Climbing League's Ladder VS Climbing the Ladder of Life.

How do you think people's behaviour in video games reflects their attitudes towards life, and can a correlation between success IRL and success IG be made? For example, somebody who built a business up from nothing is more likely to do well at league of legends ranked ladder, than somebody who can't hold a job because of their dreadful work ethic.

Disregarding computer literacy and skill based factors, what I'm asking is do you think it's possible that video gaming can be used as a sort of therapy to develop progressive skills that people can apply to their every day lives?

It depends on how you play.

If you just play 15 games a day in order to get better, it's not going to help you in real life that much.

If you do your research to find the best way to climb, and then you work on fundamentals, communication, increasing your knowledge, and self-reflection (watching replays and finding things you did wrong), then a lot of that is transferable. But most people don't want to put that much work in. They're playing the video game for fun, so they just go with "I'll play 15 games a day until I hit <rank I want>".

Can't compare it to businesses but definitely to sports You need good mechanics for league which come from practice and differ from person to person
