I’ve been a viewer for 8 years now which feels crazy long putting it in writing. You’re my favorite internet guy and even when I take extended breaks from the channel every time I get back here it feels like home. Thank you Ross for being a consistent and welcoming place on RUclips. I also hope to see more videos on RossIrl if you’re still drafting up videos for it. I started watching initially because I was super into league but I stuck around for you and your sense of humor
Also agree heavily on this. Also I work in IT and sometimes to test computers we play a video from RUclips and my coworkers play crab dance or whatever the hell but I always put on Ross.
I stumbled across your channel a few years ago. Arcane had just came out, and my best friend and I binged it together. We loved it, and decided to try League again. A friend had tried to get us into it a couple years prior, but they were really sweaty and did not help us and we just got stomped and flamed and it was not fun. We were obviously really bad starting out, so I looked up some videos. I didn't vibe with a lot of the League content out there because of how sweaty, serious, and toxic it could be, but then I came across your channel. I really loved the idea of the FF movement, and got a lot better at the game just by osmosis, learning about silly builds and items and such. Shortly thereafter, my best friend had to move across the country. I was heartbroken, but because you helped teach us how to have fun playing League, we kept playing together and kept in close touch. Now, they're still my best friend, and we still play League together. I will be forever grateful. We peaked at Iron II, btw.
Never think you're just someone in the background Ross. We all love you and I speak for many when I say that you make my days better on a daily basis :)
I honestly think it's funny that you say that people been growing up with you, cause I am one of those folks. And honestly, saying everyone is finding someone special, I actually have a date this weekend with someone special and I am quite anxious, but you kinda calmed me down. I appreciate them, so I should just vibe and go with the flow like you always do. Anyways, this is like the third time ever I am writing a comment, so sorry xD
I haven't been a viewer for nearly as long as others have, as I only started playing League during the pandemic and end up finding my way to watching your content (think the first ever video I watched of yours was Amumu microwaving Baron or something), but man did your rant about people growing up and becoming people really hit hard. Your content quickly became a source of comfort of mine, and your daily uploads had me looking forward to watch something every morning before classes. Always loved your rants and little brainworms that found themselves in my own speech and sense of humor. Ended up dropping League of Legends after highschool when moving onto college and stopped watching your videos, but recently with Arcane coming back I've come to check your channel again after a solid year or two of not watching and man does it feel like coming back to your old hometown. Keep up the great content Ross, love ya.
When you started to talk about the fact that there are some people that have been watching you since high-school, I immediately laughed because I'm one of them. And yeah, I found someone that I love with my whole heart and made some pretty cool friends, but there has been a single constant - me refreshing my YT feed for that single hit of dopamine that is your video, and to be honest I think that you've been a good influence on many people. Your funny hingeless comments, your banter with your teammates, and opponents have never failed to get a smile out of me. The fact that you've opened up about going to therapy and it being a positive impact on you made me ?brave? enough to actually start working on myself, and I thank you for that. TLDR - You content gud and funny. Wish you the best.
Dude, I did literally grow up watching you in highschool! I remember I ordered a merch sweatshirt and I loved it. I stopped watching because I stopped watching RUclips in general, I didn’t need the voice in the room as much because I actually made some IRL friends lol. I just recently started watching again and I was thinking “I’m so glad he’s still making content” 👍
I got to say this: You helped me get through my first years of uni living away from home and then the pandemic and the half online half in class classes that i really hated for making me be at my university's city for a couple of classes scattered through the week. A new rossboomsocks video to watch every night was a nice constant through all those big changes and I really appreciate it. I might not be as dedicated of a viewer anymore, especially because I've grown a bit tired of league but thank you. Also, big fan of the RossIRL vids and the variety content. Hoping for more!
