i like the philosophical concept of League of Legends. I think thats why i enjoy the game so much. So much complexity can emerge from simple rules. There's one simple question, what team will destroy the nexus first? There's only 1 of 2 outcomes of every game, but more possibilities than there are atoms in the universe in a single frame. How do you win games? Stick to fundamentals and wait for the enemy to make a mistake, most people who played for a while say, and I think thats correct. So much complexity can emerge from simple rules. It's pretty much impossible to really predict the outcome of any one action. Enemy draws first blood top lane level 1? maybe this makes jungle path top, then your jungle doesnt get counterganked in a level 3 gank bot, but then enemy jg invades, but then 0 1 0 darius kills him in your own jg and your jg invades his bot. Chaos theory. Every tiny action has a massive domino effect, even a single mouse click could sway the entire final outcome. i think it's really beautiful. That's why i agree with what you said, that you cant get too attached to the outcome, i dont think theres any way to actually predict what will really happen no matter how good you are. i merely admire the complexity of it all, and revel in the fact that i get to be apart of it. ive only been playing for 4 years but i randomly got diamond lll 99 lp with full crit viego one time on my main account. i hope to get back to that elo again and maybe even masters on my main account, but im enlisting in the air force soon because im a NEET so that will probably be way many years later down the line ):

what a beautiful breakdown of how this game is! I think your perspective is very valuable for anyone who is addicted to this game. You are a very intelligent person and possibly also with a very clear mind. Only when you approach the game in this manner then you will see it as what it is and enjoy while not malding. :D It makes me want to get back to it but with with eyes and challenge myself to be better because there’s for sure a correlation of someone’s high rank and their intelligence. Good luck to your career and thank you for commenting!

its all about knowing which is bad for you and which is good for you. some addictions can be good because they help you handle life and others have lots more of consequences, but they dont even feel good to indulge in. its not about the game itself. when it comes to addictions its good to practice harm-reduction and find the addictions with less consequences that help you handle life. some people just need to be addicted. i used to be addicted to the game, but now i just play it because i want to handle life as just watching my body with no activity just kind of feel pointless

Thanks for sharing, nice video and I can relate. The one thing I don’t get is, how is it that after all these years you find the game still enyojable? So many new characters have been thrown into it that I’d think the dynamics are now just too complex and hard to mentally compute. The number of moves and characters that you need to memorize to play well is much larger, and so is the time needed to spend playing to achieve a certain performance level at the game. That makes it also harder to master exhaustivelly; to understand the dynamics and strategies for at least most other characters. How do you deal with that? Do you have the same enjoyment playing as, say, 10 years ago?

YES I agree with this viewpoint but I also have another way to look at things League of Legends is a game that is meant to be played like a sport as shown with the macro decision making that ultimately boils down to creating an advantage for your team, whether through character matchups, inherent mechanical knowledge, objective decisions, and the death timer that slowly magnifies your mistakes. Each of these avenues of opportunity accumulate to a win or a loss. Each second matters, and no one, I MEAN NO ONE can without a doubt play a game perfectly with that inherent understanding of your own actions. This is also why I love League so much, because as you later point out, everyone makes a mistake that limits their advantage, that is also why so many people are so distraught after a minor mistake. The game to me personally is all about stress control of your own mistakes, and your teammates inevitable mistakes, now the main problem with league of legends is the matchmaking, EVERY MATCHMAKING IS A COIN TOSS, you get a single noob and your percentage to win is now dependent on the magnitude of their affect of the game, as well as the enemy team's own capability. Compared to real life hockey, League is a team game that is accessed solo, you don't get the necessitative understanding of your team's strengths and weaknesses due to only meeting them a minute ago. But I personally still love League of Legends for that, you always get a chance to work on team chemistry that you would only get a split second to deal with in actual sports, Although my KDA is normally rock bottom of the leaderboard, if I see my teammates working hard at the game, I'm as happy as if I snowballed. In short, it is the mental exhaustion that the game regularly squeezes out of you that I personally love, and I enjoy the catharsis of finally overcoming that cumulative gap that just can't be expressed in any other hobby.
