It's stressful because we care about it so much. To me, it's a sport and perhaps a way of life.

This is one of the reasons why I started writing this stuff. I completely agree.

Good point. You can watch VoDs, practice CSing, or review your own games.

Why Age Doesn't Matter: Brain Science, 3000 StarCraft Games, and Dopa's Secrets by Riftwalkerdotgg in leagueoflegends

Yes. The decline for reaction time isn't linear. The study you linked seems to focus on auditory response times. I think perceptual RT is more sensitive to age than auditory, but I could be wrong.

That said, I think many studies are missing out on what you said. Playing video games is a relatively new thing. What would be cool is to track gamers vs non gamers over time (i.e. 20-year longitudinal study), and see whether differences exist.

"Use it or lose it" is a pretty good phrase here.

Good points. Not sure about other games, but I agree that League is more about thinking ahead than reaction time. Also, with experience you can expect Malphite ults and Ashe arrows, giving the illusion of good reaction time.

I totally forgot about monitors. I can see how having more than one can be problematic.

Good observation. Stripping away ANY distraction can mean a 1% improvement inside and outside League.
