There is an unpublished study done that games like LoL and DOTA2 are the perfect model of dopamine destruction. They basically get the brain use to a certain amount of pleasurable hits per millisecond that is very unnatural to our current DNA. These people "train" their brain's dopamine unknowingly while playing these MOBAs nonstop every day for several hours a day essentially causing permanent alterations in dopamine transport and dopamine reward.
The majority of hardcore MOBA players as a result cannot enjoy anything except MOBAs. Wish I had a link.
MOBAs and similar dopamine models to MOBAs such as Pokémon Go are the future of gaming.

Interesting. I've heard a little about this. It almost sounds sort of like the damage amphetamine use does to the brain. You know, where dopamine receptacles are so inundated that they burn out. Over time they feel nothing for anything apart from the increased use of the stimulant which further burns out receptacles.
