if they don't i downvote it and move along.

low elos should NOT be commenting on game balance, they haven't played at a level where everyone plays their champions effectively so they can't witness a champion's true potential.

Diamond+ players are just as capable of being complete morons (like you) as silver players.

Let's take what you're saying and apply it to some other circumstance, will we?

"Before I read someone's dissertation, I check to see if they have a PhD. If they don't, I immediately dismiss their research as being fundamentally wrong and move on. Less published authors should NOT be submitting their research to the scientific community, they haven't done research on a level where they have been actively acknowledged"

"Before I read anything a politician says, I check to see if they are the President. If they aren't I immediately dismiss their rhetoric as being fundamentally flawed and move on. Less successful politicians should NOT be going against what the President says, because they haven't done politics on a level where they became the President."

See how that sounds stupid and asinine? Everyone should have to cite their sources, and so long as everyone does that, everyone's opinion should be considered equally. To put it in an alternative context, it's like saying "<x minority> doesn't know what they're talking about, their opinions are bunk"

your post indicates that you have no understanding of game balance and design in general. Ranking is not a good indication of game understanding.

For example, a silver player that doesn't play much ranked but has done multiple theory tests for builds and has read and watched videos (along with theorizing on their effectiveness) on matchups would know more about what to build and how to play certain matchups than a gold player that mindlessly plays the game but has good mechanics.

Ranking is a factor of 3 major things

  1. Game experience, a player that has played league for a long time is able to estimate damage and character strength much better than newer players, and is able to adjust to power spikes accordingly.
  2. Game knowledge, a player that has looked at number, builds, winrates, and various other statistics about the game is able to make more informed decisions about builds, counterpicks, etc.
  3. Mechanics, a big factor of the actual play is how mechanically good a player is, and is what allows for solid plays and outplays.

Lower rank people typically lack #1 and #3, however they don't necessarily lack #2. A player can have not played league a single time and in theory understand the game better than a long time player. Another factor i didn't mention was home much time they have to actually play the game but that relates to #1.

tldr; rank is not an indicator of someones understanding of the game, and should be ignored, so as not to let good posts and information be ignored.

To be fair if you claim to have good game knowledge yet you're stuck in bronze/silver then you don't have good gameknowledge.

Just game knowledge alone can help you climb pretty high evidence being 10/0 laners who still lose the game because they have no idea what they're doing and they're probably irelia/riven mains

also anyone thats high elo and mains soraka deserves a 14 day ban

So basically you were lucky enough to scrape your way out of bronze's wood division, and probably found yourself in diamond's wood division. I kill time by watching lol fuckup videos and a disturbing majority come from diamond. Actually lemme go check said videos and see if your name pops up.

Even a Diamond can complain like a Bronzie. You can't deny it.

$1000 says you have nothing else to say besides checking out my profile and say "downvote, not wurf to comment". Just seems like you agree with me discreetly.
