Hey there. I’m a 40-something year old grumpy bastard who has been gaming most of his life. I don’t play league, because quite frankly I am fucking terrible at it, so I’ll concede and let the younger generation enjoy it without me holding them back..
However, I do watch a few tournaments now and then, and like some youtube content as well as some of the posts here I find when extremely bored and browsing /r/all[1] . So I am familiar with the player/fan-base and all the supposed toxicity that goes along with it…
Which leads me to my point. A few months ago, we got a new single-mom neighbor next to us. At first I thought she only had a daughter, but once the weather warmed up I realized she also has a son, and I’m pretty sure he’s a league player. Now that it’s warmer, we like to open the windows and get some fresh air in the house. However, we realized we get an added bonus of raging profanity being yelled from their second story window all night. I havent heard any defining comments, but given the length of his frustration, constant exclamations of “FUCK!!”, it seems probable that his age/look/gameplay matches the profile of those toxic players you guys always go on about here. He must have some pretty terrible teammates or something.
So, who here has moved into a small brown house in a northern suburb of Rochester, NY? Think maybe you could keep the raging down after midnight or so? Thanks.
