I briefly flirted with a League of Legends addiction a few years ago, and my life improved significantly when I kicked it. I realized that I was dedicating a tremendous amount of mental energy to the game--MOBAs are really information-dense, which (imo) makes them so fun and interesting.

That said, I think one could have a fun and still healthy experience with the game if one played with a dedicated team. If you had a group of five people who were serious about improving their skills, developing coherent gameplans, and sharpening their minds, it could even be useful for one's cognitive processes.

For my money, other hobbies are much more useful and fulfilling in the long run. Good luck with everything.

That would be the way to go to enjoy gaming, wouldn't it? Group activities with someone you care about are always exciting and enjoyable.

    Good luck with everything.

Thank you.
