass

Skill Issue Syndrome is very difficult to cure. Monitor condition closely. Even with treatment, symptoms may return after 4 months.
