The sivir Q buff shows how disconnected the balance team is from the game.

Why don't you learn to respect people?

1- Respect is earned, not given out automatically.

2- Objectivity has nothing to do with your emotions.

3- Good job not addressing a single one of the arguments I've presented.

Victriam, gg'd all of you in one fell swoop.... hey Ariel-kun, I shall link this comment thread so you can explain to these.... particular indivuals, what the point is , if you would be so kind and generous as to do so.

sure. Your fallacious argument is objective fact. Pointing out your argument is subjective perception. Sure bub. Take a logic class and get back to us.

RIP in peace, english.

And it isn't just bad mechanics that keep people from climbing ranks - some people just aren't good in competitive environments. They get stressed, they tilt, they tunnel vision, etc.

It's easy to talk about the game intelligently while you aren't playing it - relaxing in your room while reading the patch notes, or whatever. It can be much harder to put all that into practice in an actual game.

However, I do believe that higher ranked players are able to learn more and gain game knowledge more quickly/easily than lower ranked players because they are more likely to play with and against players with better knowledge and understanding of the game. Many of them don't do that, though.

Okay, so I'm confused now. I read what you wrote originally, and just now when you copy-pasta'd it, and I don't understand how that's different from my summary.

This is very tiresome.... it is at this point I would check your..... particular situation, but Riot does not like it when statements of fact are made.

I'd like to understand what you actually mean, so I'll go through your original comment line-by-line and try to paraphrase and explain how I interpret it; then, you can correct me where I'm wrong.

What you think I said is irrelevant. What I said is what matters.

I think this is just as valid. If the balance claim is atrocious, why does it matter what their elo is? Similarly, I think this is valid. Who cares what their rank is -- if their claim is wrong, it's wrong.

The above quoted is exactly why you are presenting a strawman argument.

We're talking about TENDENCIES. Br... Oh oh, you almost had me there, I almost used the.... term that must not be uttered.... let us say "Certain people within a context situated in specificity" must be considered as having a high tendency towards making nonsensical claims.

This is because the statistics indicate it to be so. Data cannot be debated as it is an absolute.

Conversely, Diamond Pride does not have such a tendency. This is why they are Diamond, because they are able to understand the game.

I DO think that being in a HIGH bracket makes it more likely that someone knows what they're talking about

HOLY MOTHERLESS GOAT.

Perhaps the.... individual located in a relative criteria amongst his peers.... was able to .... determine the argument post creation.

It's called "tendencies". But more importantly, the fact that a ..... 'player' makes atrocious arguments as a matter of cause speaks to his ...... spatial and temporal locality, as Riot's determinate obfuscation of paralilism vs. perpendicularism , makes awful claims BECAUSE he is unable to understand basic game mechanics, otherwise he would be Diamond Pride or at least rise out of.... a quantum scenario wherein all possibilities are not violated excepting the terminus-est of the spectrum.

This is what Newspeak is all about. I have to admit this is more fun than stating facts.

Anyway your argument was very weak and easily dismantled.

And just like always, your response ignores everything besides the narrative you want to create. Eh, at this point i am not surprised.

If this is the usual quality of your statements, no wonder you need to resort to calling out ranks, it seems you cannot make a proper argument at all.

And FYI, this is the actual post you failed to respond to.

You have not directly made that argument, however i can make that conclussion over your statements about "censorship" and "threats". You are constructing a narrative of a big company censoring people like you because they want to protect feelings of others, which is simply put, bullcrap.

That being said, if someone is making terrible arguments consistently, their bracket is relevant.

Ok, so why do you point it out then? What is the purpose of pointing out someones rank? Could you answer that simple question which you have avoided time and time again? What is the PURPOSE of brining up anyones rank ever?

An ad hominem attack is not the same as an ad hominem argument, but pointing out someone's status within Riot's system is neither.

Not the same, correct, but both point out that the speaker is not only impolite but is lacking in arguments.

Your "Pointing out" is pointless. The only use it can ever have is to shame a person over his ranking. That is it.

Again, tell me, what is the PURPOSE of "pointing out" someones rank?

Exactly.

The prosecution rests, sir.

So, you ignore the rest of the statement? Which says why they are not the same and WHY someones rank does not tell about their game knowledge? If you try to nitpick like this because you can't argue against someone you can't pull rank against, at least try to be less obivious.

This is the rest of the statement you ignored which is contradiction to your "pointing out" rank bullcrap.

Bronze and Diamond are NOT the same, you are right, but that DOES NOT mean that they are different in EVERYTHING. Like it was said THOUSANDS of times to you before, game knowledge is only a small part for going up the rankings. As such a person in bronze can have just as much game knowledge as a diamond, just have troubles applying it in game doe to many other factors (Which you covenietly ignore).
