I'm not sure I agree with your takeaway. It sounds to me like you were searching for optimal paths. Baiting individuals into 1 vs. 1 is more optimal than fighting a crowd. Killing enemies out of aggro range is more optimal is you're looking to preserve health. I don't think there's anything about the game that is giving you that joy. It's the fact that you are discovering strategies yourself. When games have large online communities, it's like setting off an AI. You have so many people trying different strategies and sharing them with others that you don't get the joy of solving it yourself.
