You can also self-defend your friend from the threat of the Gromp while playing cat character, it wasn’t because of revenge or will to get the gold or make friend mad it was to ensure their safety therefore it was rightous and self-defensive thing to do

The friendship test is actually really important for self-defense. Because the enemy you face today could be the friend you fight alongside tomorrow, and if they're an unreliable friend, you could be not self-defending when you absolutely need to self-defend just because that friend said it was ok.

10:47 that really is an american thing, a cop killing a black man
Good thing he didn't kneel in his head.

I just got a self-defense ad... I'm learning both league self-defense and real-life self-defense in 1 video.
The key to self-defense is banning caitlyn every single game. She can't hurt me or harass me like a cop does a black man if I just perma her.
Safe-space is also a sort of "self-defence".. so your method is not wrong.
I think darkkmane is a time traveler
