Playing the game, but not for fun

Hello guys, Just a light background, I am a speedrunner (latest game was Dark Souls 3) and I noticed something while looking at the forums and gameplay these last few days. When we say "game is full of dmg" or "game is unenjoyable" what do we really mean by this? You can disagree and that is fine, but to me, it seams like we are trying to do the same thing with league, as a speedrunner community does to every game. To break it. When normal players play a game, they are usually trying to enjoy it, relax, have fun. Not us, we are trying to complete is as fast as possible and there is nothing, no technique, no strat that can stop us. I think we started taking league as something we have to rush through. You can actually see all those strats that are used to abuse what we have, but ultimately destroying fun. Funnel strat is the most recent. We chase after a rank, which ultimately means nothing, but we wanna do everything it takes to be there, no matter if none is gonna have fun, we won, thats it. +18LP!! Maybe we should stop looking at this game, like its a speedrun, and enjoy it?

P.S. Maybe this is just because there is nothing else to do? Or because there is really no reward to playing the game other than the rank?

Please tell me what you think about this. Thanks!

Maybe reduce dmg, and we can still enjoy it like its a speed run, just a little slower.
