Thank you to Riot Socrates. It must be tough sticking your neck out. [Sort-of thank you letter]

With the exception to the summoner's code regarding Tyler1 being all the rage recently (literally), i felt the need to point out something very few might think of.

Riot Socrates is simply representing the behavioural team (at least the one working with the North American shard of League of Legends).

He had to stick his neck out to inform the community of Riot's decision. Thus he also became the hate target of the majority of Tyler1 fans browsing the boards, looking for an outlet for their frustration.

It must be tough facing so much hate from so incredibly many people. I realize its your job, but that doesnt mean it should be like this. Heck, since its his job it should be the exact opposite - the man is doing this for a living day in and day out (perhaps even working with one of his great passions?) and these situations must make the work a lot tougher than it need be.

I'm confident you're slowly but surely improving the playerbase, even if it's little by little! I hope this situation will quickly abate, and that it doesnt affect you personally too much.

Thank you for your great work trying to make the game and the community a safer and friendlier place for all of us. Sticking out in the sea of board posts is hard, but on the off-chance someone that knows you comes across this, i hope they point out that there are a lot of us very grateful for what you and your companions do for us.

Keep it up! With ALL my respect, Aldduren - huge fan of your work, with a burning passion for improving player behaviour.
