I think for the first time ever I have finally burnt out on a game
After getting my main to gold I have been playing on my smurf to see how fast I could climb back to gold I went from bronze 3 to silver 1 in half the amount of games it took for my main but now in silver 1 I have been having terrible matches. I only play a select few games mostly Smash bros, Pokemon, and League. I never get burnt out on any game. One of the other games just catches my interest and I play the same game months at a time before the other catches my interest and I never get burnt out. Recently though, I think I finally burnt out on a game and that game is league of legends.
Nearly every single game I have been playing for the past seven days has been a complete disappointment. Every time I log into league and play 2-3 matches I can't help but feel like I am completely wasting my time. Sure, you could argue that playing video games itself is a waste of time but in terms of trying to have a good quality match that feels satisfying and worth the time I am spending matches like this are non existent. In fact after one disappointing match I'm left with an empty feeling that I think can be filled by playing another match so I get into the next game and its another drag and the cycle continues but this time I'm finally done and I can't bring myself to play more than 3 matches in a game I used to love.
Just today, I've had 2 remakes in a row which already is waste of 15+ minutes. When I finally get into a match, I get autofilled jungle when I just want to play adc. In champ select we get a shaco mid with smite who apparentally didn't realize he was mid who fed 4 kills to yasuo and it has only been 4 minutes into the game. By 10 minutes, midlane is pushed all the way to our inhibitor with a fed bot and midlane. After prolonging the game for 20 more minutes we finally lose.
The beginnings of my games have been like this for the past 7 days. We start to finally get into the game, but in the beginning other lanes lost so hard and so many towers have been pushed not to mention the inhibitor that it is nearly impossible to come back. I can't even do anything about it either 10 minutes or earlier in the game because my tower is still alive. The enemy adc may have nothing but 2 deaths but because of my allies, after the fed people come to my lane and they take my tower they turn the adc I was beating in lane to becoming 7/2 more fed than me and I haven't even died once and was winning my lane. If these game weren't ruined like they have been so early on I could try and carry my matches but it keeps happening before I even have a chance to do anything about it. Not to mention I have has many afks and 2 midlaners who have opened mid typing in all chat.
When I play Pokemon or Smash bros I can hone my own skills and my own hard works pays off. In pokemon I've gotten really good at reading opponents next move and setting up sweeps and the more I play the more I improve. Same with smash, I play my favorite character megaman I practice his kill confirms, his set ups, edge guarding, zoning and other mechanical skills. I have gotten really good at smash. In a match, it's only my vs the enemies skill. In league other people can ruin my chances of winning the game in 5 minutes regardless of how much I play and how good I have gotten. You can really only change the tide of games like this when you are playing 2-3 divisions below your skill level but when you are playing close to your own skill about a division below which is close you need to at least have a team the doesn't lose inhibitor 10 minutes into the game without the use of herald.
