Yeah hypercompetitiveness isn't my thing when it comes to video games and I hate how it ruined League of Legends and it's community. I've heard that it's so much harder to make art/animations or any sort of original content now because the only thing the League community cares about is ranks and esports. It also doesn't help that Riot is sorta endorsing and encouraging this sort of behavior as well, which is why so many of the original content creators moved on because it's just so *competitive*.
Stuff like that is the reason why I end to avoid PvP games in general because once it starts becoming serious, the fun is all sucked up and it's no longer about having fun. It's all about winning and never about the experience overall.
