A letter to a very special lady

I bought you with RP back in summer 2015. You slowly weened me away from my OTP with Udyr, you and Gnar, working together. I got better at Jungling, early ganking, everything, just so I could play you more. I bought your Pool Party skin the day it was released.

You eventually surpassed Udyr as my highest-Mastery champion. Yes, we eventually drifted apart, but I still played you on a semi-regular basis. I never abandoned you. Ever. Even when you became popular in the LC$ and got nerfed into oblivion, I stood by your side in your darkest hours. Every growl, tort, screech and crackle from you was a delight. Everyone was saying, "Build Tank! Build tank, what the hell are you doing?!", but I never did. I tried, but it wasn't...it wasn't you. A fighter, an assassin! That was you. That's how I always played you. Hit top, ult bot, tunnel mid, hit top, tunnel mid, tunnel bot, ult top...we danced around the map beautifully. Everyone blew you up, but you blew everyone up faster. Never has the term "Nuked" had more meaning to me than when I got your assassin build maxed out. We called the ADCs squishy, and they were ours, and they were our squishies.

Now you're being changed. Our dance will be different now. No longer will you be the globally oppressive totalitarian landshark I've come to love. Now, a fighter, and a proper one at that! I cheered during your high points. I stuck with you during your low points. I play you even now, with an M7 token for you in my loot collection. In a few days, if not tomorrow, the shift will roll out. And, just like the past two and a half years of your three year lifetime, I'll be there.

You remember the nuclear launch codes, right? Because bot lane just pinged for assistance...
