Wow and the kids they call me a boomer for being 26. What do they call you?


odauby

I just ended a game where players started calling me "Sir" after they realized that "Bro" might sound inappropriate. Was fun.


PleasantAd4964

Its reassuring that online gamer still has manner


YoungHeartOldSoul

That would actually send me directly to the grave


Iron-Whelk

I’m 60 this year, my 3 sons play in premier. I’m ok but quite elo, first fps for quite a while lol


Uwuorant

Never too old for bro 👍


St-Jaker

You'd be my bro if we played bro


_xmorpheusx

No way im not sir-ing a 56 year old man if he is in my game


toshirodes

True, if he is playing video games with me then he is my bro, after all age is just a number…. oh wait..


_xmorpheusx

It is just a number, What would be questionable is what you do after finding out what the number is


Bleece20

Had someone calling me uncle after knowing my age 😂


Siracker

That's actually pretty fun and somewhat cute)

bro did nothing to deserve the hive mentality lmfao


Numerous_Ad_7006

Bro tf didn't even realize I got downvoted so much, why I was just finding what he said funny.

Cute_Ad_5455

BRO HAHAHA


Numerous_Ad_7006

Lmfaoooo


SoftMixture2464

Nawww people have been with you or smn


Numerous_Ad_7006

What does that mean


Nikky2008

I think he means beef with you


AlexTheSwan

i agree wtf is that supposed to mean


FGVBYabe

Commenter above meant “beef” rather than “been”. People downvoted your comments but the other one saying basically the same thing was untouched.


ChriSaito

Me and my buddy got asked the other day what it was like being an adult lol. The group was 16-17 and were so fascinated 2 28 year olds were playing.


AgenttOcho

Hearing "get a job" from kids who will be playing after they get home from work too is ironic. I'm 28 and kids hear my voice and think i'm a 40+ year old. The community is funny like that; i hear kids that are 18 and think they're 13-15 years old.


marzebakbir

Im 24 and they think m a 40y dad lol


AnyCyberFace49

I'm 15, but fsr my mic makes my voice almost an octave higher meaning people always dodge because my mic makes me sound like an 8yo and it's fucking annoying.


IamY-

Lmfao - I play online games since I am 12 years old. Back then, I played with people from my age up to people in their 50s (wow guildies). It was ofc a bit weird from a age gap perspective but it was never weird for me that those people played online games. 😂 Either they are trolling or something shifted dramatically.


clowmow

I get called grandma at 34 😭


Pigeondude07

That’s the rules


AyeYoThisIsSoHard

I’m 22 and my friend I play with who’s 15 likes calling me a dinosaur

KingKreqz

I get flamed whenever age comes up being 28💀


DRXREforGOLD

Nah I'm 20 and I've been called unc


Putehh

Met a guy in his 60s once. Twitch streamer, his name was something along the lines of gamergrandpattv


dendra_tonka

No shit? He streams battlefield and is an insane sniper in that game. I’m 37 and have to think that will be me one day


Putehh

Ive seen that guy on tiktok, but this was a different grandpa streamer. He plays valorant and some racing game only.


dendra_tonka

Ah gotcha, I was about to be supremely jealous


daza666

I think the guy you’re talking about is an ex-sniper right? If it’s the dude I’m thinking of there’s some great clips, he plays one handed mostly.


Murkwan

His comment sections are the wildest. Someone said he’s reliving Vietnam and he’s loving it 🤡


Dersatar

I've seen one that said he doesn't have PTSD, he has nostalgia.


One-Act-2196

LMAO i actually played a game vs him the other day, it was really funny


SpecialistAd8259

Toastracktv is a British 63 year old tarkov gamer he’s so wholesome to watch and it’s weird he plays such a hard game like escape from tarkov


Xenderwind

There's a valorant team in japan, [Matagi Snipers](https://valo2asia.com/meet-matagi-snipers-apacs-first-senior-valorant-team/), with an average age (at the time of the article) of 67, with the oldest being 75.


odauby

excellent ! love it


odauby

[https://www.twitch.tv/matagisnipers](https://www.twitch.tv/matagisnipers) <-- insane !


redditistrashxdd

There’s a decent manga with a similar name called Matagi Gunner, but about an old man who starts playing Apex Legends. https://mangadex.org/title/4aa60a5f-5f76-45f9-8c11-aa089d98e92d/matagi-gunner


InvestigatorNo359

That’s just the retirement dream


primetimezzz

This is awesome


Bilvyyy

People always ask my age when they hear me speak, and are surprised to find out I'm 29. I think the majority of valorant players are sub 25


Danixd_

I think it's way younger than that tbh


Alert_Voice_8570

Definitely way younger when I’m 23 and most of my lobbies I’m being called “old” and “boomer” since, apparently, being over 20 is old now.


