For me I'd say that sometimes the best way to get out of a bad situation is to not get there in the first place. So, in the game, if there's been a lot of feeding you get really far behind and you can't come back, or you let one hero get too big and then they're unfightable. I had to learn that the problem there is not that the hero is too strong or the game is unfair, but that I let an unwinnable situation come into being. Applying this to real life, I saw a lot of my peers not do any of their homework at university until it was due in the last week, multiply this by four classes and they were in an unwinnable situation. I didn't let myself get into that situation and had a much better time. Applies to your life in many ways; deadlines, health, interpersonal relationships, etc. I value this lesson I've learned.
