Thank you league of legends community

Hey guys, I know basically none of you know me, but I just wanted to say thank you. Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Back in 2012, I was a working a dead end job, drinking heavily, secluding myself indoors and avoiding living because I was positive I wanted to die. My best friend of then 15 years was barely able to talk me down from running in front of a train once. What I'm saying is I poured myself into playing this game back then so hard to keep from having to deal with my chronic depression, and diagnosis with a long-term disability that I thought might be a game-ender for me. I met a lot of awesome people that didn't even know me, didn't even know if I wasn't maybe some jerk-off troll just trying to rile them up when I would get depressed while playing, and they didn't care. Those people just gave me encouragement in that one match and then I didn't see them again. I'm ashamed I never before came to these boards and told you guys just how much you saved my life. Without League of Legends and the people who played with me keeping me sane back then, I'm nearly 100% certain I would not be here today.

I can't keep it together to type anymore, thank you League of Legends community. My life has improved substantially just like you guys told me it would in so many games, so many years ago. I'm replacing the computer I started playing league on in a few days and it stirred up all these memories from then and a decade ago when I built it and I just had to tell you guys: No matter how many threads you see about "Shitty LoL community" or trolls or whatever, there are MORE of you FANTASTIC people that saved my life. I am grateful to each and every one of you.
