The editor is a glutton for punishment, so plays MOBAs. Specifically League of Legends. He recently shared some of his experience on Reddit, and since it was well received, he had preserved it here.
Game 1.
Went to top today, met a loud obnoxious clearly insane Yordle on a Lizard. He was hard. But I just kept on pushing. He eventually left, I kept pushing.
Our Lulu pinged “help” and saying “Yorick group!” But I told her “I’ll split push” and kept pushing.
Took inhibitor while team lost dragon fight.
Went and pushed bottom. Lulu keeps pinging and saying “group, pls”. Replied “keep pressure mid, don’t fight 4 v 5, I split bot.”
Lulu and Caitlyn came bot, 2 v 4 broke out mid, our team died. Lulu and Cait caught in jungle. I got killed. That’s okay, just keep pushing.
Respawned, pushed bot, took inhibitor while was “?” pinged for not helping with baron.
Got killed 3 v 1. Team ignored dragon and farmed our jungle.
We lost.
Game 2.
Went to top today. Met a man who had a really big sword and a fetish for Demacia. He was really annoying, and killed me three times, but he eventually got bored and went else where. I kept pushing.
I took tier 2 turret, died to a 3 v 1. Was told by our Kayn jungle, “Don’t over extend.” They did not take dragon, though I typed they should right before I was ganked. That’s okay, just keep pushing.
Was asked to group, by our Caitlyn, told them, “I push, you pressure other lane or take objectives. Don’t fight 4 v 5.”
Blitzcranke roamed to push with me, though I pinged back, we ended up in a 3 v 2 and lost. Caitlyn asked why we are over extended. She then points out I am 2/5/2.
I took two towers in bot, was ganked 3 v 1 and died to the lover of all things Demacia. Meanwhile my team got a kill and a middle turret. Good, they understand I push.
I took bot inhibitor and the top inhibitor, our Caitlyn said, “lol, lose lane, win game, right Yorick?”
I smile and just keep pushing.
Enemy team took our middle inhibitor. That’s okay, I just took their two inhibitor turrets and got away.
We won. Caitlyn said, “I hate my team, except Yorick.” Demacia-phile told me “F*** Yorick.”
Game 3
Went to top today. Met a man with a big Axe with an obsession with Noxus. We gave rather even, though I think it was due to a new technique he had to ignore my armor for some of his damage. Will have to watch that. I took first tower. The Noxus-Obsessive and a guy with a lamp post got me as I was bashing down their 2nd tower. It only had 2 more hits. So frustrating. Noxus lover grew bored and left lane. I kept pushing.
I told team, “I split push, not team fight. Never fight 4 v 5. Keep pressure, or let them fight me and then take the 4 v 3 or take an objective.”
I took top tower while team dove a 3 v 3 bot. Not sure why, but at least I got tower. Team flames Orianna. She is having a bad game. She responds twice in rather controlled. Team says we should all report her. Why? She has bad game, being bad happens, bad games happen. I ignore flame, set my jaw grimly at petty dramas and keep pushing
My team grouped middle and asked for help. I pinged I was going for bot tower. I took it, and the second while they fought for tier 1 and lost it. Was then ganked by the Lightpost man, Noxus-phile and a lady who somersaults. Somersault lady was an easy kill. I died but got 3rd tower.
TPed back in and took inhibt. Died again. ? mark pings. Not sure why, I got inhib.
Whatever, I smile and just keep pushing.
Miss Fortune, “Let’s group, I’m strong!” Reluctantly, I grouped. She was strong, but so is other team. We go 3 for 3. No towers taken. I shrug my shoulders. I tried to group, I will go back to side and keep pushing.
I go back to push top. Teams have a huge fight at our Tier 2 middle, my team is wiped 4 for 1. Enemy team pushes.
Fools, I am at their inhibitor turret, and they have super minions on their Nexus tower.
I smile and just keep pushing.
It’s a base race, but they are still on inhib as I blow through their second inhib. Go to Nexus towers, one is at 100 hp. Then take second. Recalls starting on enemy team. Why? They’ve already lost.
I push down the Nexus. 4 Honors. My team understands I push.
After game, I honor Orianna for keeping cool. Pretty sure team reported her. Poor Orianna.
Game 4
Today I went top. I met a pirate. His gun and barrels are annoying. Where does he keep such large barrels, in his coat? He killed me once when I was warding. That was bad, I did bad in trying to fight then trying to run. Should have run as I was not in a good place to fight. However, death does not stop me, so I just keep pushing and killed him and his tower.
Yi and I then got the Rift Herald, but Yi took it. Why? He won’t keep pushing.
I went bot and kept pushing. Our Yi told me to back off, but I just keep pushing. I took a tier 2 tower and died 3 v 1. Our team took a middle 1st tower and dragon.
Looks like me for 2 towers and dragon, I smile and keep pushing.
I went top again and Yi came with Rift Herald. We took tier 2 and Azir joined us. We took Inhibitor turret. I run into somersault girl and kill her. I die to the pirate and the depraved creature that is Thresh while Rift Herald, Yi and Azir finish inhibitor. Also, Miss Fortune and Braum take middle towers and inhibitor.
Team takes Nexus. Everyone honors Yi. Yi got lots of kills. Good job Yi.
