For me, I grasp the fundamentals of the mechanics and that gets me about as far as I need most of the time.
When I first started playing Disco, I had a 54kbps connection and was so laggy that anything except the most casual PvP was more or less impossible anyway. That led me to exploring everything else to do in the mod instead and I guess those preferences got ground in pretty hard.
I also prefer playing as a support fighter, so chipping shields and lobbing missiles at people lets me happily contribute despite my mediocre aim. I also don't need to worry about unbalancing fights so much because I'm not a serious threat, and me going bang is a nice bit of dopamine for the people I'm fighting.
