I can’t consider that U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez simply massacred hundreds of thousands of League of Legends gamers yesterday. She was dunking on a crypto bro who was actually unhealthy at Riot’s MOBA recreation, however she additionally caught many harmless gamers within the crossfire. Really, that simply makes me respect her extra.
The cryptocurrency firm FTX had bragged that its CEO Sam Bankman-Fried would play League of Legends matches throughout investor pitch conferences. It seems that along with shedding $32 billion in market valuation on his firm, he additionally sucked at League. Bankman-Fried by no means ranked greater than Bronze II. Dang. Choose a battle, dude.
I do know that I’m not imagined to respect politicians. Governments ought to be afraid of their folks. However come on! Inform me that your gamer coronary heart wasn’t at the very least a bit moved when she tweeted “[Venture capitalists] have been impressed by Bronze III?” Gamer toxicity is okay when it’s being directed at cryptocurrency buyers. Bronze III is among the decrease rankings on the League ladder. Solely 14.75 % of gamers rank at Bronze III or decrease.
AOC even has the {qualifications} to inform the world that Bronze III ain’t shit. She final posted about her League rating on July 13, 2020. “My small quarantine accomplishment: made it to Silver III,” she tweeted. We don’t know what her present rank is, so it’s solely potential that she’s risen or fallen since then. However at some level in her League profession, she ranked greater than Bankman-Fried ever has.

Even when she isn’t higher-ranked now, I’m okay with that. I’d quite lawmakers spent extra time attempting to move payments than attempting to enhance their League rating. If FTX’s CEO had spent extra time on studying how finance labored, then he may nonetheless have an organization. As of final Friday, the corporate declared chapter and Bankman-Fried had resigned as CEO.
It appears that evidently AOC isn’t fairly totally keen to take satisfaction as a League participant. “I used to respect you, however enjoying League is simply too far,” one particular person tweeted at her, to which she responded: “Comprehensible.” No less than she’s not a Bronze III.
