I'm So Good-itis 

When someone is new to a game and gets really good RNG, so they think it's all skill not luck.

Especially big in singleplayer games since no one is there to trash talk.
Person 1: "Jim just got to gold rank yet he just started playing last week"
Person 2: "Have you seen the way he plays? All luck, no skill. Bet he's feeling "I'm So Good-itis" right now.

I'm so good syndrome

When you think you're so skilled, but in reality it's your teammates/characters that are doing all the heavy lifting. Resorting in you falling behind.
Josh: "wow I thought this game was supposed to be hard, I've cleared 11 stages already! I'm the best at this game". In reality Josh pulled a 5 star hero early on.

Josh was later on team wiped on stage 15, for disregarding lobby upgrades, and for not paying attention to his hero's needs/upgrades; Thus he has I'm so good syndrome.