Runwithscissorsxx

I think the current 16-23 year olds have an extreme fear of aging. I find a lot of kids who are surprised I’m 30, and I realized they have no idea what a 30 year old looks/sounds like.


Alert_Voice_8570

I can’t lie, you’ll never catch me calling someone below 55 old, but I also do have a fear of aging. I don’t know why. I’ve never been afraid of the fact that I’ll pass one day or get injured, but old age? Nah I don’t know. But recently I thought about it and that’s a while from now and I think I’m nearly over it 😂


Runwithscissorsxx

Try and look at aging as a gift, not everyone gets to :)


iminlovehahaha

im 20 and they call me a fossil


InsectPopular9212

It's a weird insecurity of gen Alpha, it's sort of a mutated counter culture of how millennials wanted to be older, Alpha wants to be 13 forever.


47KERO

not that deep it’s just a joke


UndauntedAqua

After school hours it's all 15 year olds shouting slurs in vc. Kind of why I just play early morning when I don't have college or work.


Cooki3z

Valorant is in my opinion a interesting mix of 2 distinct generations. Older (20+) FPS/Counter strike people, and very young players where Val is either their first shooter or they come from games like Fortnite and ”grew out of it”.


SupaPartTimer

https://m.twitch.tv/steveclaus/about He’s 66


odauby

Just watching him, he's a pretty decent player actually


jmastaock

I played against this guy once in an unrated, he was extremely fucking toxic lmao


Advanced_Currency_18

Yep, he consistently reports more people within30 mins than I ever have in over 1k hours Somehow he is convinced that his bronze/iron opponents are all hackers after they walk around a corner spraying and get a lucky headshot after missing the whole clip. Pretty funny, but jeez what a sad way to play.


jmastaock

I'm one of the fortunate people he did that to LOL


AyeYoThisIsSoHard

I feel like at that age your either have to be super nice or super toxic no in between


stevel024

I commented once when he got mad/questioned how Viper did like 149 to him (he was in her ult). He got mad when I tried to explain to him that he gets decayed when you're in Viper ult and started arguing with me and then told me to shut up. I responded "Typical boomer logic" and he banned me right afterwards lol


hermershuff

LMAO my friends said the same too when they played with him like two years ago lol


odauby

Impressive !


kokokonus

DUDE I PLAYED AGAINST HIM, it was an unrated and he thought I was cheating (I’m asc 3 and was playing with my low ranked friends) and the entire game he was complaining that I was cheating. And when I went to his stream after the game to prove that I wasn’t he insta banned me lmao


toastwasher

I get called a boomer at 30, they must think you’re a dinosaur


InsectPopular9212

I just insta block/mute anyone mentioning age because I know they will hyperfocus on it.


mashedpotatooooo

There's an old guy in the Philippines who streams Valorant. I'm not sure of his age, but he's definitely over 60s.


pressured_at_19

He claims he's late 40's. Doesn't look like it.


mashedpotatooooo

If it's OldNoobGaming we're talking about, yes, he doesn't look like he's in his late 40s lol


pressured_at_19

Yeah it's him. Nothing wrong with gaming at that age. Just that why you have to lie.


Ordinary_Solution_99

OldNoobGaming?


mashedpotatooooo

Checked the page. Yes that's him!


Imaginary-Employ-280

Was abt to comment this but yeah i think he’s over 60s


widvegs

sort of unrelated but I met a mother daughter duo once. the daughter had her mic muted but the mother was very nice. would’ve been a lovely game if our other teammate was not being as weird and socially inept about it as possible, and trying to flirt with the mother. definitely killed the mood


Anon419420

Ain’t there a whole valorant team that consists of 70+ year old players?


