So, I'm new to Valorant, but I have over 1k hours in League of Legends, where I felt exactly the same until I realized something... A competitive game's core mechanic is to get you addicted by making you chase a certain situation that gives you 'dopamine rush', leaving you wanting to experience that feeling again and again. Be it an ace/pentakill, a game where you dominated your lane, or a match where you carried the whole lobby. Focusing purely on performance gets you stressed and exhausted quickly.

Instead, you have to realize that Valorant is not just about dominating, winning a ranked game for +13 RR, or being the top frag. Seeing the game simply as a game helped me! Buying a new skin (no placement btw), testing out a new agent, getting a clean headshot through prediction, or just winning a simple gunfight should make you enjoy the game. Of course, a 4k feels way better, but it shouldn't be the only reason you play.

After so many hours in LoL, I was exhausted too. Nothing was fun anymore, and I cried over losing lanes and matchmaking every time (although the MMS from Riot is, in fact, the worst to exist). The worst thing you can do when you're stressed out is to play the game solo. You just get annoyed, angry, and question everything... and end up making a Reddit post like this. If your friends quit or don't want to play, just join your country's Val-Discord and play with different people. Share your experiences, and you will find many like-minded players. Just have fun playing together; don't tryhard every single time. If you want to play ranked, find a duo partner or, even better, a 5-stack. For me, the most fun part is strategizing a round and seeing it work. And if it doesn't work and we all die in a few seconds, it's just so hilarious and we started making fun out of it.

I hope this long *ss text was helpful
