Bronze IS "Hell"
Hi, I'm "Eva Unit Mk 06" and as of right now, I'm Bronze 3 at 20 LP (I think). This is more or less a venting of my frustrations with League of Legends. I am a realist as well. Keep this in mind.
I have played over 500 games in Ranked on this account alone and I realized something; This account cannot rise out of Bronze.This season for my promotional games, I went 9/1. That's a 9 win streak with one loss. I end up Bronze 5. 350 games ALONE were played in Bronze 5 from all the immediate trolls, beginners, AFKs, Leavers and the general toxic players. 100 games were on Bronze 4 and the remainder has caught us up to date. From all the poor decisions and lack of impact by the Junglers I come across, I eventually took up Jungle as a means of having direct impact on the games I play and I communicate as much as I can with my teammates but even with all of that, it's still damn near impossible to climb. I just main Jungle at this point and my champion of choice is Shaco. I try to be everywhere at once but it's just not possible.
No matter what I do, there's always that one vindictive ass hat that has to start a fight when one little thing goes wrong or when someone doesn't pull their weight. I can't even offer advice because apparently, calling people out in their mistakes and giving them build path ideas is harassment and verbal abuse. I accept blame for my shenanigans but not when it's its another person's damn fault. I get blamed even if I gank and there is no kill secured. Hell, I got flamed at four securing Dragon than going from a kill.
Here's a sample of what I deal with:
"Shaco, why don't you gank my lane?"
I tell them that it's not worth while for me to gank a lane when my ally is OOM or below a third of their health or they have pushed up to the enemy's turret. I get called a bad Jungle for not helping even though I am counter jungling and zoning the enemy Jungle from their food. I gank when it is convenient and safe to so that there will be a gain of some kind. My ally didn't understand that and shoves the lane with no vision or mana. My ally dies and blames me for their death and accuses me off harassment when I pointed out that I warned them not to over extend.
This has gotten so our of hand that I, just don't respond with text anymore, I just pin use pings. Every time I send a message I get reported for harassment or verbal abuse without fail. This is my favourite account out of the five I have and I don't want to abandon it but it seems like I'm gonna have to drop it at this rate. No amount of games save me from the mental anguish that I have to endure while playing a game that was meant for fun but isn't actually fun with all the enragement children running around. It's a goddamn cesspool.
**TL;DR: Playing Ranked and being in Bronze Tier is a "Hell" but not an Elo Hell. It's a mental Hell that needs to be addressed **
Thanks for reading my words.
