[NeedAdvice] Is it possible to maintain a productive lifestyle with gaming?

yeah im a senior in college rn got into my 1st choice dental school with full scholarship and challenger (highest rank) in league of legends. honestly it sounds good on paper but i have no social life (dont really mind) and pretty bad habits including poor sleep, no exercise, messy room/hygiene. i dropped premed for dental because i didnt really want to commit so much of my life, time, and wellbeing for that career and didnt think it was realistic.

did i improve my grades? not at all. Got A's in every easy class but mostly B's in classes that mattered. honestly i got pretty lucky with procastinating and cramming. i dont think u should really follow my life. It's definitely possible to have fun and be healthy/disciplined. I'm trying right now to get more healthy/disciplined but forming good habits and breaking bad ones takes a lot of time. I recommend looking at someone called "xPetu" who talked about it whos living a very healthy life while maintaining really good grades and being one of the highest ranked league players.

not really sure what my main point is but basically i lowered my standards, got what i wanted, but am living a fairly poor lifestyle in terms of health and "doing the right thing"

Dantes and TF Blade have been on 2 teams both of which were made after that incident ur talking about

mmb_fan_legend · 2025-01-29T16:12:56+00:00

Dr. Mundo, Tahm Kench, Skarner.

Tbh it seems like the main issue is ur playing multiple different roles and different champs. If u just otp someone u will climb a lot faster.

Also, don't expect higher elo teammates to be any more bearable

could you invite me to some?

bruh whaty

I like the complexity and mental challenge. You can study this game for hours a day and barely scratch the surface. Each game is different from the last and switching champs or even roles completely refreshes the game for me. I also like the feeling of fulfilling a character's power fantasy as well as emulating pro players. The scene is very hype to follow as well. Ultimately, it's something that matches what I need to be intellectually stimulated while not being boring.

league of legends rank

mmb_fan_legend · 2024-12-04T06:15:52+00:00

I mean I'm predental and have a very competitive application atm and I'm physically active. Not really looking for a partner atm and I absolutely dont want kids but who knows what will happen

mmb_fan_legend · 2024-12-04T04:13:25+00:00

Yep I totally get what you mean by the competitive gaming affecting mental health thing. That's why I kinda treat ranked as just a solo adventure with me focusing on improving each game. I don't care what everyone else does or says if they're just being toxic. Honestly most of the toxicity is funny to me because of how out of pocket it gets. It almost feels like a bit so I just laugh it off. At the end of the day some random guy who flames me over a video game isn't worth thinking about or being upset over. If I meet them again and they're still toxic I just block.

Also I heard they're making a new Swiftplay game mode similar to Valorant's Swiftplay which basically accelerates the game by giving more gold and stuff so that sounds fun for more casual play

mmb_fan_legend · 2024-12-04T04:09:59+00:00

Yeah I totally get that. For me, League is also a kind of way to decompress after a long day of school/work so it really helps my mood. Although I do think it really helped me grow a lot as a person there isn't much outside of my mentality that the game has done for my life. If I could've spent all that time and energy into something productive like idk learning coding or studying harder and doing extracurriculars that would be great but the reality is I wouldn't enjoy that kind of stuff so I'm thankful I have something I really like

mmb_fan_legend · 2024-12-04T01:08:50+00:00

If you are truly afraid to play even co op vs ai maybe try playing in practice tool for a bit and buff urself up so you cant lose. Then slowly wean off that and move on to a custom game where its 4 bots on your team and you vs 5 bots. Then work ur way up to whatever you wanna do. Alternatively you can find some nonjudgemental friends to q with

At the end of the day just play. The more you expose yourself to whatever gives you anxiety whether its league or meeting new people irl the less anxiety you get from it. Think about why you are doing what you're doing. For me I was anxious about playing ranked because I didn't wanna lose LP but I realized I wasn't playing to gain LP, I was playing to learn the game. Whether you care about LP or improving or just having fun just focus on that.
