If your elo is that high... how you end up here?

My question to the streamer fans. Got into a small dispute my last game, i asked for bot lane to leash me red ( i like to lv 2 gank so a quick red makes it a great tool to burn the summoners from the mid laner ) anywho! their response was "high elo kayn players start raptors" after insisting i start raptors instead and didn't help. I still went red, burn mids summoners and our mid laner did an excellent job of taking advantage.

TL;DR how you high knowledgeable high elo players end up in low elo if your league knowledge and skill is more advanced? [sg-lux-2] Kinda hard for a low elo player like myself to learn anything if your methods aren't applicable and hold no situational context. Bot fed like a mofo that match.

You'll run into players like that and it is frustrating to us jungle who have a set strategy for optimizing personal success.

Top laners who won't leash your optimal buff if it happens to be on their side.

ADC's who won't leash because they are too insecure about last hitting low health minions.

Players who insist you start wolves or raptors for an early level 4 and refuse to leash altogether.

Players who insist on invading when you don't want to invade.

Players who flee at the first sign of invasion, forcing you to give up your buff or die and lose the buff anyway.

Players will usually leash you the buff you want first, but there are moments when they just ignore your wants and needs altogether and usually at great cost later on.

i hate the invading part. It's really forced. I'm also usually a careful aggressive player that seeks opportunities but most players are just aggressive that try to create one and that leaves a strong window of things that can go wrong and they do. Such as lv 1 poorly planned group diving.

They don't end up in low elo, unless I suppose they are a smurf but they don't stay in low elo unless they troll in that context anyway. The bot lane probably saw streams and videos about high elo kaynes who start raptor (which I think is the current optimal path for him but you are free to go to your own jungle path on him) and tried to force you to do it. The raptor start kayne is more farm heavy route for early gank top and it can also help to get red later so you will have it when you 3 abilities up. He also does it quickly so he gets ahead of levels faster. Tbh I don't really do raptor first most of the time when I jungle and people like to force you to go specific routes sometimes.
