Goons have managed to punch above their weight in a few places, post goonswarm eve being the best example, but goons also had no trouble shitstomping bigger blobs in tribes, planetside, brink (for the 24 seconds that game wasn't dead), and still had a better average MMR in dota 2 than reddit. I think goons being shit at video games is a stereotype that actually isn't true, in goons favor. It might just be that reddit fucking is terrible, but frankly I think the average person is just really bad at video games.
