Peak enjoyment comes from gradual increasing of skills; if I'm always good at something, it's still fun to dominate, and if I'm randomly good and randomly bad, It's simply demotivating to know it's likely just chance involved in all of it...

I guess single player you're always good or bad at is just that much more infuriating.
