  • Haha, don’t worry about the typos, I’m grateful for your response. I’ll say that most people think they’re playing to win, they think that is actually what they are doing, as did I. I came to a realization around when I was platinum after watching an LS video: this man and I are in completely different worlds. His understanding in general is something I couldn’t even begin to understand. He plays to be the best and to win; I was just playing to play. I used to lose games I thought I was playing to win, when in reality I was playing to win and also for fun; I’d end up making a grievous mistake somewhere along the game’s progression that lost my team the game. I think League is mostly mental, and playing to win entails improvement. Those who play for purely lp gains aren’t playing to win when they could win far more with improvement.

    Personally, the game is fun for me because I love seeing improvement and chase the satisfaction of always being better. Most people don’t follow the mindset you have even if they’ve heard it a million times, so you should be proud of that!
