"Skill Issue" is a phrase or term often used and inserted into conversations regarding video games or other media. The phrase is used to deem a failure or other similar scenario where the player is not successful and they proceed to blame it on the factors of the game or their opponents, when it is in fact, their fault. It can be used both as a genuine criticism of someone's skill, or ironically when it is in fact a factor completely out of their control to serve as a joke. It can also be used in real-life scenarios or other forms of non-video game media, where it is used as a video game related substitute to make a statement ironically or humorously.
