I wish the best of luck to you. If only there wasn't issues with the gameplay, this might be true. | ||

Golden is very smart because he's young (19) and he'll be 21 when he finishes military and can jump right into college and move to lead a more normal life. | ||

That's true, but I think a lot of the fans went to games like LoL and Dota2 because they were more fun. If the game becomes more fun, I think the fans will naturally return. Kind of depressing, I know everyone likes to ignore it but even the pros think the game is boring. Can't imagine having to play something you don't find that fun for 10 hours a day. Can't say I blame him for retiring. Hoping LotV goes well. | ||

The reason it's boring is because they play it 10 hours a day. Doing anything 10 hours almost straight is straining in itself | ||
