When I watch pro play, I don't enjoy the game anymore -- anyone else?

It's strange, because when I first started playing the game I didn't even know there was LoL eSports. I really enjoyed playing, I still didn't like losing, but I never flamed, and I had way more comebacks.

It took me a while to realize that when I watch proplay I actually play worse and I flame more, even though I feel like I understand the game better. I'm going to stop watching proplay again, which makes me sad because I really enjoy watching it, so that I can enjoy actually playing, which is more important to me. League is really the only way I relax right now, but when I feel terrible after playing and losing a game it actually affects my day to day mood.

I know there are a bunch of you out there that watch and play and don't have any problems, but does anyone experience what I'm talking about? I'm wondering whether it's because I watch a LOT of proplay: I watch game replays on my lunchbreaks and in the evenings when I eat dinner.

Thoughts?

there's a lot less play making, back in seasons 3-4 when i started watching, there were more chases and dives, more risky plays, now they play safe as hell and seem to be scared to do anything without vision of the enemy jungler, basically, you're only gonna see cool plays in teamfights now, rarely will cool things happen in lane like they used to