I had no idea that Ross wasn’t just straight but i feel sort of honered that i’m part of a community where he is comfortable sharing that information❤️
I’ve been a viewer for many years, and I drop off and come back now and then. But it’s always easy, it’s comfy, funny, and knowing you have good moral standings from what you’ve revealed over the years makes it so much easier to enjoy the space you’ve created. I was in hospital for two years and watched you through so much of it. So thank you. I love my mostly Scottish unhinged morally cool RUclipsr
Ross working for a positive gaming audience and focusing on playing for fun is why I'm still falling asleep to the vids every night so many years later x3
Hey Ross, been a viewer on youtube for a long time I wanna say maybe 7 years. In the time I've watched I've gone through the tail end of highschool and through most of my college. A lot of working on finding myself and what is healthy for me, been in therapy at times and trying learn to take care of myself as well. Like you say a lot of us have been growing with you and I'm glad to see you share that. You seem like a very open person regardless, but it is nice to see you open up even a bit more than usual. I'm glad to be a part of this super welcoming and positive/constructive community that you've attracted over the years. Love your humour and the positivity you bring, keep up the good work man! If you see this comment I wish you all the best!
Hey Ross, I just wanted to say that this was a great video. It gave me a moment to reflect on the many years I have spent watching you and being along for this journey. I do not comment all that often, but I have been watching your videos regularly since 2019. One thing I really appreciated about this video is how humble and self aware you are. I really appreciate that you (at least seem) like you know who you are and what your place is here on earth. Obviously, those things are a constant puzzle and the work is never complete, but you have a really good handle on things it seems. I strive for that level of self awareness. And I know you are humble, but what you do here really does matter. I have had my fair shares of highs and lows and I have always felt peace watching you and listening to you. I know you have touched the lives on many others. Anyway, thanks for being here. Earth is just a little better with people like you in it. Cheers man!
Also Ross, I started watching you 2 years ago roughly. I started watching because you didn't take yourself to seriously and it was good to watch a fellow 1993 player trying to have fun in a game. Love your stuff and keep it up as it gives me hope that games will still be fun at our age ❤
I grew up watching you through highschool and college! And i continuously come back to the channel and it always feels like a safe space ! thank you for doing what you do !! Sending u all the good vibes bro
21:44 I mean absolutely, I’m about to start my first job after moving across the country and have been watching since probably season 7 or 8. Don’t watch as much as I used to but I have stuff going on now and your videos are still comfy to come back to at the end of the day.
I've been watching for close to 6 years now and I gotta say Ross you've been a safe space for me for a very long time now, you have been a source of stability for quite many of us, thank you
Brother I HAVE grown up, married, bought a house, etc. I have people in my life that fill the social gaps, im not lonely by any means. My work requires me to be in a similar position to you, leading the conversation, being "on" if you will. Its nice to have a place like yours on the internet where i can come and just exist without having to contribute anything. Its really nice. I appreciate you and what you do. Keep being you, no matter where you are in life brother!
I don’t get to come into the streams on a regular basis because of time zone differences, but what you were saying around 21:54 , with people not staying around because they don’t need that support as much, makes complete sense. When I was extremely depressed during high school and then shortly after, I watched a bunch of your videos. Now, things are immensely better, hell I even got married, and I’m having some gender affirming surgery stuff and I’m back to watching your content during my healing process. Thanks for ranting and raving and externalizing
Ok I made this comment before continuing the video, and lmao at the next words being “people say they watched me in high school, or that they’re married now,” it’s so funny that we all had this experience. I love that for all of us ❤
I don't know much about Poker but I've been wanting to get into for awhile now. I sometimes watch videos, and I know all those names you mentioned, but don't totally get all the terminology yet. I understand that it IS a game with a certain level of skill expression, which is why I think I'd be great at it, since I'm a pretty good competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! player. Speaking of... You should DEF do more Master Duel videos with Crooked Cook! Your commentary in the Exodia videos make my day whenever I watch them, and I think you'd be a menace with a Final Countdown deck xD
Now I want a video of One mach of kitten only udyr, One of birdie only udyr, One of piggie...idk the Animals, but u got the idea gahghaga you rule Ross ❤
Not pantheon or trynd but the idea applies its nice to see Edit because I watched the video, Ross ive been watching you since early bronze spectates iirc and to this day you are my comfort watch and sometimes the highlight of my day. I wasnt able to watch around your slay the spire arc and now i hold those videos as emergency watches if you ever stop uploading
Ross is one of the biggest green flag people, which is a great breath of fresh air from the League expectations Also edit: I’ve been watching since you were playing Wukong with bananas 7 years ago. I have met my wife, graduated high school and college, and been married since I started watching you. I love watching your videos, you’re the only RUclipsr I keep coming back to.
