Petition to ban all Bronze, Silver and Gold players from Gameplay & Balance.

The quality of discussion in this forum is low and that is because of the infestation of low elo players cluttering discussion. A low elo player has no right or reason to talk about balance because they don't understand the game.

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/wY7wJZ9h-need-5-people-and-3-ignites-to-kill-heimer

To put it simply If a person fails at the game they simply do not have anything meaningful the contribute to a discussion about said game.

This is a petition to ban all low elo players from this board so productive and insightful discussions can take place without their deleterious input.

Thanks, +1 to endorse the petition.

EDIT: There is a reason why Hashinshin, Irelia carries U, Dyrus and other LCS players post on reddit and avoid this board like the plague. The atmosphere here is hostile to anyone who actually knows what they are talking about .

Once we remove the low-elos quality posters will return-

[{quoted}](name=some butthurt gold 5 scrub who thinks he knows more about the game than people in diamond+,realm=NA) Your rank is no indication of how skilled you are at the game, nor does it give your opinion any more/less credibility

Diamond players complain that only challenger and LCS get a voice. Plat complains that only Diamond+ gets a voice. You want to make it so that Bronze- gold say Plat+ LITTERALLY only gets a voice?

That'll blow over well.

The issue here being that your elitist viewpoint assumes everyone in lower elos are morons. You are putting a generic label on people rather then viewing the individuals

Yeah im bronze Deal with it

You think it doesnt bother me to be associated or to be categorized alongside the idiots?

You cant fix stupid But be smart enough to not drop to their level

I can't tell if troll or serious...........in case you're serious I can be an asshole too and say that everyone below diamond 1 50 LP knows nothing about the game and is trash, so we should all just uninstall.

Hm. This is an interesting suggestion. However, I think I have a better one:

How about we petition to mute/ban this elitist snob for believing lower ELO players shouldn't have a voice and be made to suffer simply because 'they're not good enough' and therefore a subspecies to the 'superior' players?

In all seriousness, if one can give a good argument or case for a topic, providing numbers and solid evidence, then rank or not, it stands. If your only 'evidence' is "I'm high ranked so I must be right", then you're about as cancerous as Kalista and need to reevaluate your life.

Helloa NA,

I do believe it's a tad bit harsh to ban lower ranked players from a discussion.

What i suggest instead is for RIOT to open up a new Gameplay & Balance section on the forums called "Gameplay & Balance for High Elo Snobs"

so that we (myself included being a high elo snob) can freely enjoy constructive discussions without the interference of the low elo plebs spouting away nonsense like "RiVEN OP" "NERF EZREAL" etc etc

Let me know what you think :)

Edit: LOL I just realized you brought up the worst example ever where I was agreeing with the guy. Heimer's broken. Removing Bronze/Silver/Gold won't change people pointing out he's bullshit.

That's 95% of your population gone. I assume since you like that seeing that you are an ELITE, of course. I suggest that we ban all Gold or lower, as well as anyone who makes $100,000 or less.

Just another example of why the community is so bad. People with attitudes like this are the people who should be banned from the forums.

So basically you are grouping together all bronze, silver, and gold players into a single classification: "they are stupid". That's called discrimination. You claim "The quality of discussion in this forum is low and that is because of the infestation of low elo players cluttering discussion. A low elo player has no right or reason to talk about balance because they don't understand the game." Please show me evidence that substantiates this claim, otherwise, you "[have] no right or reason to talk about" this subject. Furthermore, you are basically advocating that kids should all be considered stupid because the majority aren't capable of holding an intelligent debate. Sure kids (like me) are generally not intelligent, but we see things differently than adults. For example, there is a simple sleight of hand trick where the performer pretends to pass an object from one hand to the other, but the object is always in the same hand. This commonly fools adults, but as James Randi explained: Kids are often not fooled because they don't have enough experience to automatically assume the object was passed to the other hand.

Some people simply don't have the time to climb the ladder, we all started at bronze/silver/gold and know how frustrating it is to climb with constant pullbacks/ bad days, don't forget, any solo que is not actually solo, its worse than a ranked team cuz ur playing with random people, and 4 other people impact your rank every time you play, but then people just say well the enemy team has 5, IDGAF, you rank is still not determined ONLY BY YOU as that is what SOLO means.

You are absolutely right! Since you are Plat 5, you now know everything about the game and you are never wrong!
