I've met one true 100% genuine article IRL. We were in a line at a convention, her in an Ahri costume (LoL was in its heyday), and I was dressed as Stitches from HotS, who of course has a very close proxy in LoL. I don't "do" LoL, but I'm a gamer, I know MOBAs, I can follow general conversational flow, but somehow she fell into a rant about shit players who can't adjust to new metas keeping her in MMR hell when she's playing a perfect ADC game, and I'm just sitting there smiling, letting her vent at "trash golds who were probably boosted to even reach there".
Like, if that isn't THE picture of the standard LoL player, I don't know what is. No quizzing, no real prompting even except the cosplays, just "yo, you play tank? Lemme tell you about how supports don't support my plays".