ROSS Q^Q almost making me cry here. Love your content and you. Your videos have always been a place of comfort and some laughs. Wishing forever the best for you and your crew and all the success in your endeavors
Tank top Vayne to ruin another top laner's life Bork + Rageblade Jak'sho and other tank items Runes/ mastery is up to you (but preferred fleet footwork for you to still kite with added move speed)
Ross sitting here questioning his sexuality because he's kissed more men than women and I'm like " dude, so has practically every man from the middle east, relax."
Ive been watching you for years, no fucking idea how many, I think it was around the time Senna came out? I don't really like much the kind of players this game seems to attract(I jokingly say that Im the only one that plays this game for fun) , so I don't watch Anyone else play this game Except you You are just such a cool fucking guy man, and your rants and stories are so unhinged and entertaining and just Youre Really cool and sweet and you make a lot of people's days a little brighter because you have such Good Vibes The Sockatres School for Streamers sounds like such a cool idea because I just Know those kids would learn from you how to be a Positive influence in their communities instead of the meaningless drama that seems to plague the medium I Don't know if I'll ever grow Past that tbh, I've been in some deep holes in my life but now Im not My life is far from perfect but I like it, and because of that I think I can enjoy your content even more Its not that I dont have someone in my life to occupy the time, in fact, this just convinced me to show my boyfriend your videos, I think hell like them And yes, we are both Queer and Autistic
As a straight guy, I honestly dgaf if you're gay, straight, bi or whatever. as long as it's not your whole personality. I just watch you because you are entertaining
Man Ross is getting more and more unhinged both on the commentary and the game and I'm loving it
I’ve been a viewer for 8 years now which feels crazy long putting it in writing. You’re my favorite internet guy and even when I take extended breaks from the channel every time I get back here it feels like home. Thank you Ross for being a consistent and welcoming place on RUclips. I also hope to see more videos on RossIrl if you’re still drafting up videos for it. I started watching initially because I was super into league but I stuck around for you and your sense of humor
Also agree heavily on this.
Also I work in IT and sometimes to test computers we play a video from RUclips and my coworkers play crab dance or whatever the hell but I always put on Ross.
Agree ❤
I stumbled across your channel a few years ago. Arcane had just came out, and my best friend and I binged it together. We loved it, and decided to try League again. A friend had tried to get us into it a couple years prior, but they were really sweaty and did not help us and we just got stomped and flamed and it was not fun. We were obviously really bad starting out, so I looked up some videos. I didn't vibe with a lot of the League content out there because of how sweaty, serious, and toxic it could be, but then I came across your channel. I really loved the idea of the FF movement, and got a lot better at the game just by osmosis, learning about silly builds and items and such.
Shortly thereafter, my best friend had to move across the country. I was heartbroken, but because you helped teach us how to have fun playing League, we kept playing together and kept in close touch. Now, they're still my best friend, and we still play League together. I will be forever grateful.
We peaked at Iron II, btw.
Never think you're just someone in the background Ross. We all love you and I speak for many when I say that you make my days better on a daily basis :)
I honestly think it's funny that you say that people been growing up with you, cause I am one of those folks.
And honestly, saying everyone is finding someone special, I actually have a date this weekend with someone special and I am quite anxious, but you kinda calmed me down.
I appreciate them, so I should just vibe and go with the flow like you always do.
Anyways, this is like the third time ever I am writing a comment, so sorry xD
Congrats and... uh... well you've definitely already gone on the date. Good luck with whatever comes next!
I haven't been a viewer for nearly as long as others have, as I only started playing League during the pandemic and end up finding my way to watching your content (think the first ever video I watched of yours was Amumu microwaving Baron or something), but man did your rant about people growing up and becoming people really hit hard.

Keep up the great content Ross, love ya.
Ross being a god damn homie, once again

Wholesome ass chat man
I got to say this:
You helped me get through my first years of uni living away from home and then the pandemic and the half online half in class classes that i really hated for making me be at my university's city for a couple of classes scattered through the week.

Yeah his twitch commentary inbetween games is a treat as well.
