It's my displeasure to announce on the boards here, that recently one of the veteran players of this game has had a lot of awful stuff happen to him. I'm not saying it's worse than what you or people you know have gone through, what I am saying is, this is someone who has been making league videos for a long time. He is the reason I became a jungler primarily and I've been watching him for over a year now.

In his most recent video he explained that he hadn't uploaded a video in a month because of his parents splitting up, his uncle dying, his wife leaving him, lootcrate no longer sponsoring him, and possibly having to give up his dogs to keep his apartment. All in the same week. I'm not a person for speeches or encouragement, I just don't have the gift. But for someone who has been giving to this community for so long now, I would urge those who see this to give back to him. I feel as if he was one of the few content creators who understood the game and cared more about instructing properly rather than getting attention.

I think it's time to give him attention. Nothing feels better when you've been kicked down than having others pick you back up. He has a patreon for those who are interested, https://www.patreon.com/Stonewall008 And I would highly recommend looking at some of his other videos.

And, whatever you do, don't make this about me. Spread the word about stonewall, and show him some support. He needs it now more than ever. Make your own posts about this if you have to.

What hit me the hardest was his wife leaving him, around the same time his parents split up and his family member died. What kind of person does that to someone when they've lost so much??

already tossed the guy 50 to patreon. he says he might lose his dogs, and after everything, i want him to at least keep his 2 best friends

jesus christ, thats so hard to hear. what a patient, intelligent, respectable man. such a tragedy that the complete opposite kind of channel like brofresco is the one that prospers by lying and manipulating his impressionable audience by making 20 minute videos rambling about pointless cringey bullshit

Wow that's terrible. I didn't actually see the video in my sub box because the image was a black box. I've been watching his videos for almost 5 years now. His videos are what taught my jungler friend everything he knows about the game back in season 2. His "take no bullshit' attitude has caught him a lot of flak in the past but he has gotten better about speaking to others.

Sadly I have been out of a job for about almost 2 years so I can't help myself, let alone alone another person. Guess the best I can do is watch his videos.

Things aren't all bad. His issues with his dogs could be solved by moving to a smaller apartment that allows pets. I mean now that his wife is gone he doesn't need as much space. A smaller apartment means less rent too, so the loss of income from being dropped by his sponsor won't be as big of a deal. At the very worst, his dad probably needs a place to live now, so they could get a place together.

You just have to try and look on the bright side of life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlBiLNN1NhQ

Stonewall and pawnce are the only pure content creators left on the godforsaken league youtube community

I've loved him since S3 and I'll be glad to donate something. This video broke my heart.

I'll miss him if he decides no more YouTube, but he's gotta do whatever's best for him.

I didnt watch the whole video, but SH!T I want to just go over to him and give him a hug or something, like i haven't seen this much shit happen in such a short timespan EVER before. Stonewall, dude, if you ever need encouragement, I , and a lot of other fans, are here.

I'll admit that I don't always like Stonewall and think he can be pretty condescending, but I still think he did a great job overall with his videos and has helped me among a lot of other people learn the jungle way back before other people really helped people. I was pretty much lost in the jungle before seeing his videos, so I thank him for all the time and effort he put into his videos to help new players. I been playing this game since Season 2 so I am definitely not new anymore, but at the time when I first started he taught me everything I knew about the jungle.

I really hope things get better for him, I don't wish something like this to happen to anyone. Overall I am very thankful to him and think he's a pretty good person. I can't put any money forward this month because I spent too much already on stupid shit, but next month I'll be a patron.

He was the first League Youtuber I ever watched, and he is my favorite until today. Good luck for him, I dropped 10$ on Patreon for him.

The fact that he's able to talk about all of this at all is legitimately impressive to me. What a fucking trooper.
