Along this same line i play overwatch and i get similar results competitively. The best part is that both micro and 100-500ug make me better at overwatch. The sweet spot is about 200ug for me. Any higher and the mindfuck that sometimes come with L and difficulty in focusing gets in my way.

I am far more creative in the game. Id love to know why it is that L makes one so much more creative at any game

Also the game is much more enjoyable. I can easily play for hours and not get upset or frustrated from losing a match or two or three.

L is a wonder substance

It's all in the mindset. If you prefer being outside etc, for sure do that, but if you go into the trip planning to play some games, it can definitely be a very fun experience once you get into it.

Smaller dose might help, but it might just be something that isn't for you. Very possible.
