Salty players don't always stay so (self-testimony)
Remember that one guy who kept not working with the team? The person who would never change their build based on who they were with, only what they knew worked? The person who would argue over a character's best build just because of personal preference (i.e. ezreal ap vs ad)?
I was one of those 'guys.' And in a way, this thread is my way of saying sorry, and hopefully cheering people up who deal with people who were like me or worse. some of us do get better. I used to argue a lot about ideal character builds, going against the norm just due to personal preference. I'm sorry. In my case, I had someone who I played with that pretty nearly controlled how I played and thought. That was dumb of me. I don't play often, and originally joined just after madred's bloodrazor stopped being stackable, which was after shen had released. I'm not sure how often I will play, but I've made sure I'm more open to feedback and become more relaxed as a player and a person since getting out from that person's thumb.
So yeah, sorry i used to be a prick, transitioning is helping some too (probably unrelated tho), and hopefully you'll find me being a lot more cheerful, even if my play ability is only competent.
