A serious Letter towards Riot

I have been playing your game since season 4, and it has been many years of stress, fun, and hard work. To this day I still remember fondly of the first LCS game I watched, Fnatic vs Samsung white and seeing Xpeke going absolutely ham on Zed. That was the day Xpeke became my idol until his fall in origen. That was the day where I fell in love with league of legends and realized "this game is going to be something big". And for the most part I was completely right, league of legends exploded in popularity, it exploded into a pro respectable scene. It became something where I could talk to my co worker in his 50s about without feeling ashamed. That was something gamers use to never be able to do.

In the generation before mine, many gamers can verify that if you were a gamer, a comic book lover, that if you chose creative things over sports, you were considered a loser, someone weird, someone not normal. But I would like to say League of legends played a major role in destroying those stereotypes. Showing the world how cool gaming can actually be.

Every season with the exclusion of my first, and even this season I been successful in getting gold. (just got demoted but details). This season however was going to be different for me.

This season I told myself. "we are going to be a league of legends coach and get diamond, we are going to become a successful streamer and you tuber". I made a promise to myself that before this year ended I was going to put my foot into the path way of becoming a strong, respectable and successful league of legends player.

And you know what? I did make some major steps in accomplishing that. I befriended challenger ranking players, I befriended specific youtubers whom I followed for years. I'm not talking "oh I am a mod on their twitch stream" I am talking, I literally send back and forth messages and have occasional skype calls with these guys where we laugh. I been honing my skills and focusing on what type of player I want to be, and what type of content I want to be.

I feel if I was to just sit down and go full try hard right now, I could probably climb to plat with relative ease if I simply untitled.

This is the year where I can say "I became good at league of legends" and I know I still have so much more to grow from. I know I can grow, I know I can get Diamond if I put my heart and soul into it.

But you know what, all of that may no longer matter.

For the year I finally got serious about league.

You guys are literally doing everything to kill the game I love.

Please take this seriously. Jobs and entire communities depend on you guys doing your job right.
