The Angus Effect

The Angus Effect refers to a bell curve of skill in video games, wherein a less experienced player can unconsciously leverage their inexperience to their advantage, defeating a more "skilled" opponent through an unconventional and unpredictable play style.

Man 1: Did you see the Angus vs Reuben 1v1 in Siege last night? Angus destroyed him!
Man 2: Yes I did! It must've been because Reuben was high. In what other conceivable way could Angus have realistically beat him?
Man 1: I'm telling you, it's the Angus effect! This has happened time and time again.
