Does anyone else remember when it felt nice to be good at the game?

I remember in season 4 and season 5 (didn't play ranked in season 3) when I was climbing the ladder and actually feeling accomplished. I was a silver scrub until i fought my way up to gold after months and months of playing everyday to get better. I worked really hard and I felt it was worth it. Now this feels like a washed up garbage game that I only play because my friends don't have overwatch and suck at cs. I feel 0 drive to get better, I know there is 0 point in attempting to go pro, this entire season feels like a sick joke riot pulled on the community. Its just not FUN anymore, I stomp practically every ranked/norm I play, probably because I haven't played ranked so my elo is at low silver. When I play this game all I think about is how I could better spend my time, on cs go, overwatch, or actual real life things. All it feels like now Is a shitstain of a game that riot flushed down the f*cking toilet. You can look at my boards history as well, you can see a MASSIVE drop in activity ever since season 6.
