fix gold

Since high silver/low gold is basically the unranked default elo, reaching gold means having the worse scum being pushed in your teams while you worked hard to escape elo hell. In just 3 games, I had 3 inting bots. Like, wtf? I literally destroyed the game, I got at least one carry fed every time, yet, they always, always managed to lose. Those people cannot play at all and they will never get carried out of their swamp, they'll just drain higher players down until they demote to their actual elo. It's really easy to see who belongs there and who doesn't; contrary to the stupidities higher elo players spread ("it's all bronze dude"), the actualgold players I've been paired with are millions years away from low-mid silvers. There's just no doubt, they're aware of the calls you make, they follow adequately... And even when they have a bad start, they manage to be useful later. In comparison, it's easy to recognise when riot places a burden in my team, just because they don't want to bother fixing this problem. "hmmm what should we do with new players?" "just stuff them in gold teams, whatever" yeah, that's what gold is : a landfill.

update: FOUR, FOUR inting/trollpick bots in a row! And always, the same shitty freelose premades (when the other team isnt plagued with premades)

Yeah gold is screwed over rn. I'm currently trying to get into gold 2 and once I get there maybe the first time dravens will die down

There is no such thing as low, mid or high silver other than numbers. Pretty much same goes for gold. The only difference between the 2 is people in gold sometimes realize they should listen to calls. Other than that barely anything.

lmao this is the typical board lurker who thinks he's good because he got carried by inters it's your lucky day you're about to get educated 4-5 is low, ~3 is mid, 1-2 is high you can keep this post in a .txt for future reference, in case you don't get it the first time

Maybe you should read more carefully next time then.

There is no more 5th division
I said there is no difference in silver 1-4 and barely any between silver and gold entirely

Nowadays there are so many people in that cluster of silver/gold which is the main rank for anyone who begins ranked and isn't a smurf. Bronze and iron, as harsh as it may sound, is for those who are worse than average and have to learn more about the game to get better than others. Both gold and silver are filled with people who can be good at mechanics, but simply lack macro of rotations, map awareness and objective control. That's why there is no difference between those 2 tiers. Play with people in "high" gold and they will still not understand when to baron, as much as any silver player.

Also who am I being educated by? Someone who got the same rank with about 6 times the amount of games played? Well at least you're good at numbers from 1 to 5 I see.

Haha, is that why you felt like you had something there? Or did you already realize you're not gonna "educate" a lot today?

I don't know what gold you've been playing in but every time I go through gold its the same drooling special ed kids in the corner

yeah I see what you mean I got the same impression when I first reached gold, but now I feel more like they're playing carelessly on purpose than really ignoring how to play well people who unload steam because they got out of bronze, people who are used to stomp by spamming Q, and suddenly encoutering some resistance and just feeding over and over out of frustration; but once they focus and do some efforts, they actually play on a totally different level than lower elos

what you're saying is sounds an awful lot like "when the gold players stops being a gold player he gets good", which I can agree with yes.
