Thank You Riot
So I was thinking about how I'm going off to college in one year and I'm going to have to pay for my own bills and study and devote more time to work and I suddenly realized, I may have to stop playing League. So for a nano second I was like, "That's it, I'm not going to college!", but that was quickly put down. Then I thought, even if I have the time, will I be able to pay for Wi-Fi?
This game came out October 27, 2009. I started roughly in late 2010, around the end of season 1, whenever that was. Since then I have had a lot go on in my life. I have Gone through my strange pubescent stages, I have gotten into high school, I have become an avid actor, I have almost completed High school. I have had summers "wasted" (or so my dad likes to say, I prefer "slowly climbing to LCS") sitting in my bedroom in Mario pj's trying to carry Bronze 1 adc's because I'm a support main. I have had phases where I didn't touch the game for months because I was worried about my image and had to work out every night and make sure my hair always looked good. I have been banned for leaving games too often, because my internet used to REALLY suck. And I don't know what it is about this game, but I keep coming back for more. When I lose I feel like there is so much more for me to learn. When I win an hour long game and revel in that VICTORY sign, I always have to hesitate before clicking continue.
So I just wanted to say thank you, sincerely, to Riot Games for making this amazing game that has united people from around the world. For this amazing game that has evolved and grown alongside me. For creating a lasting community where I can meet friends, rivals, and even enemies. For allowing me to be Thresh
, and drag peoples soul's away from their teams , for allowing me to be Rengar
, and stalk the jungle and my pray. Thank you for ruining every other game I have played since 2010 because it doesn't meet the entertainment factor you guys have created. Thank you to the sound department for creating music that envelops you in the world, and allows you to feel how the champions do (
especially Tidecaller). Thank you to the art team for creating characters that feel real and designing both cool, silly, and breathtaking skins. Thank you to the programmers for making sure that thresh hook landed even though I'm like 90% sure I missed. Thank you to everyone involved in the creation, and maintenance for creating an everlasting memory that I swear to never forget.
-Sincerely Lavacrush
