Do you take breaks?

I'm not talking about bathroom breaks or food/drink breaks. I am curious if people who currently or previously played for long consecutive chunks of time feel the need to stop and take a break between matches or every few matches.

Before this winter I could play hours on end without taking a break other than for the bathroom (of course I was drunk pretty much the whole summer) but I kinda find it necessary to take breaks now just to find the motivation to play. I don't know if it's diminishing returns, boredom.. etc.

I was happy for the longest time just going match after match with my music cranked up but maybe it was the booze. I haven't had a drink for going on 4 months and it's making me wonder if I had more fun being drunk than I did playing the game.

I actually have had the same issue the past couple of months, and I used to grind them out just like you describe.

Win or lose, I just feel like I need to cool it between matches now. Not sure why. It's real strange. For me, I kinda think it's preseason. My most played champion is Swain, and his recent nerf was sad for me. I get tired of seeing Thunderlord's every game. I hate that there's 8 champions I want banned every match. It's a grind lately. Can't wait for more patches in Jan. It will get better again.

Most games get redundant after a while no matter what. Some games let you get a few weeks out of them, others a few years depending on the person. I dont know, do you play with others? That always makes it so much more fun.

For sanity's sake, it would be wise. I take breaks, especially if I feel really angry of something.
