I played quite a lot of league of legends (probably 10k games), but I stopped playing all compute games in the last two years.

Competitive games in general feel like STEM olympiads: you have an objective ranking, you have challenges, you have competitition. You deal with hard problems related to performance: how to keep improving? Which topics are hard for me?

It was crazily important for my personal development, but as with olympiads, eventually there isn't a lot of new things to learn, at least things that you will carry with you for life.
