Might sound wired especially for a competitive game but my goal for games I like is to 100% complete/finish them. LoL is quite frustrating in this regard though. There isn´t a cap for ip/mastery/level etc. And reaching rank 1 is quite unrealistic. At least there is a limited amount of champions you can unlock ^^.

I was made fun of by league players in a group I was in back when I was bronze and silver. During 5 man normals I would get flamed and if we would lose I would get blamed ( I was the jungler of the group). After being the butt of many jokes and being str8 up disrespected, I left and pretty much spammed solo games to improve. I hit plat now so that puts me in a rank higher than those who made fun of me. But now I want to get higher.

Combination of: rewards, have a shinier icon as it's aesthetically pleasing and I may as well, haven't got a better grind game to fill time with

Option 5: games are less fun when there isn't something on the line

Ranked is just better and more fair matches than normals.

Most people aren't trying to be LCS players or even challanger. Option 1 seems bad because of that.

I just want to not "suck' at the game, what i consider as not being bad is diamond 1, so i guess that is my goal. When i reach it, i'll see from there if i want to try for something higher.

Option 2, if someone doesn't care about the game, why not just buy an account that is challanger for bragging?

option 3, rewards are quite easy to earn, gold doesn't require you to do much.

Option 4, why do you care if other players respect you?

(option 5)

I want to reach the point in which playing at my best I'm not good enough to carry.

What I seek is to have a 50% winrate with my main, I want to know in which elo that's gonna happen.

So far on Solo/DuoQ I have a 79% winrate on MissFortune , a total of 34W 9L

My plan is to play until my winrate on MissFortune is 50%

My aim was gold because of the border. Reason? Yellow is my favourite color. Nothing else really.

Now, I'm just too lazy to grind LP. Not worth my mental state and go joker level of insanity.

I climbed to low Dia because I could. Up until low Diamond improving enough to get into the next Tier always felt doable to me so I did it - I guess for bragging rights and because I liked the feeling of improving at the game. This is now the 4th season I got to low Dia, and as every season I already stopped playing because there is honestly no reason to keep trying. You'd have to be a truly outstanding player to even get into Diamond 1, let alone Masters, which I am not and never will be. Masters feels completely out of reach and so I don't feel any motivation to try to go for it, so as 3 times before I'll end this season D54.

I've always been too lazy or busy with other life things to put time into getting out of Silver. I can watch high elo players and understand their thought process well enough. I want to at the very least try to reach mid gold cause I know I'm at the very least good enough and knowledgeable enough to do that.