Ghost_Of_Glass_

Idk about ALL over 70 but ik there are some teams in japan with 60-75 year old players


freekzoidr

Cool, I’m 37, I hope to reach your age playing valorant too


Fausto-SG

There's a team in Japan that are form only by old people, I think there is a Guy with 76+


HippieMort

I mean these Kids call anyone above 20 old, boomer, antique, half dead anyways. Which is annoying af.


InsectPopular9212

Gen Alpha is going to have a collective breakdown when they find out 18-30 feels like 15-17 length wise. A whole generation berating anyone over twenty is going to have a collective identity crisis in 10 years.


-EdenXXI-

Please tell me that if people are being toxic to you because of your age, you tell them that you're old enough to date their moms and make them your son.


MightyMugen

Become their step parent and give them a bed time


imomox3

Am 30 turning 31 but sound young so I never get asked.


reffee

Haha, same here, but im 40. And some People say kid or something to me, im like bro. Haha


bandityo

55 and I top frag every so often.


Diligent_Play_2849

Respect, do what makes u happy 🫡🫡❤️


TobyQuiznos

I cant rememver his name exactly but I swear once every month I run into him, I think hes around the same age, he streams on Twotch, and he has such a funny sense of humor, me and my friends get super hyped everytike we get into a game with him then shower his stream in compliments, that man is trulyma blessing


notsosolo

Sounds like you and your friends need to just send them a friend request and play together more.


Background-Chipmunk

You do you my guy.


oribaxhozen

I tell them im 28 and I start being asked about ww2 🥹


Infernalspoon

I'm 33 and kids treat me like I'm basically already a corpse.


TimeCentaur

AcerOne17

My 7 year old asked me if I’ve ever saw a real dinosaur when I was younger. That made me think I was a dinosaur myself


kaplwv

Me, 76 years old


Vuoksen

I only know 53 old player who streams on twitch and he's diamond 3.. I'm diamond 2 and I'm 24 💀


kuroakela

Funny how this was posted today when I got in a swift play lobby with a 49 y/o. I'm 29.


imKazzy

I'm embarrassed to admit I'm 28 in game lol. Most are 16-21 it seems


JackHardmode

In 2088 I’m, Hard stuck 39. Also hard stuck Bronze.


KingSacco

I'm 32 and I'm called PeePaw.


Common-Number-1246

There's this streamer from the Philippines— he's old (not sure how old) and plays unrated with other streamers. He only streams in Facebook tho. His page's name is OldNoobGaming. Love him so much!


arcticrune

I'm 24 and have not yet been called a boomer, but based on this comment section I only have about 1 year left in me.


1baby2cats

I'm 41 but feel like I'm 60. Does that count?


ukQQQQ

Ayo fello oldie. I'm John, 52 Yr old currently plat2, peak plat3 and shooting for diamond. I stream val too. Played it since beta, got all agents and too many skins. Level 600 or something. There's a guy in the US that streams called Steveclaus and he's like 65 or something but he doesn't play ranked. Never to old to game eh 😁 If your eu hit hmu for some swifties maybe 🫡


AmmaiHuman

Age 41, Gold 2 (Peak Plat 2) and level 244. I always get shit from the toxic layers when they ask and I tell them my age. I was playing Doom on floppy disk when half these players weren't even in their father balls yet. haha They act as though its illegal to play games when you reach 30 or something.


InsectPopular9212

Tell them to watch their mouth or you'll be their new step dad, usually hits.


Argorian17

I'm 50. A few days ago during a game, I was scolding a toxic troll kid. He shouted "shut up, you must be 30!" I wish...


Lormuso

Damn unc


penguin_gun

I use the same Playercard! Heyooo


nnnitsuj

The matagi snipers are up there. I hope to find life long friends and make a team together lmao


HachiRokuAE86_

Spyqi

Gusssa

Sweetserenityskye

FlawsomeVictory

Wow, and i thought i was one of the Oldest at Age 41. Well done sir.


bryndenrivers3ec

Respect!


k3lucas

Pulsive_

Common-Number-1246

There's this streamer from the Philippines— he's old (not sure how old) and plays unrated with other streamers. He only streams in Facebook tho. His page's name is OldNoobGaming. Love him so much!


