We Are Legends

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this post.


I have finally reached level 30 in my favorite online game.


The game where I met a lot of my friends.

Speaking of friends, it was one of those friends who actually got me to play the game. His name was Chris. 

I met Chris on an online roleplaying site called "The Keep." We wrote a lot together, and talked about things that were going on in our lives. After about three days of just chatting, I added Chris to my Skype where we talked even more. Things escalated from there and we became really good friends.

Unfortunately due to some events that I'm uninfluenced to share, our friendship fell apart, so we no longer talk to each other. I miss him very much, but I fear that I will never speak to him again. Of course, this makes me very sad.

Even so, I still play the game he introduced me to. I love the game!
It has helped me make so many new friends, and even my boyfriend plays. He reached level 30 long before me though.

I find that playing this game actually helps me concentrate better on most other things in my life, as in the game itself you have to be aware of your surroundings to make sure you don't get ganked.

My preferred role is known as the "Jungler." Where instead of going head to head against other players in the top, mid or bottom lanes, I run through the jungle where there are various monsters and minions for me to fight. In between fighting those monsters and minions I head towards the lanes to gank and help my teammates get or secure kills. It's my job to make sure that my team is safe in their lane, and to counter the other team by gaining control of the jungle on their side of the map.

 I have not perfected the role, but it helps a lot to watch professional players. 

The professional player that I actually watch the most is Meteos from Cloud9.


His real name is Will Hartman. He's (currently) a 19 year-old professional League of Legends player for the team Cloud9. Will takes the role of "Jungler" to a whole new level that regular players call "Jungle Carry." 

In the society of the game Will is known as "Meteos the Unkillable." His skills are superior to most other Juglers. Not often does he make mistakes in game play, but when he does he knows what to do to avoid making the same mistake twice. His motto is "Learn from your mistakes, don't blame your team and have fun."

Will "Meteos" Hartman is by far my favorite League of Legends player not just because he's an outstanding player, but because he isn't like most other professionals, who think they are the best, and all other players are trash.

His teammates Sneaky, Balls, LemonNation and Hai bring out the best in the rift I think. Together they make Cloud9.



For this years League of Legends Championship Series, I hope that Cloud9 takes the win. Even if they don't, they will always be my favorite team.

They're great friends, and great guys.
