Dunkey. That's the dude who has the icon of a Donkey wearing a secret agent suit and voices all his videos like he's high as hell or something yes? That's an interesting person to get an actual opinion from.

Well uh. Because a few other people are doing so I'll do it too which is answer the questions and stuff.

'''" Do I still enjoy this game as much as I did when I started playing?" '''

I enjoy it more actually. Now that I understand a lot more about the game, I'm at level 30, I'm no longer strapped for IP, and I have this wiki to visit whenever I need help I have a lot of fun learning and stratagizing about things and discussing and debating the general game. In game oddly enough you'll almost never hear me say anything but here I talk a lot about everything that goes on.

I don't really know how I could enjoy the game less as time goes by without having some delusion about the game that wasn't really there.

''' " Do I still have fun playing my favourite champs or do I just play to win?" '''

What sort of a question is that? This is the sort of thing you asked a ranked player who plays the champion that nets them the most wins, not the person who plays their favorite champ. The person that plays their favorite champ plays to win by having fun playing their favorite champ. The person who has fun by playing to win plays the champ that wins them the most matches which ends up being their favorite.

Any woman with a closet full of shoes can tell you that the whim decides the favoritism.

I play, buy, and pick champs depending on how it compliments the chemistry of the composition and how it can counter the enemy or bolster my personal weaknesses as a player. Even if I really enjoy the champion if I can't find a way to use them effectively I don't even buy them and I can buy every champion I want. I decide what I need and then I make use of it and when my plan comers together I like it as much as all my other successful plans and an unsuccessful plan is just a project waiting to be worked on and luckily the constantly changing game makes that all to easy to get someone, everyone; off the bench eventually.

''' "Do I still get satisfaction out of doing well other than the relief of not being the reason your team is losing?" '''

Yes? What sort of question is this, again? I always try to do my best. If I feel that I genuinely underperformed and was the reason we lost I'll seek repentance and fix what I did wrong. Surprisingly this will make the harsh ciritism I get from time to time something I actually take to heart and dwell on and occasionally I can hear the voices of the other players in my head with reponses on what they could be saying. Again I do not really engage anyone with text 99% of the time.

But I always hear and listen to what other people say. Even if I do not care for it sometimes that will be the stuff I fix about myself and be grateful for doing so.

When my team loses and I'm not the reason why we lost I just take defeat as it comes. What is there to really say or feel about it other than we lost and we tried?

''' "Do I REALLY want to queue up for another game even if you don't get any excitement or joy out of the anticipation?" '''

This sounds like the qualms of the caged rat of forced habit. What sort of a person does this sort of thing that isn't doing it out of habit? I always had a feeling that some people play this game while they are going through the motions. They make for very poor players from what I can tell. The worst kind. The sort that do really well when they care but they don't care any more.

I play the game as a chance to play and win at least a single match in the mode of my choosing. The invitation of a friend may cajole me into a marathon or wanting to prove my data in a live match also comes into play.

I'm not anchored to anything in particular though. I know when I go full tilt I need to back off and sometimes I find different things to do with my time and don't login for the day or several days even though I may only voluntarily play a couple matches a day.

I do get genuinely tired when I played a lot of matches back to back though. SO there's that.

''' "Can I really keep calm and play the game in a community as tainted as this?" '''

Sure you can. If I can you can. I can't tell you how many places and people made me feel miserable for even existing. In real life and online. I don't like online play and I don't have a compeitive spirit. I have a habit of losing when it's up to chance and I lack the charm that comes with being part of a spirited collection of inidivuals engaging in a rousing collaboration.

And yet I still like this game and still go through everything. I enjoy being apart of teams working to win and I like the challenge of outsmarting enemy players who are in fact human. I make an endavour to excercise my right to report and refuse invitations. I excercise all my power and when I'm the one whose done something wrong I punish myself as well.

I am familiar with those who have never attained a way to stay cool when pressured and tested so if the answer is no then that is it but I think, you can do it.
