Why do I crave to play League of Legends if I never really get any enjoyment out of it but plenty of misery?

For several years now I can't really enjoy games anymore. I play for minutes then I'm bored, even though I try to find interesting games for hours every day.

But one of the few games that keeps drawing me in every now and then is LoL.

Every year or so, I get hooked for a while, since like 2010. I end up doing the same thing for the past few years: install the game, play like 5 or even 10 or more games in one day, realize I hate it, then I delete it SWEARING to myself that I won't play again. The very next day I reinstall it, rinse and repeat for a few weeks or even a month or two until I quit for good for a year. I literally uninstall/reinstall it tens of times, cause I fucking hate it but crave it too.

Here's the thing, why the fuck do I crave it?
Even after trying hard to improve for years, watching many guides and whatnot, I still suck (silver rank at best). I'll never be good at it. Winning doesn't give me any joy, I chase the dragon of winning and when I do win it's just slight relief, a very "meh" feeling. And yet losing makes me furious sometimes (most of the time just slightly frustrated).

I think there's just nothing more interesting for me to do in life, so I just gravitate to this, even if I don't even find it all that interesting.
 
I personally never liked that game, looks boring kinda.
I think you might be addicted? Maybe similar to jerking off to porn out of addiction even if you are not horny enough.
 
you miss playing with Annie(your waifu)
 
I played it religiously for a few years, still suck at it. I play DoTA now and I suck at that too.
 
Bro I never same’d so much in my life

same same same
 
I haven't logged in for months even though it's still installed. I'd rather stare at blank wall than play league
 
The game play loop is addicting and refreshing (at least for me.

But I was dropping way too much cash than I needed to into that game. So I forced myself to quit
