Its been 1.5 years since I came back to this game after a 2.5 years break, and today that I'm 35 years old, I feel that I can't focus as I did in the past, even though my APM is almost the same. I also feel that my micro is substantially worse. In addition, when I play games in weekdays, after work, my performance is horrible, compared to weekends, but that didnt happen in the past.
I'm much more irregular than in the past. I mean, sometimes I can play arabia or arena games close to 2k levels, and sometimes I lose easy to 18++ guys in both maps. I can't be consistent. In the past I was a very competitive arena clown, and now I think I'm very far from that
So yes, Im getting old.
Nevertheless, I think that my post imp skills have not changed at all (I even think that I've improved in some aspects). Also my macro and decision making remains the same.
That said, I have some questions I'd like to discuss:
1.- What's the peak period for gamers? (In my case it was around 24-26 years old)
2.- How does aging affect gaming skills and what skills do you lose first?
3.- Is there any way to get back old skills? Specially micro, which I think I lost the most.
4.- Do u know about good old pro gamers in aoc or in other games?
I'd like to know about the experience of other 30+ years old AOC players too.
