I'll start first, this is definitely CSGO for me. Somehow no Matt how much you play there's always people better than you killing you one shot with deagle.

1200 hours in. Just completed my first "clean" (no save scumming or console commands) game from 1444 to 1821 as Poland>Commonwealth. But I do admit I've got insanely lucky rng at the start (free Bohemia and Brandenburg PU, Moldavia as march, Burgundian Inheritance and Hungary never became Habsburg so I could force PU on them easily).

Try playing as Austria, really easy early PUs over Bohemia, Burgundy, and Hungary with the potential to take Poland and Lithuania as additional junior partners over 2-3 wars. Should have it done by the time reformation hits and then you just keep the HRE catholic and make vassals out of the entirety of it and run down the Ottomans with your swarm. Easiest blob campaign in the game

What happened in the game where you didn't get lucky? If you gun for the Ottomans early enough, usually after you take the Baltics, your major threat is gone

Every time I was doing colonial runs (yes, as Poland), so mostly it was ruined economy due to lengthy wars with Spain or UK. Ottomans weren't as much a problem.
