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.

What I said had nothing to do with pessimism lol I meant that there are champs that are very unbalanced, and then essentially what I said was that that was an established fact that anyone who plays this game knows. I'm typically very optimistic, but a couple champs just drive me insane! I guess the part where you said winning isn't everything is my problem, but I have no clue how to fix it lol.

You see the game as having broken or unbalanced champions, where as I see many, many balanced champions with a couple outliers that still have ways of being dealt with. Your view is negative, mine is positive. Maybe it's because I've been around to see things like Xin on release, but I don't think there are many unbalanced champions in the game currently.

What you call a known fact is really just opinion. It might be a majority opinion, but it is opinion none the less. I don't know how you might change how you enjoy this game, but maybe coming to terms with just how much of League's current state is opinion will be a good starting point.

To further this one's point: Tryndamere XinZhao Olaf - just blind them with Teemo . Katarina Leblanc - AP Chogath destroys them, and any champ built tanky will absorb every single point of their burst and then proceed to methodically club them to death. Yasuo - Veigar stun and full combo. as long as you hit, he will die. Vayne - AP MissFortune turns her to swiss cheese. Nasus - ANY adc will tear him to shreds with a bork and some kite. just keep out of range of his Q. Riven - AP Nami built offensively shuts her down early game, knocks her back throughout the game, CCs the hell out of her, and bursts her down without too much effort.
