The Premade That Gave Me Hope
I played a ranked game. Usually play Soraka support. Usually play aggressive cuz I thought that rejuvenation would help me back up during and after trades. Usually don't think I would get ganked. In hindsight, I probably should've expected it. As their fiddlesticks ulted into our lane, with the enemy Alistar headbutting and chain-ccing me into a Caitlyn trap, I tilted. It wasn't this sole event either. Went to clear a ward cuz i pinked it. A fiddlesticks ulted point blank from tribush. Went to ward a bush. Accidentally grazed the 'R' key. But then the threeman premade consoled me. They said it was all right. That it was fine. That they were all at that stage one time or another. I knew it wasn't. For god's sake, I accidentally ulted. But they reassured me it was all right. Not a single time during that game was a harsh word even directed at me, nor was it directed towards the other solo-er nor towards each other (i had asked previously if they were using a communication system like skype so i would know to follow if only a single one of them pinged). I had literally just asked them to flame me. I really needed it. I've been so used to being flamed by a team that I've practically been better at functioning with flamers than functioning with such an angelic premade. We eventually won that game. I was able to soon turn my score around, from a 0-4-0 to a 1-6-16. It may not look much, but the whole point that I was able to turn my score around just that little much was nothing short of a miracle. The best part---They honored me. I told them I loved them and i wished them the best of luck their next coming games. But when i exited the post-game lobby, I found this little gem. One honor from each of the premades. One honor from each category. Knowing that there are people, let alone premades, like that in this world gives me hope.
