Oldest non-pro player paying LoL

OK, I've searched various forums and threads and have found a few discussions about the oldest LCS player, but I've seen nothing about how old the oldest non-pro or "John Q Public" League player might be. I know that's a stat that is probably impossible to come by since there are no data sources (short of someone who works at Riot managing accounts) for players' ages. I'm just curious because I'll be 43 in January. I know most, if not all, of the pro players (NA and international) are in their late teens and early 20's, which is probably the majority of League's demographic, but what about the other end of the spectrum? I got into League a little over a year ago because my oldest son (18) played. I used to play WoW and came across players in their 50's and 60's and even went PvP against a guy in his mid 70's (and got my pee-pee smacked pretty good). I'm just wondering if I'm in the upper range of the age spectrum or if it extends past the 40's. Don't really know why I want to know, just hoping that there are more dads out there besides me playing. I'm not asking for all of you to respond with your ages and such, I was just curious and figured what better place to try and get answers. I also have to admit, it's a bit of an ego thing (OK, maybe more than a bit) to be able to say "I'm one of the oldest players playing Leauge". Yes, I'm sad that way.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY YOUR TEAM

Yea.. I have no doubt there are people in their 80s playing this game. They might be a complete minority, but they're there.

Sorry about your ego Stumpy but I am a Mom and over 50 ( wow that number hurts though ;)) I always wanted to play against my own age group but I think we are minority :(
