Sydelle's Apology -- Whoa!

Sydelle·10/26/2017, 3:26:27 PM·3 votes·365 views

I love League of Legends. I appreciate the rewards when I demonstrated my love at Mt. Rushmore for whoever remembers that long ago instance.

I wanted to publicly state that over the course of my history with Riot, I know my behavior has sometimes been beneath the standards my best self demands of me.

In addition, I wasn't always myself when I was at the keyboard, and I'm sorry for anyone that has had to endure, unfairly, any of the abuse and sorrow that I have suffered from the liars, abusers, opportunists, and cheaters of my life on the rift. I am sorry that my grief has sometimes spilled over. I know that many are on this boat of forgetting, and the last thing I should ever do is allow my behavior to remind anyone of what we come to the rift to forget.

I know that all grief needs to stop with me, and I can not explain how grief has a tendency to accumulate on the gentlest of souls on the planet other than that evil exists and angels are served the stiffest cups. When I first born unto the rift, I believed in surrendering any time my team had 5 people and the enemy had 4. That's who I was. I had lofty ideals and a sense of honor. Somewhere inside me, that's still who I still am. I do not believe that I need to explain how delving into a swamp can turn you into a swamp thing, but if I started on this journey to give others hope and turned into a swamp thing, then I gave great potential to show that swamp things can be overcome by the beautiful soul that still lives within them.

Here's to one day having a champion that demonstrates a different evolution than Kayn's. Maybe to having a champion that starts off a truly innocent girl that turns into a swamp thing that turns into an angel.

With a cherry on top.

Reporting live from the murkiness of this current swamp nation, Sydelle!

I dont get those apology threads... who are you apologizing to? The player behavior boards lurkers consist mostly of people who want to see some salt, none of your previous teammates will read this and no rioter will bother with this.

What matters is that you took the time to type this up and apologize. We all get angry and make mistakes, it's normal!

Nice, heartfelt apology, I like it.

However, it's not impossible to go into a swamp come out unchanged:

Basically what I'm saying is, just because you see the other monkeys are doing bad things doesn't mean you have to join them.

Are you going to continue to keep playing and try to reform or is this you quitting? I say don't give up!

From beginning to end all I'm thinking is, does this guy think he's famous or something?
