I'm 30 and I always get the same reaction when I'm playing from younger people. "Wow, you are a grandpa" etc. I just wondered, is it so strange that older fans still play this game at that age?
I still play because I've been a fan of this game from my 20's. I like the characters and I find it a really good reaction test which I don't get from my occupation.
30 is NOT that old!
im 36 , i grew up with the 1st gaming consoles of the time, people in my age range grew up with video games so its part of our lives.
It's not unusual at all. Younger people act like they invented gaming. They can't see beyond their small experiences. People have been gaming for decades, longer than most of them have been alive.
Speaking as a 29 year old that still plays minecraft every so often, we're going be one unusual generation as we get older. The kids are not going to know what to make of us since every child before them had different interests from their elders.
I look forward to being a grandpa that can beat the grandkids at their own video games.
It's normal for adults to enjoy video games, but most adults have less free time on their hands than children do, so engagement usually tapers off.
My best support I had was a little old lady, she was 72.
WAS. Haven't met another person as old.
Her fav joke : "the cancer in this game is gonna be the end of me"
Never doubt someone because of age.
How does the subject of age come up so frequently in your games?
I'm 28. 3 kids of my own. My reaction time and judgment is definitely what's kept me in silver for so long. I still enjoy the game as it keeps me on my toes and tests my patience.
Yes, it's perfectly normal for people in their 30s to be gamers. lol
I'm 38...we're children of the 80s, and we grew up with a Nintendo controller in our hands. We're the OG gamers, and proof you don't have to give up what you love when you grow up. :)

You're never old to play games, but technically those from 70s - 80s experience the birth development of gaming. It's practically an eternal hobby.
I mean, as a fellow 30-year-old, we're in that 8-10 year gap as the first generation where PC-gaming was sort of a fundamental part of our childhood. It's not abnormal, certainly, but it's probably still surprising to a lot of the younger players.
34 here been playing games since i was 5 and i been here since early season 1 which would be around 23-24 years old when the game went live i was here before you kid and i'll probably be here after you move along with your childish antics :)
I don't see a problem with age in games
32 here ^_^....... Still play this and minecraft as well (seeing as I saw some other mention it thought I would to). Anyway yea I have never really had it come up in a game at all. Not that I would lie I don't feel old.... actually most the time people think I a m younger when they see me so shrugs anyway as you can op your not alone.
Well, the notion of "normal" - kept/keeps changing with every generation. This days, normality is defined by the largest groups of people within a society (back in the old days used be defined by the elders and the king of a nation - or the chief or a tribe). Tho, if there's a large enough group of people who identifies with a certain lifestyle - it really doesn't matter what the majority considers normal - cause you have "your own people" within a society. To name a few: Rockers, Vegans, Atheists, Gamers, bodybuilders and so on... Most of this cultures didn't exist in the past - or even worst in some places you'd get killed if you'd identify with atheists. As for gaming, more exactly - online gaming... this culture was actually expanded to this point and "normalized" - by people who are now in their 30s. There was no such thing as online gaming in the 80's and prior to that. Also, the technological evolution of PC hardware - would have never advanced so far - if there wasn't such a large group of people who liked computers games - and thus, they invested in better and better hardware to play their favorite titles.
That beings said - depends who you're asking. There's lots of people who don't like computer games - and obviously, those will say it's not normal. As for younger generations - well, almost the same as older generations (especially if it's the community of a competitive game like LoL) - you're bound to encounter quite a lot players who happen to be disrespectful and toxic. Younger generation trying to insult the older players by calling them "grandpa" - while older generations insulting the younger ones by calling them "kids". Shit like this comes with the territory - so don't don't fret about it. 🙂
Whats with the telling people your age? Lol just seems odd that its happened to you a lot. Anyways, everyone i play with is at least 30. Idk whats normal, but yeah Im sure a lot of 30+ people play league.
