A phenomenon in competitive online MOBA/team-based FPS gaming in which average rank (i.e. Silver/Gold/Plat) have big ambitions to learn the strategies and compositions of high-rank and pro players, but are in their rank due to not being refined in the fundamental aspects of the game. This includes: * Spending hours watching lots of in-depth Jayne videos and concepts, dozens of them, but not enough time grinding the competitive ladder to apply those concepts * The stress and cognitive dissonance of having a lot of lofty goals and academic knowledge, yet not being exceptionally good. * Trying to adhere to the meta religiously, even though they are nowhere near the skill cap and their inability to climb out of their rank has nothing to do with the meta. * While there is a genuine attempt to learn about metas in-depth, sufferers of Jayne Syndrome, end up rotely memorizing lots of informations, getting bit and pieces, glibly forming them together, but with a lack of context.
