Pro Gamer Syndrome

A gamer who overestimates their gaming abilities thinking that they are a "pro gamer". Usually found in negative steam reviews in hard games such as Cuphead, Celeste etc. While these people could just turn on assist mode they instead write a negative review which helps nobody.

John definitely has pro gamer syndrome, he's such a noob but thinks he's a gaming god.
