i miss being bronze. im not saying i miss the toxic idiots that iv met down in that elo, what i miss is the super laid back games (at least in normals) where no one was too serious and you could try nearly any strat. i miss not having to stick stupidly close to the meta without getting stomped for it. i miss being able to carry almost every game no matter how bad my team and being able to say "dont worry we got this" and not be lieing to myself because the other team got a lead on us.

when i first got gold last season it was the best feeling iv gotten in a long time and it only felt better knowing i got it SUPER CLOSE to the end of the season because i knew i improved as a player, but right now i feel like im improveing without actually getting anything for it.

maybe its because some of the champs i used to like playing got reworked or people are just getting too serious for me (i mean like some people will get mad at you in **aram **from trying to enjoy yourself) but im struggleing to have fun now.

Play to play, not to prove a point. If you have a lot of friends, play custom games. If you don't have a lot of friends, play Blind Pick / Draft Mode normals. If you are bad, play against AI. You don't need to miss anything. There are other modes than ranked.

nearly all my friends have stoped playing leauge because they dont like the way the game is shifting, the few that do still pla only get the win of the day then log off. not to mention normals are taken as seriously if not more so than ranked for some reason, maybe its my shit luck with matchmaking.

really? ok listen what im saying now is not "in diamond noone flames cause everyone is way better and mature than bronze" all im going to say it:

i enjoyed the time in diamond (3) way more because WAY LESS ppl flamed. and i always knew im better than silver (which is where i started and it took me about 8 months to get to dia) and it pissed me off when ppl just do the same fucking mistake like 100 times in a row. "oh yea im 0/7 my enemy is 7/0 and 3 lvs above me. i think 1v1ing him while 6 of his minions attacks me is a good idea. 8th time will be my great time to shine right?" NO IT WONT STOP IT!!! once again im not saying diamonds are gods or something and im not saying this never happens in dia. but it happens VERY RARELY!!! it just made me feel way better.

maybe thats just me, maybe im crazy wouldnt surprise me

im sure you know that in gold its hit or miss when it comes to teams, they either look like they belong in gold or they look like someone boosted them to gold. look my point isnt that in bronze is the best place i leauge my point is that when your bronze the game can be alot more fun (outside of ranked) because people seem to just be fine with chilling out in norms, at least in my case. right now for some reason a large portion of people are taking normals just as serious as ranked and only pick whats best right now.

What you miss is the feeling of being better than everyone in your game and thus the ability to control / carry the game while still being laid back. I understand, it can be a good feeling. Try smurfing if you really want to return to it. Otherwise you just have to deal with the meta and such becoming much more important at higher levels.
