When has "taking the easy way out" ever failed you miserably?

Videogames - no idea how or why, but whenever I abuse easy characters or abilities in Overwatch, I get a temporary gain in rating but then somehow... Literally no idea why, but I go back to being in hardstuck gold where I belong. Why does this happen? Is taking the easy way out really what's preventing me from skilling up? Whaaaaaat? Nooooo wayyyyy! Am I really that retarded and have such a piss poor get rich quick mentality that I forget over 50% of lottery winners go bankrupt? Am I such a blind follower of Capitalism that I can't see my actions inherently reject the neo liberal ideology that precedes the Kate stage capitalist society we live in? Hot fucking damn... Well I'm not gonna change anything. Sounds like Postmodern neo-marxist bullshit!
