Having friends that play isn't enough - personally, it can actually be worse if they are in a way way lower skill bracket than yourself and insist on playing together, sticking with you 100% (more like 90% since they die often). Low skilled friends - not even once... unless you just want to have "innocent" fun throwing games mindlessly ( at least with my buddies; maybe yours are willing to learn ).
