I was scrolling through my friendslist and got incredibly sad just now

Seeing all the names of people I know, but that I don't really know, people I've played with but haven't really formed any bonds with.

Seeing the grayed out names of all my irl friends who introduced me to league, and then slowly over the next 6 years, each one of those names logged off and never logged in again. We still talk, but the late nights of spamming normal games as a group of friends are gone. Even the times slowly after that, where one of us would be on, then another, and we'd peer pressure a few more to take some time out of our schedules to play a game or two to relax and catch up-- those are gone.

Now I'm the last one left, I still play the game, I still have fun, but league of legends has become really empty for me now. Playing alone doesn't have the same feeling it did years ago, maybe I just don't enjoy it anymore? I don't know

Is anyone else experiencing something similar?

I got several hundred people on my friend list, but sadly 95% of them haven't logged on for months/years. I especially noticed my list of friends becoming more and more greyed out at the start of last pre-season (end of season 7, pre-season 8). I only ever see about 10 of them that consistently play.

It is sad to see these online acquaintances/friends slowly die off as they move onto other things. It happens with every online game more or less. But you have the opportunity to make new friends, even with brand new players. We get to be the veterans, the remaining players that hold the torch to guide new players. We get to role play as a sage hahaha so look at it like that I guess.
