After all the Mid lane mage AP nerfs i'm bowing out of this game.

I had some serious fun. My first game with Veigar I got 26 kills and then he got nerfed. I used to main Nidalee and at that time you couldn't one shot someone with a spear but I could hit them and watch 80-90% of their life dissapear. I used to get two solo kills in laning phase as Mid Nidalee nearly every game. After the kill in /all chat I would type, "rowr," or "meow" Then Nidalee got nerfed to hell. After Nidalee I discovered I could dominate games with Ahri and she became my main for a long time. One game In normals I was playing with a C9 alternate and we two manned the enemy 2v5 easily. Also while playing Ahri I played with Dyrus from TSM the night before they lost to CLG in the North American championships. Lee Sin had just been buffed and he played Lee and I played Ahri and we slaughtered the enemy 20-1. I was so excited to play with Dyrus and wished him luck in the Championship the next day.

The champion I hated playing against most in my career is Yasuo. Except for a while when I mastered Velkoz and Azir and could dominate Yasuo's during those times. I played over 100 of the games champions. I level 5'd 13 of them. I played over a thousand games in three years.

AP nerfs over time killed my ability to control games. Especially in this latest season. We used to be called AP Carries like AD Carries. Now not so much.

I spent 20 hours over two days in custom matches learning to last hit with Leblanc. I remember how cheated I felt when I trained last hitting with an ADC and realized how much easier it was for them to kill minions.

There were times I deleted people with Leblanc, Nidalee, Ahri, Azir, Kassadin, Vel Koz that made me feel like I was Bjergsen and Faker. Those moments where you land every skill shot in a fraction of a second and delete anything in your path.

I spent a lot of time in Bronze, but I killed people from every single level of the game even Gold, Platinum, Diamnonds and Challengers. I went toe to toe with Redmercy on his Zed and me on Velkoz and very nearly defeated his team until he went off at the end and carried his team from way behind. That was a super fun match.

Lol is amazing. Paying real money, big money for skins is stupid. Skins are way overpriced. Grinding to lvl 30 was stupid what an incredible pain in the ass that was. Also grinding marks really sucked. After over a 1000 games and three years I still didn't have a full tank set of marks.

Losing Lp for an afk or feeder on the team sucks. I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours trying to win 4v5 matches which are impossible if the enemy split pushes. Playing against highly skilled players who are on Smurfs really sucked. The algorithm that put me against highly skilled smurf players when I was on gigantic win streaks was really stupid.

My best game I had 32 kills. I never, ever got a Pentakill but got a few Quadrakills. I got hundreds of doubles and triples. I had probably over 50 zero death games where the enemy surrendered before 20 minutes. I met hundreds of friends. I played Lol on headset with lots of different people trying to grow together, to be more like the Pro's.

I watched hundreds of LCS, LCK, matches. I followed the careers of TSM, TiP Rush, Faker and more fervently.

I gave three years of my life dedicated to mastering Lol. I watched thousands of hours of instructional video's to understand how to play better. I had fun. But it's time to stop playing video games. I'm 43 years old. I've been playing video games hardcore since Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong were first in the Arcades. Goodbye and good luck Lol. I can't believe I played so many games on one fucking map lol.
