What has league given you?

So I thought I would post a thread where people can post what they've gotten out of league of legends.

For me, a little back story.

My brother and I for the first 20 years of my life never really got along. With a 4 year age difference, we never really matched up in interests, friends, or hobbies. Often times I would find myself playing games alone, with my brother dismissing me, and at times openly hostile towards my presence. My childhood was spent constantly fighting with him. We were always holding a grudge against each other, we each have a plethora of scars from the other, such was the degree that we fought.

Eventually, after years of trying to gain his approval and develop a good brotherly relationship I finally just gave up. As far as I was concerned, he was no brother to me, because all he ever did was exploit our relationship in a way that harmed me. That's when I found league of legends. In league, I found a game in which I built camaraderie with people from the internet, joined groups online, and had a blast. Yet still, I longed for a brother that would do more than tease, yell, and fight with me.

Fast Forward 2 years, and lo and behold, my brother has started playing, and came to me for tips on the game, how not to die, etc etc etc. Over the course of one month, we went from people that couldn't tolerate the sight of the other to two people who would always crack jokes together, enjoyed each other's presence, and, dare I say, acted as the brothers that I always wanted. So to Riot, I say thank you.

TL:DR : League gave me my brother.
