I'm finding playing Overwatch AND League at the same time very hard.

Hopefully i didn't put this into the wrong board but, how do i get into this... I bought overwatch around a month or 2 ago and have slowly been drawing away from league. although i'm still subscribed to league channels such as trick2g, nightblue, gosu, ect. I haven't actually played the game myself due to me playing so much overwatch competitive. i find myself staying up at 6:36 (the time right now) telling myself after each overwatch match i'm going to play a league ranked game but i never get around to it due to the addictiveness and the vibe to overwatch competitive which felt so similar to what i've felt during season 3-4 league of legends. call me a trick2g fan but i play a lot of udyr and volibear nasus, even nidalee sometimes. and i find myself missing playing these characters but in fear of being rusty i can't play ranked league of legends and i dont' want to waste time playing Normals, if you get what i mean by "wasting my time". League isn't a game you can just come back to after 3-4-5-6 months and expect to be how you were before you took the break or when you stopped playing. it takes game after game of correction and relearning/recalling how to play.

so whats the end game here? my accounts has a long history to it and i have tons of skins and champ mastery. hell i went through INSANITY getting to gold 3 as stupid as it sounds. feels like a waste. feels like i have to keep playing, and its not that i don't want to keep playing its just. well, read above ^.

Back in the day I used to play the original Guild Wars almost exclusively. I played it for about five years as my primary game, with only occasionally playing anything else. To this day I'm still having a little trouble playing multiple games at once, since it's just so easy for me to dive into one game and play it non-stop.

Overwatch is fun, but are you actually ready for it to replace League? If not then make sure you take some breaks from Overwatch once in a while. Maybe throw in a third game, or find an RL hobby, but making sure you don't simply replace one game with the other is the best way to force yourself to adjust to playing multiple games.

Just remember, just because you don't actively play League doesn't mean you're done playing it. You can always come back.