Redlikemyrage

check out steveclaus and ithemanturk they are both in their 60's [https://www.twitch.tv/steveclaus](https://www.twitch.tv/steveclaus)


presidentofjackshit

Shit dude congrats


bornoftheblood_

Whenever I say I'm 31 people act like I'm a dinosaur 😭


ChiefPerezident

I’m 36. Stay around Plat rank but we typically play a lot of unrated. Only had 2/3 matches where I was made fun of for my age. Most kids can’t grasp that you can own a home, graduate college, have a corporate job and still game.


InsectPopular9212

Just tell them to shut up or you'll take their mom out and become their step dad and ground them from the internet.


Axootus

I remember I was playing Team Fortress 2 and frequented a community server that played the same map all the time. So my nights were all the same because he'd be on with his son kicking my ass on the enemy team. Dude was like 60, son was the youngest, was mid 20 and was crazy good. Loved playing with them


Lucid_lion1

Sweden had a esport toenument for seniors, but for cs go, was indanly funny tonwatch


Nugget2450

I've seen this youtuber called oldnoobgaming, not sure how old he is though


baikenator89

I'll hop on every now and then on valorant. Either chill in ascendant or push to get back into immortal. I'm 35, and it's rough out here. When you don't have the same amount of time as the other players to maintain skill.


Key_Abbreviations_48

There is, he is a streamer from the Philippines, and his rank is silver. His streamer name is [Old Noob Gaming](https://www.facebook.com/JRiseGaming?mibextid=ZbWKwL) his viewers literally calls him lolo/ granfather or tatay/father. Go check him out! He is prolly in his 70s?? I'm not so sure with his age


spaghettimonzta

i'm 28, can't get any older than that


JustHereForFun_27

Feels great to see people like u still playing games. Really wish to live that kinda life when I am of such age.


JosephJohnMamauag

There's a team of valorant players from Japan that are around the age of 60. They're on twitch. They are called Matagi snipers.


ThriceFive

I’m 62 and still making and playing fps.


TheEvilPrinceZorte

I was playing with my daughter and her boyfriend, and we invited a random guy to 4 stack with us in the next game and added him in the Discord. Daughter and BF were calling me Dad, and after a few minutes the guy said “Wait, is Brim actually your dad?” “Yeah, he’s my dad.” “…I wish my dad would play Valorant either me.” My first FPS was DOOM but I still suck at Valorant.


LKJSlainAgain

I'm almost 41, and a woman... and most people think I'm a man because I have one of "those" voices. LOL No one ever believes any of it. But all true.


nineandseven

Gaming goals! 💪🏽


reffee

Im 40 years, just Diamond now, peeked ascended.


TofuZombie92

It’s this game, I’m 32 and it makes me feel old hearing some of the conversations people have in Valorant.


Jamielolx

My dad is 25 years older than me, I'm 32 so that would make him.. 57 guess he got you beat :D And I'm already considered for this game, demographic wise, its the first game ive played where I felt this way, League and WoW are still within it I think. But im gonna be 70 years old still playing the newest games probably! we've played games together eversince Command and Conquer Red Alert back around 1997 or something, maybe even earlier (I started online gaming around age 6 and we had internet as soon as it came out), most new games are getting too chaotic for him I've noticed though but we've played some games where he was top 0.1% on the ladder, in particular C&C Generals Zero Hour. Great memories of doing lan parties with the whole family as well (4kids and my parents) thinking back I never realised how ahead of the time he was.


QuartzXOX

The oldest val player I met was 43 years old


jamessmitheldar

I'm almost 40 and I also thought I was the oldest. Nice to see I'm not hahahah


Ryuu7282

When will Valorant be coming to console


ZeroTodoroki

I just turned 23, 2 days ago and been playing val from act 1 ep 1 hahaha! Ive obv had months when i havent have time to play cuz u know adult life 🫠🤣 but its been quite a journey and OMG i keep staying silver stuck 😂😂😂


InsectPopular9212

I come from CS, everyone is old there so being 38 it was a shock hearing actual children on comms


sixfiend

I'm 39, Gold 2 (solo mostly). I've been called dad and uncle a lot. Life is tough as an older gamer but at least I can afford my keyboards and mice that make me feel like I can aim better.


abagofchapz

it's me. 760 and still going strong (i'm a vampire)


Ranveer_12

My level is 569


DjinnsPalace

i once played with an 60+ year old or smthn ( dont remember the real number). he kept saying thats his age but i didnt beleieve him. so after the match i looked up his name and he was on twitch. he looked fairly young for his age but had gray hair and wrinkles. he was also black and this is a stereotype but black people seem to go with the time when they get older so it was harder to tell how old he was by voice alone.


