queued into one of my ex's in ranked yesterday
dated her 2 years ago
haven't spoken since
she's on enemy team
support
i'm ADC duoing with rins
different kind of tension when you're laning against someone who you've dated
loaded into game, saw her name, felt my heart rate spike
not from nerves. from competitiveness mixed with something else
this isn't just another ranked game anymore
this is personal
here's what happens when you queue into your ex:
every trade is psychological warfare
every kill feels like winning the breakup
every death feels like she's vindicated for leaving
i'm not playing league anymore.
i'm playing "prove i'm better off now" simulator
she all-ins us level 2
gets the kill on rins
types nothing
that silence is louder than any flame
i know what that means. "i'm better now"
so i adjust. play different. more aggressive than i used to with her.
freeze wave, off tempo aggression, get the kill
still type nothing
because silence is the power move
we're having an entire conversation through gameplay
no words. just violence and subtext
rins asks "you good?"
yeah i'm fine
she roams mid, comes back to lane
i know this pattern. we ran it 400 games together.
but i'm not the same player anymore
catch her face checking bush, get the kill
she types "?"
THERE IT IS
the first crack in the silence
that question mark contains 2 years of unspoken tension
we're 4/0 in lane at 15 minutes
rins: "we're gapping them"
yeah we are
and some part of me needs my ex to see that
needs her to know i'm winning with someone else now
that i moved on and UP
we win the game
she types in all chat: "ggwp"
i type: "ggwp"
that's it. that's the whole conversation
but we both know what we're really saying
"i'm doing better"
"you should be happy for me"
"but you're not"
"HAVE FUN WITH HER"
here's the thing about high elo dating:
the pool is small
you WILL queue into your ex
you WILL have to lane against them
and it WILL feel like therapy mixed with competition
some people can't handle it.
but if you're serious about climbing? you play it out.
use that tension. channel that history into performance.
she knows your patterns? change them.
she expects you to play safe? all-in.
turn the emotional warfare into LP
high elo dating teaches you: don't let personal shit affect your climb
your ex is just another player in queue
the history doesn't matter if you're the one taking their nexus
