So I've Noticed a Couple of Things about How I Approach LoL Matches...

1. My individual performance tends to range from okay to awesome, but the game is still lost partly because a different part of the team fed. By the time I try to save the day in a teamfight, I either get blown up ( I try to avoid it), or ignored until the other members of my team have been destroyed one by one.

2. Ever get that feeling of your diaphragm or central guts knotting up? That fight-or-flight response, almost as if you feel physically threatened even when you know that things are fine? That's been my associating personal feelings with losing any competitive game I invest in a lot in general. LoL and MTG being the primary examples, but also character death in a table-top game. Games like Cards Against Humanity and Munchkin, on the other hand, are fun enough in the playing of them that winning or losing means little. Or solo RPGS - the story ahould make up for whatever hinders character growth.

Main catalyst for this post: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1790588832/203289894?tab=overview. Playing a normal game, no impact on my LP (now at the bottom of Bronze 3). Playing someone that I wanted to be. And doing well in lane. Then the support and jungler have contributed little except deaths and the one anti-Teemo gank that went well.
