Not my image. I copied it directly from reddit. Incredibly relevant to league of legends though. https://i.reddituploads.com/02a007bec3d1475daa6870c110912892?fit=max&h=1536&w=1536&s=87ef3ed17096a8037855ce7cb7492ba4

Essentially what the gameplay boards are not?

Basically. I should create a "How to not improve at the game"

I always dislike these posters on a level- I know it's accurate, but I both feel a sort of primal "are you saying I suck" fear, and I'm annoyed by the failure to note that while it's absolutely true that a growth mindset is better, one can't just make it happen instantly, or even relatively quickly.

Gameplay section: Instead of:

I give up
It's good enough
I can't make this any better
This is too hard
I made a mistake
I just can't do tihs
I'll never be that smart
Plan A didn't work
My friend can do it What people do say:
Too op, nerf
This champion needs a buff
Buff ples
Permaban
Riot matchmaking sucks
Seriously what were you thinking when you designed this
This damn cheese
(people here don't make plans)
I tried to do it but it failed. This is so UP.

A result of my boredum. Just mindless banter.

You're missing the fundamental piece. All of these are assuming one thing: that the marginal gain outstrips the marginal cost.

So, is it worth it to get better? Is it worth it to try Plan B instead of give up? Is it worth it to look over mistakes and learn from them? What you've listed are all necessary things to grow, but in order to be able to say them, you have to look deep inside yourself and say that this is worth the effort and work.
