I just played a game as Malz

Went the usual build, early game was rough. We pulled through to late game. We all played well (well, save for our 2/11 ADC), we made goofy mistakes every now and then. Took objectives. No one was flaming each other even despite our bot lane issues. The jungler knew what to fights to engage on and which ones not to. We cracked jokes at each other, pinged when necessary, and knew when to back off of a lane push. We lost in the end from a J4 backdoor, but guess what.

#I had fun.

I enjoyed playing this match. I felt engaged in my champion and the game itself. Each team fight was a hell of a doozy but an amazing one. No one was blaming each other. No one idiotically tried to 1v3. We just played the game. It's moments like these that tell me this game is not dead. Sure balance is an issue, but if you look past that, League of Legends is enjoyable. Riot, if you're reading this, just know that some people out there still like playing your game. Ignore all the "LoL is dead" and "Riot doesn't play their game" rants. Ignore the beggar, and he will leave. Give him money, and he will stay for more. It's the people who have hope for change are the ones who keep playing, the people who patiently wait for change rather than try and rush it, giving time for safety tests and preparations.

#Keep up the great work Riot. Keep this game running strong.
