Leeroy Jenkins’ secret has just been revealed to support net neutrality

You don’t have to know what The world of Warcraft is to appreciate Leeroy Jenkins’ viral video from over 10 years ago. But if you are Wow player, you’re probably familiar with the clip of the failed attack that went viral on YouTube in 2005.
