I am genuinely sad Robbie is gone. I know that a lot of people were very anti-Robbie and turned off by his comments about MVP, but I know that he didn't do it to be a bitch or anything. As his friend, I think it is my duty to defend him a little bit. Truth is, Robbie is an extremely emotional person, and he is used to people liking him all the time. Not being liked is one of those things that eat up at him, just like all of us have something that when mentioned it kinda just gets us all upset. Robbie's thing is knowing people are not rooting for him, or like him. When you are used to everyone absolutely adoring you, and especially when so many people liked him at the beginning and then his popularity dropped... it kinda hit home for him.

Robbie is an outstanding player, yes, he did get too cocky and made some mistakes, but he dominated the pre-merge and by playing with him before, he is very very good at the whole manipulation thing. I think the combination of not being liked [his kryptonite] and the fact his whole game blew on his face made Robbie get a little unstable and resort to his defense mechanism which is complaining and getting super defensive about things. That's how he copes, as an emotional player myself I can fully understand why this is affecting him as much and he reacted the way he did.

I think whether we like Robbie or not, we should all be able to appreciate all that he brought to the game. In my mind, he proved that even though he is emotional he grew a lot as a person AND he knows how to play the game, which as far as I know is what he intended to do from the get-go.
