An AD Carry's lament

I am a gamer and I play this particular MOBA(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) called League of Legends. I made the following poem from my experiences in the fields of justice on the rift(sometimes in the abyss). The game is played as a team and each person on the team volunteers for a specific role. This game is one beautiful example of what an individual can do and how each individual's strength put together make up a team. Teamwork is the most important aspect in this game. A team is like strings of a guitar. When you pluck a couple of strings in a particular pattern, it resonates to produce a chord. More of this produces music. But when you pluck the strings in wrong patterns, it just produces noise. Teammates perform well when they understand each other's strengths and weaknesses. This game requires a lot of strategy and communication between the players. As the summoners term it, Teamwork OP!

The following poem is too technical and only summoners and rioters can understand. Don't blame me if you find this stupid.

An AD carry's lament

Early game when playing as vayne
I get bullied and dominated in lane,
I need someone to share my pain
Help me with your heals, shields and stuns
Just to hear the words,"An enemy has been slain".

You buy wards and trinkets;
even if it costs the last of your gold,
You go around warding the river
face-checking bushes and drake,
Just to make sure I farm safely.

When their jungler ganks, you protect me
making sure I receive the least damage
you spam stuns,slows,snares to disable them,
you would even die for me
Just to see me stay alive.

In battle, you always stand in front of me,
wielding an impenetrable shield,
You may throw a lantern, make a whirlwind,bind them,
stun them with your bear or taunt a zed
Just to make me get fed.

Late game approaches and winning is no longer a dream
I am now able to carry you and the team,
You have done well to peel for me.
5K gold and I'm sitting Pretty,
Let's have one last push for a Victory!

(This Poem is dedicated to all support players in League of Legends(and dota2 too!) without whom the carry cannot exist.)
