>i keep tilting and working my ass off trying to leave this shitty Platinum rank and reach my dream - diamond

This fucking sucks... Are there any other artist that got their lives taken by this game?
Worst of all - i don't want to joing bandwagon of Overwatch fanarts because i hate its community. Because its toxic and shitty. And it turns me off. I feel like people who draw beauitufl fan arts of Overwatch don't really play this game or play with friends only and in quickplays.

Please help - i don't want to waste my second year playing Overwatch instead of drawing.
>tfw im 29 and drawing sinse 2006 but somehow this game completely ate me alive so i can't stop
I do have almost all skins and everything + my level is very high.
May be i should just sell my account?
Are there other artists that had sort of a career but then it was eaten by some bad habit?

Not your blog, fuck off. If you wanted to draw you'd draw right now and not make this dumb post for attention.

Yep, don't know much about Overwatch but I have a friend who would make some side money marketing LoL accounts. Some people just have too much money, I guess.

Anyways, best of luck to you. I was in a similar situation although mine was more about using videogames as an easy escape from a shitty life.

that's exactly what it is for me with overwatch

Overwatch is a perfect world of future. Filled with flying cars cyborgs and talking monkeys. Surely better than my shitty life.
First few months playing it was like taking narcotics. not like i know how they feel

I believe Zedig did the opposite and made a career out of Overwatch. Every tay he streams Overwatch, then he streams some drawing and I don't think he has any time for client work, so he must be getting by on twitch subscriptions and donations and shit like that.

Point is these threads shouldn't be a part of this board. We don't need whiners that can't lift a damn pencil. Stop blogposting

I'd tell you to fuck off to the feel thread but it looks like mod deleted it for some reason. Enjoy your cancer /ic/.

Don't mind the crabs who've lost their joy and souls after grinding too much fundies.
Sorry in advance for blogging, but I had kind of the same problem with LoL, last year I wanted to hit Master elo as a diamond player and I couldn't do anything else with my free time. It's way easier to just get on your computer and hop into a game than getting yourself to concentrate in front of your tablet to focus and improve.
I don't know how long the games of Overwatch are on average but a typical LoL game is 30-40 mins, loading/etc included. I set a rule for myself: No more than 3 games a day. That's around 2 hours of videogames a day max, which is reasonable considering I have around 9 hours of free time per day not spent working/sleeping.
I stuck to this rule and hit Masters just before the preseason. That's the thing, if you limit yourself to a few games a day and make it an habit you will be enjoying yourself more and be more focused. 1~2 hours a day is still a lot of time.
That's what worked for me. Set a rule, stick to it. Good luck with your art and your videogame climbing.
