I don't know why you complain about being in Bronze

In Bronze, as a Singed, I could Wander away from toplane, to Dragon. Solo it, and wander back to toplane stopping to gank Mid on the way back to toplane, and get back to top before my opponent took my tower.

In Gold, if I wander away from toplane to go try to solo Dragon, Not only will the Jungler show up and smite-steal it, he'll also kill me, and toplane will take 2 turrets while I'm gone.

In Bronze if I decide to solo dragon, no-body even knows I'm there. Even if I type stuff like "Hey guys, let's take Dragon" and ping the shit out of it. I can solo it comfortably without being bothered. I even got so ballsy as to type "Hey you mouthbreathers, I'm soloing Dragon, try and stop me" in /all. I still soloed dragon (as singed) and was back in toplane before their jungler lazily checked like 3 minutes later and replied "Holy shit, I thought you were joking"

In Gold, if I try that, it's like Liam Neeson in Taken. Someone will find me, and they will kill me. They'll also take the Dragon afterwards, and taunt me for being dumb.

In Bronze, if I only use my Trinket to ward every time it's on cooldown I'm a champion of the vision wars, and will have nearly double the Wards placed as my support.

In Gold, if I only use my Trinket to ward every time it's on cooldown I'm a "Noob" who ought to "uninstall" and the world would probably be "Better off if I played in traffic on the interstate".

In Bronze If I'm having a rough day last-hitting and I'm at 100 CS in lane at 20 minutes, I'm probably still on par with my ADC, and no-body cares.

In Gold, if I'm not at 100 cs in lane by 15 minutes our Jungler is spamming "This Toplane" in all chat and telling our team "Toplane is retarded, try as hard as you can and just... try not to choke to death on your own tongue... ok top lane?"

In Bronze if I build Hurricane on anyone other than Kalista, nobody will say anything and some of the other people may even try it if I manage to do well with it.

In Gold if I buy Hurricane on anyone other than Kalista I'll get 4 man reported, and 9 man taunted in /allchat.

In Bronze if I die once in lane, and can't make it up with a jungle countergank in the next few minutes, it's not a lost lane, and I won't have to spend the next 20 minutes farming under tower playing scared.

In Gold, if I die once in lane, and can't make it up with a jungle countergank in the next few minutes, it's a scary ass lane, and I spend the next 20 minutes farming under tower, playing scared, OR I give up the tower and give my enemies 1000 global gold and toplane can roam giving map-pressure, while I try to catch back up.

In Bronze if I accidentally Singed flip an Amumu into our team at 39 minutes under their mid inhib tower, and MUMU ults, we still can fight back and may not get aced.

In Gold if I accidentlally Singed flip an Amumu into our team at 39 minutes under their mid inhib tower and Mumu ults, we just got aced, and will probably lose the game in their push for our nexus. We'll PROBABLY lose before we re-spawn.

In Bronze if I pick Poppy top, and do well with her, I may convince some other player to try her out top.

In Gold if I pick Poppy top, I'll probably feed like a home-less shelter in inner city New York, and the only way I WON'T get reported is if I carry the game and solo baron, and have some ridiculous KDA like 25-2-13.

Gold is fun, and Challenging. I enjoy league, and I'm proud of my progress. But somedays I really, really miss Bronze.

Post your own thoughts if I've missed anything.

People just wanna look good.

Haven't you heard that Bronze is elo heaven? Unless you main (non-carry) supports, then that's legit hell.

I think you forgot casually strolling into the enemy jungle without vision to take their camps, with no reaction from the enemy whatsoever. I'm not gold, but I imagine if you tried the same stuff, you'd have 3 people ganking you and instantly lose lane because they bothered to ward their own jungle.

Gold is not that hard-line lol.

Platinum maybe.

Pretty accurate. I just played a few games on a friend's bronze 5 account and you can literally do anything and still win. First game I went darius support, d'ced accidentally for like 6 minutes, came back with like 500 ping, and still won. Next game I was last pick and went mundo instead of an ADC, and my team didn't say a single thing about it. My annie support and I won lane and then won the match pretty handily. It's so much more relaxed.

I think you just had really bad enemies in bronze. Lmao. Sometimes, I see " I'm a plat smurf " and feed the enemy to " joke about with them. " then provide zero to no outplays and just feed because everyone thinks they're good. :p

Damn I don't know what kind of enemies you've been having, rarely can I solo dragon early without somebody coming along and fucking me up and stealing it and if I walked away from top lane in the time it takes to go clear down to bot lane solo dragon, gank and then go clear back up I would expect my turret to be gone especially after the 5 minute mark. And I'm a bronze 4-5 player, depending if I've had a lose streak in the last couple days.

In bronze 3v5 is easy
