Being Banned changed my attitude about league in a huge and positive way
Hey everyone, I would like to first off take a second to apologize to anyone that I may have hurt or negatively effected in this game in my previous account. I use to take league to the point of extreme competitiveness by always reaching for the next tier. This sometimes brought the worst out in me as I would get very frustrated when things went south or I seemed to feel handicapped in the game. I was the kind of player nobody wants on their team even though I was a decent player I personally had an attitude that made the game unbearable to play because it brought everyone's mindset down with mine. From things like "uninstall" and " drink bleach" I let this game take my emotions too far. One day i received the notification that i had gotten perma banned on that account. I was at first frustrated with the tribunal thinking how could i get reported, but it wasn't until I saw hand and hand the things I said and how messed up I really sounded. I took time off from league thinking ill never play that stupid game ever again. This game I had been playing since season one that just a little more than a month ago i got banned from. It wasn't until I sat there playing other games that I realized that no game has been a part of my life and given so much to me like league had. I could have just said " eh i was only gold its not like i can just go into the game and it be any different for me", but it was when I decided that I loved this game and its community and too much to throw it all away for good. So I created a new account and decided that if I was to enjoy this game and community and creative aspect as much as i do then i need to change my attitude towards the game and towards other players. I need to criticize myself before i even think about criticizing anyone else. It's going to be a long journey back to gold 2 but I think that if I truly take a moment to realize what makes me love this game and community every once and a while i dont doubt that i can reach my goals of becoming a better person and a better player. Thank you for everything you have done for me riot (minus AP Master YI) and thank you community for always being accepting of players. You use to know me as Bold Berry but now you can call me Average Berry, and I am here to make this community grow in a positive way.
Sincerely, Average Berry