The redemption: A Rossboomsocks playing Udyr story
I had no idea that Ross wasn’t just straight but i feel sort of honered that i’m part of a community where he is comfortable sharing that information❤️
Exactly my thoughts, well written
Hey Ross, this video was really nice. You might consider trying out more of this type of unfiltered talking at the screen stuff, it was very relaxing
I’ve been a viewer for many years, and I drop off and come back now and then. But it’s always easy, it’s comfy, funny, and knowing you have good moral standings from what you’ve revealed over the years makes it so much easier to enjoy the space you’ve created.
I was in hospital for two years and watched you through so much of it. So thank you.
I love my mostly Scottish unhinged morally cool RUclipsr
Ross working for a positive gaming audience and focusing on playing for fun is why I'm still falling asleep to the vids every night so many years later x3
it was nice to hear someone like me also goin, yeah fuck it, whatever works, who needs to think that hard XD
You are a beautiful person and the monologue in this video really shows it about you. Thanks Ross :)
Hey Ross, been a viewer on youtube for a long time I wanna say maybe 7 years. In the time I've watched I've gone through the tail end of highschool and through most of my college.

Ross being a cozy but chaotic lil corner for us to stop by when we need is nice.
21:44 I mean absolutely, I’m about to start my first job after moving across the country and have been watching since probably season 7 or 8. Don’t watch as much as I used to but I have stuff going on now and your videos are still comfy to come back to at the end of the day.
I've been watching for close to 6 years now and I gotta say Ross you've been a safe space for me for a very long time now, you have been a source of stability for quite many of us, thank you
coming back to your videos is like meeting up with an old friend and realizing that its sill as fun and sometimes even more fun
23:00 what a magnificent conclusion ross
After being human udyr decided to become a god (pantheon disapproves)
Daily posts popping off keep it up
Brother I HAVE grown up, married, bought a house, etc. I have people in my life that fill the social gaps, im not lonely by any means. My work requires me to be in a similar position to you, leading the conversation, being "on" if you will. Its nice to have a place like yours on the internet where i can come and just exist without having to contribute anything. Its really nice. I appreciate you and what you do. Keep being you, no matter where you are in life brother!
14:58 Ross just casually being the greatest ADHD coach
2:30 questioning is super valid
I love the wholesome Ross arc
Ross is straight up jorking it to League of Legends.
I don’t get to come into the streams on a regular basis because of time zone differences, but what you were saying around 21:54 , with people not staying around because they don’t need that support as much, makes complete sense.

Hell yeah, brother. Be true to yourself. We will be here for you man.
Seeing the contrast between this and Human Udyr is INSANE
I don't know much about Poker but I've been wanting to get into for awhile now. I sometimes watch videos, and I know all those names you mentioned, but don't totally get all the terminology yet. I understand that it IS a game with a certain level of skill expression, which is why I think I'd be great at it, since I'm a pretty good competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! player.
Speaking of... You should DEF do more Master Duel videos with Crooked Cook! Your commentary in the Exodia videos make my day whenever I watch them, and I think you'd be a menace with a Final Countdown deck xD
Ross being like "Idk what I am man." (regarding his sexuality) is like a really refreshing take from a dude brand dude.
Oh man, the old video where you got that one-shot on that poor Tristana was so funny 😂
always nice to see you enjoying the game :)
Now I want a video of One mach of kitten only udyr, One of birdie only udyr, One of piggie...idk the Animals, but u got the idea gahghaga you rule Ross ❤
Become ungovernable. Be the reason your bully's parents get divorced.
Not pantheon or trynd but the idea applies its nice to see
Edit because I watched the video, Ross ive been watching you since early bronze spectates iirc and to this day you are my comfort watch and sometimes the highlight of my day. I wasnt able to watch around your slay the spire arc and now i hold those videos as emergency watches if you ever stop uploading
I have actually grown up a lot watching you 🥲
Theres only one thing that unites league players its hate, doesnt mather what you are they will hate you for dying once to a gank
Ross is one of the biggest green flag people, which is a great breath of fresh air from the League expectations
Also edit: I’ve been watching since you were playing Wukong with bananas 7 years ago. I have met my wife, graduated high school and college, and been married since I started watching you. I love watching your videos, you’re the only RUclipsr I keep coming back to.
ROSS Q^Q almost making me cry here. Love your content and you. Your videos have always been a place of comfort and some laughs. Wishing forever the best for you and your crew and all the success in your endeavors
You are Ross. And that is perfectly fine.
