Video Game Addiction Thread

I finally admitted to myself that I am addicted to Heroes Of The Storm.

>play first thing in the morning
>play last thing at night
>rarely socialize during the weekend
>procrastinate over responsibilities
>loss steaks become fits of rage that linger IRL
>complain about bad teammates to friends
>not even that good; mediocre at best

Just deleted the fucking game, I want to be free.

Please share struggles & success stories.

This is a symptom of all ASSFAGGOTS user.

wrong board fag, and hots isn't even good.

>addicted
No, you just have no self control.
There's a big difference.

I found the new loot system to be addictive but when i played the game with people i found the stupidity of the playerbase overwhelming and just quit.

hey your addictions are not too bad.. i am addicted to:
>alcohol
>cigarettes
>interracial porn (BLACKED)
>fruit loops cereal

>tfw played lots of strategy games as a kid/teenager
>tfw now very strategic-minded

it worked out i guess

play a real game like out of the park baseball you fucking pleb

> input time
> receive dopamine release
> generate revenue for someone else by using their product

It's all neurochemistry, you configure your brain to release chemicals like dopamine, the games you waste time on will become old and obsolete

The sick thing is the way society tricks people into thinking this is how you receive satisfaction, avoiding to teach alternative methods

Dota is a much better game imo.

But I thought Sup Forums told me video games aren't addictive

I feel like getting addicted to Heroes of the Storm would be similar to getting addicted to punching yourself in the face, maybe that's just me tho

addiction is just doing things over and over despite knowing its bad for you. video game addiction can be as jenky as opiate addiction. i can quit opis for a week but my skin crawls quitting vidya for a week
yeeee you know whats up. i basically only play dota and an obscure russian dystopian roleplaying game that you need to know someone else who plays to be able to play. i got over 200 beastmaster games. i love that hero
i quit hots my first game 10min in and uninstalled

>playing any kind of MOBA

you have an addiction
find any general model for coping with an addiction and you'll come through, just have some self-discipline

>play wow daily since 2009
>still get to fuck 8/10 girls
>still have a social life
>almost done with a 4 year college

If its addicting to do what you love then I assume anyone who works on their project car all weekend or goes to the range to shoot is also addicted to those things then?

I can't stop playing ss13

It's just perfect

>Heroes Of The Storm.

don't play team games without friends

>addicted to the worst shit tier excuse of a game Blizz has ever made just as an excuse to chip away at Riot
>not addicted to WoW at any point before 4.0
Kys, and you are not and never will be my man

I was addicted to LoL back in 2012. I had no friends and used the team aspect of mobas to compensate.
I tried to quit several times once I realized how much my grades were suffering and how many opportunities I was passing up, but I still was only able to kick it once my graphics card died and I was physically unable to play.

Not sure that can be considered a success, but I know where you've been, op

You jest, but you're right. I've always gone back even though (or, especially when) having enraging loss streaks.

How the hell do you get addicted to video games anymore. Metro and MGS V were the only games I've even played in the last five years and even then, I only spent a weekend on each. Do they even make games worth playing anymore?

I was addicted to video games once, but I played Crusader Kings II so much that I got tired and now I don't play anything. I'm cured.

Addicted to rocket league even tho I'm shit. Got black market decal today tho.

>>interracial porn (BLACKED)
>>fruit loops cereal

I'm addicted to a certain half-life 2: deathmatch server.

I'm the best. the only reason I'm ranked #2 and not #1 is because I've only been playing the game for about 6 weeks.

>playing any blizzard game