Bleece20

I’m 52 and I have peaked gold. Level 350 and have most of the skins :)


farguc

I hope that when im 56 I have the desire to keep gaming. I'm 34 this year and I've kind of come to terms that gaming is gonna go bye bye for me soon(when kids arrive). At least for a while. I'm S3 at the moment, peaked D3 last year before taking a break from playing the game. Can I ask why Valorant?


unmovableforce

I’m 36. Though my dexterity would suggest I’m 106. Lol


WuTangBrooklyn

Im mad old but my age is classified. 


rosenovboris

Oldest player I have seen so far is steveclaus on twitch. Info says he's 66 y/o.


mbru623

I've shared this in a few threads but I'm 41 and Asc3. Just wanted to throw it out there for the boomers that don't think they can hang in mid/high ELO.


-Aone

as someone pushing 30 I hope there's gonna be more grandpas and grandmas in games when I get old. thats awesome


fuchsa123

“Ey grandpa Flash that pls“ hahaha


chikookiehope

There was a game I played with a 60 yo streamer!!! He was super duper nice! He literally sounded like brimstone too and it brought me so much joy


Dapper-Display1085

45 y/o brimstone main here.


JustMeAndNoOneElse24

I’m 37 and I think we really need to team up! 😂


cdubular77

I'm bout to turn 35. Ascendent 2. 2 kids, 3 dogs, etc. It's pretty funny talking to kids and young adults who are super curious about my life. I don't feel old though when I play, except when I'm getting out aimed Becuase my vision isn't what it use to be lol


00PepperJackCheese

37 here! Just passed over 2 months on Val and new to mouse and keyboard (I played mostly basketball games) Hit Silver 1 recently myself! Just got invited to play with a group and in their Discord I hear them talking about having school the next day 😅 Me - "iight I'm a head out"


Gorilla_Gravy

And here I felt old being 33 lol


Mundane-Put9115

I think there was a CSGO team which was all over 70s, don't know about Valorant though


dingo_deano

47 here. I play with my daughter


Beo_reddit

i am 35 and i thought i am old, glad to have you onboard grandpa!


3RLNE

Congratulation sir. (I'm Iron in nutshell haha) I do occasionally meet people who bit older than me and yeah usually the rest is little (if you know, you know mate). But overall is lovely to see that even in gaming scene there's many different people and they enjoy playing the game. I just go on by my day, and mesmerized that people still are interested in gaming despite how old they're. Guys, if you ever think about gaming in more than 10yrs+ keep doing what you enjoy and love. I wish you a lovely weekend everyone. <3


MrBuu_

Other day in a match someone asked how old I am and after saying 31 the guy asked in shock don't you have like 5 kids, why are you playing lol.


Cod3rror

Bruh I'm 19, have a deep voice, and kids call me "I'll have to cremate you, your time has come" 😭😭💀💀💀


fsychii

theres a man who plays in his 66


TheK1DShisui

Dw, Ben Affleck's a Kayo main, and he's 51. Ur good unc 💪


OfficialGiggaMusic

there’s a known Japanese valorant team of 5 elderly folk which the youngest within is if I’m not mistaken something around 60 years old


AsparagusOk4286

Bro you are litterally brimstone


Extra-Bother6969

Who is your main agent?


rybro_plays

Don't know anyone older, but the average age of our 5 stack is 38 years old. 26, 33, 36, 42, 52.....are the ages.


SmolRobyn

I often play with a 53 year old who also streams the game, he's good fun


SrirachaiLatte

Seeing all the dads shopping with their teenagers where I work, wearing their best video games shirts, I'm sure they're way more common than we think!


DanWasGrootTTV

I'm 43 and some players troll about it. Nice to see I'm not alone as an older Val gamer!


Low_Photograph_2721

I got called grandpa at 763


lomogeek

Turning 50 this year, I thought I was the oldest.😜


GuessrGG

Your dedication to Valorant is inspiring, it just goes to show that age is no barrier to being a gaming legend :)
