How do you keep your morale up?

This game is full of insanely broken champs. "Blah blah blah stop whining" right? If you disagree with the statement that the game has plenty of broken champs you don't play this game so let's just move past that and get to the point. With the constant feeling of being cheated, how do you stay happy enough to play? I mean I want to play, but after being hit by one of the longest if not the longest cc in the game by someone who blocks all of your cc ( I won't name names) and feeling completely helpless how do you bring yourself to que up? I'm not just bitching, i'm honestly asking how you move past it. If someone has any suggestions to deal with the constant frustration I would appreciate it. And no, i'm not quitting. I want that shiny gold border. If someone says play ,i'll kneecap them like samuel.l.jackson in django.

So there are only pessimists who play this game and optimists who do not? What do all the optimists on the boards do, play dota? I'm an optimist and I'm gold 5, but I guess I don't play this game.

As an optimist I play to have fun. Each game is a competition, and I go into each game knowing one side will win and the other will lose. That's how it works, and so a loss doesn't get me down. Losing is part of the game. If I wanted to win all the time I'd play creative mode minecraft or something equally dull and boring.

Winning isn't everything. There's a reason people like comebacks more than stomps; stealing a victory when at the brink of defeat is far more exciting than simply always winning. This is a game, made for entertainment purposes, and so I'm in it to be entertained. I don't find simply winning to be entertaining. Victory is nothing without the possibility of defeat.

This is the way I view games that involve conflict, and it's what keeps me interested. I don't know if any of it can be applied to your problem, but either way I wish you luck.
