I would have helped, but I literally have exams in a week, so I do not have time to do VOD Reviews in this period.
I honestly feel bad uninstalling WoW more than anyone’s feelings on this forum. They at least get where I’m coming from. I think I need to avoid modern games. So basically I’ll never play new games again. Unless it’s like pokemon where there’s no other human interaction. Steam, it really didn’t matter since I didnt have any steam games downloaded at the time. Except I will say the only game from steam I liked that one of my old OW teams gave me wae Huniepop 2. And not for the reason you’d think, I never knew I liked puzzle games.
But I really have no regrets, you guys are good at this game good. Have fun. I’m leaving and never looking back. No reason to be remorseful for a game I never liked from a gameplay perspective more of a opportunity perspective. I really wanted to play for the fusion if you couldn’t tell.

If you still enjoy WoW then it wouldn’t harm you to play it casually
I literally only play OW and TF2 occasionally lol
Best of luck then, do whatever makes you happy and take care of your physical and mental health

I want to play WoW hardcore; the issue is there isn’t like a league for it. I know there’s the Arena event but I wish there were more of an OWL for WoW for battlegrounds.
Also props to playing TF2, I heard it’s infested with bots. Idk if this true, but I knew there was something going on where aimbots and lagbots were rampant.

Sounds like it just made your life better.

No, it ruined it, I cost me $20 bucks I’ll never get back. It gave me exposure to people I loathe. And most importantly it cost me WoW time. Instead of play this, I could’ve been practicing my WoW. Even most memorable moment of me carrying my college team against a T500 team as brig doesnt bring me joy.

Oh please, losing 20 bucks isn’t the end of your life
Finding a healthier hobby can definitely help you detox and forget about this community
It’s never too late to keep playing WoW lol

$20 bucks is $20 bucks, I could’ve spent that on food or tickets to a show. Or hell put it into the stock market. Or donated it to some charity.

you’ll regret this. Play games for fun, and don’t let anybody tell you that this is what makes you grow up. I quit gaming in my 20’s for the same reason, and then I was just miserable for taking away one of the things I found fun. If it isn’t fun anymore, then quit, but not because of this abstract ‘you need to quit to grow up’ mentality.

In some countries $20 is a months worth of food
I mean, define someone who games. I’ve played maybe a few hours in the past two weeks. Does that make me
I’m pretty sure you are projecting a bit here. And while it may be that bad for you, for most people, it’s not that way.
I don’t know about you, but I have fun playing games. What good has ever come out of watching a movie? Or any “entertainment” activity? Well, it’s relaxing, it’s fun, a nice break, etc. etc.
I would actually say this is VERY BAD, lol.
I think this is your problem. You, for some reason, are putting too much importance on winning. I think when you get older, you will learn that it’s not important. I used to really care if I won a game when I was younger, but as I got older, I realized that being good at a video game is literally one of the least important things in this life. I think you will come to learn that in time. And if I lose a game, guess what, I don’t care and just play again.
One of my favorite things is when someone tells me in game I suck, and I say, you’re right. I do suck at a video game. lol.
Because it literally doesn’t matter at all.

I’d agree if I have nothing as a backup, but I still got my grades to pursue happiness by being rich or an owner of a company. Games/Hobbies/Friends aren’t for me. All I care about is winning and being the best. And no one told me to stop playing games, that was just me. Games haven’t taught me anything valuable. I truly miss my sports career, if I had the chance I’d replay my life from when I played sports I would. Games I have little fond memories of. Like I said early, me dominating a T500 as a gold doesn’t even make me smile anymore.
There’s no only black and white, no one enjoy losing.
The difference here is between accepting a loss and refusing it.
Losing sucks but getting angry over it doesn’t bring us nothing of value, we just have to take what we got, think about our mistakes and what we learned from that loss and go to the next game with the new knowledge acquired.
There’s no learning without failure, there’s no progression without losses.
GG go next.

The short and simplified story i’m getting from this is that OP wanted to become a pro OWL player but after a year or so he didnt get close and gave up on gaming in general.
Be honest OP. what made you think you had what it takes to become a pro-player for OWL? Did you have outstanding stats in another game like CS or TF2 or amazing game sense? because so far all i can see is a drive to win but just having that isnt close to enough, considering you are in college you probably had limited time to play so a ton of practice isnt something you’d really get. Did you even set realistic expectations for yourself? you are in gold right now so you were probably high silver/low gold to begin with so how realistic was it for you to expect you’d get into OWL at this time-period when you saw your starting rank?

You sound like you are very young and still figuring things out. I am not going to tell you that materialistic things don’t matter and true happiness is derived from friendship and the passion you have for things, be it hobbies, work, or sports. You’ll need to figure this out yourself and decide what’s right for you.
The only advice I want to offer you is to stay open minded and not shut yourself off due to frustration caused by a video game, or any other experience for this matter. Losing is part of live and a valuable lesson that helps you overcome your weaknesses and evolve.

I mean I thought I had a shot when playing for my Tespa team and seeing how I was able to hold myself with a higher team. I wanted to be an OWL player to compensate for my hockey career that got ruined due to injury issues and playing an outdated style of hockey. I was hoping I could redeem myself for my shattered collarbone and my 2 concussions that prevented me from pursuing a career in hockey. I’ve been playing OW since launch, I started as an Xbox player and then last year I got OW for PC.
Ok. Don’t take away something you think is fun, for some false thought that it’s going to make you ‘grown up’. Everybody should try for perfection, but that doesn’t mean you should be upset if you don’t achieve it. You do you, and if that other stuff makes you fulfilled go for it.

I’m just tired of getting taken advantage of. No one likes the loser. Everyone wants the winner. As for my life, yeah I have my life made up. As soon as I get out of school, which I can’t wait for, it’s time to “que” for business comp. Whatever job pays me the most is what I’m going to, idc about fun or whatever. I want to get paid. And then using every advantage to my ability and cut out distractions like friends, family, anything that isn’t my job to climb to the top of the mountain. This might sound barbaric but it’s so far worked for me. I’m in the top 5% of my class and while I want to be the 1% I do not know if I physically can do that. I’ll die happy if I know if I gave 100% every second in every day I live.

There is no way this is serious, is it? It is just a game, it literally does not matter at all in any way shape, or form. It is supposed to be played for fun??? I’m stunned really.
