So League has been a part of my life since I was 16 and now that I’m 22 I’m still playing a lot (Nami/Shen main and I hit diamond last season yay!) The « As we fall » video came out in 2017 and when I watched it I never knew the impact it would have on my life.
So basically I was gay and in the closet at the time the video was released. I was always playing league with my 4 best friends who happen to all be straight guys. They are all very cool and chill but I thought I would never come out to them because I genuinly thought that they would just hate me if I did and that we would stop being friends because why would straight guys hang out with a gay guy (I was dumb).
But when I saw THAT video it changed everything, I was overwhelmed to see two gay lovers represented in the game that I played the most during my teenage years and that I loved the most (I ugly cried watching it). So then I said f*ck it and I finally mustered the courage to tell them (I chose to tell them first because they matter the most to me) and OMG that was the best decision of my life. They just said they didn’t care and that they loved me either way, it felt incredible. Since then, they’ve been my biggest support irl and we still play almost everyday of the week together.
So I basically came out to my best friends thanks to a videoclip about darkins xd
That was random but I just wanted to share a cool story related to league. if you have other story of the sort I’m curious to listen!
