this happens too much in overwatch because some event rewards motivates people enough to keep grinding other game modes outside casual & competitive mode.
Their april fools game mode is usually hillarious enough but when people had to replay that for 70 matches it becomes an overused jokes.
It happens too much because too many people are motivated by cosmetics. Simply uncoupling your enjoyment of the game from them helps a lot, in my experience.
in my case the game is only enjoyable for 3-8 matches, felt better in winning streaks obviously. But I've had terrible moments that keeps me up for 70-90 matches in 3 days, or about 3-6 hours a day.
But recently character skins from every events are locked behind paywalls anyway, they don't do skin rewards more often, mostly just charms, spray, voice lines, etc.
