Alright lemme clarify something.

After a few games with norms in the glorious silver mmr since I haven't been down in lollipop land in a long time.

Let me tell you some things. Mkay. A lot of my posts in GD mention how brain dead plat and diamond are. ((Don't get me wrong, they still are. Some even still act like you guys.))

But let me clarify some things.

You "Want to Win." "You deserve plat/diamond."

I'm going to be upfront. No. No you don't.

When you fail teleport. By fail, I mean popping tele, then cancelling it right away due to blowing your own fucking flash and sitting there like a brain dead idiot in the middle of river because of it. Don't tell me you deserve gold. Let alone plat. Any gold laner would have taken advantage of that for lane abuse, and a plat laner would straight up shit on your bot lane + take drag + two turrets + mid while you sat there looking like an idiot in river. A Challenger player would have just said "GG" and won the game in the next 10 minutes because of it.

When you're dying to very visible visually warded ganks seeing people running to you + getting back off pings, and you're too stupid to back off. You don't deserve gold as a top laner. You're just spoon feeding. A plat top would punish that with a possible gank top + mid, or even take baby baron + kill you on your way back + kill your jungler and snowball like amother fucker off of it. Don't tell me "You're just held back by bads." After you do this.

When you're fucking build is

into a fed pantheon. You're an idiot. You are not good. Let alone no amor runes? He's doing true damage to you + counter building you. And you just stack meaningless ap on a poor scaling champ? WTF? This game is very simple. There are literally hundreds of guides out there for counterbuilding + what to take vs X/Y. Oh he HAS! Maybe I should buy some fucking armor, or health! Since you know, he has 20/30 armor pen and is hitting me for almost true damage now. This is where people will capitalize on your poor build and punish the hell out of you. You have nothing but amplifying tomes, a pair of boots, and a revolver. They'll just buy hexdrinkers and run down your back row straight up ignoring your ass because Panth alone will kill you with QE. You're not even a threat. You're like that kid in school that gets knocked into a locker by the random jock with sunglasses walking by to a random badass song playing.

When you're Ziggs in the mid lane. You do not just sit on your ultimate. It is your roaming tool. You don't "roam." You're like Lux and snipe people. When your enemy Lux is roaming, or even fighting in the jungle. Don't just sit there going "? ? ? ? ? ? ?" Throw your fucking ulti. You were designed to pressure mid hard while also skirmishing with ult. That's your entire purpose. Don't hold onto that shit. Don't tell me you're diamond quality and idk wtf I'm talking about. When you fail flash + throw your ult in the wrong direction and knock your self back into Pantheon with your W I can't look at you like the diamond 3/2 Zigs players I've seen. I see a fucking brain dead idiot whose getting mad that he's getting called out by someone way higher than him and he can't fucking deal with it.

^^ This right here is the shit we "higher" up people see you do all the fucking time. It's how we "carry" games on our smurfs that's "so unfair." We capitalize and punish the fuck out of you people when we see you do this crap. Now that I actually spell out the crap I see as I proceed to triple kill your team while bouncing around how retarded of screw ups does it sound like?

It's very very simple. There are just so many mistakes, and getting to higher ranking is basically punishing these mistakes. If I see you blow smite in lane on someone and I know it's your second one used by looking at your buffs. I'm going to go kill one of your laners + dragon. You can't contest it. Now I'm going to kill your top laner. Maybe even your mid laner. Idk yet. Haven't decided. You'll never know where I'll be at since I no longer have to worry about dragon. Maybe I might just let you think I'm going to pressure top and double kill bot + get a turret? I see your Soraka blow flash? She's mine now. I'm going to camp the shit out of her until she afks. I'll tilt your bot lane so damn hard your team will open mid.

I know it's not your guys fault. You have almost nothing to go off of. The people you face are just as retarded. The challenger players you watch have nothing to provide since they play on a level so advanced in team stats that everything you'd expect would happen wouldn't actually happen except for there.

For ex: In Plat: If the Leblanc player actually plays Leblanc. You can expect your life to be a ever living hell and for her to anally shit on your entire team zipping around. If you don't buy hexdrinkers, you will probably lose the game. There's no ifs ands or butts. In silver? That Leblanc will probably fuck up her entire combo and I'll just sit there as a regular adc and beat the shit out of her. She probably doesn't even know how to bait out exhausts + summoners + poke people down before sieging turrets.

That Lux: Odds are if she has a skin and is a Lux main. She'll never be caught until the end of the game. She'll take exhaust/barrier and be the most unkillable p.o.s you've ever laid eyes on. Will know how to perfectly clip her + weave in autos to nuke you as early as level 1. It'll be so disgusting that you'll want to afk as she bms you with a mejais + mastery banner + constant camping from jungler.

Silver Lux? Walking blue B hand offer imho. She'll wiff her E + snare a minion and flash into melee range of fucking Tryndamere.

It's harsh. It's tl;dr. But this is the bitter truth and the difference of plat/silver.

No doubt we are dumb. We all make mistakes, even challenger players. We just make less, and are far more consistent, and we punish mistakes harder. If I see you fuck up. I'll end the game on you. I will get the 20 minute baron off of one kill + 4 turrets + dragon + double inhib. I won't even let you regret it. You'll just be seeing the defeat screen.

I see 3 people dicking around bot lane? That's an objective, maybe two or three. Maybe even game. Depends on how quick it is for you to notice. I see you grouped as 5 trying to force fights as a team fight heavy team, but you can't get past the first turret? I'm taking your inhib. Go on and send someone after me. I'll just loop back around and win the 4v5 at our turrets.

Don't be like these brain dead idiots. If you want gold/plat? Cool. You want a quick way to get there. Before every play you make. Just ask yourself this, "How fucking retarded would this sound to someone else? If not retarded, then ask yourself this. "If I fuck up right here, and their jungler /mid/top is actually here, how badly will this hurt us?" IF the punish is greater than the reward. Don't do it. It's really that simple. You don't see the jungler. Enemy top hasn't used their tele but yours has. Mid is nowhere to be found. Dragon is ward. There's a ward in that bush right next to you of the enemies. Don't fucking engage on that Ashe spamming her BM emote on you. Fucking chill. If not get the fuck out of there if it's a dive heavy comp. If you don't give into the pressure. they can't capitalize and your top/mid can punish them for wasting their time. This is called trading. You didn't take the bait. They wasted time + exp +levels + gold. You gained an advantage just by not going in on that shit!

See how easy this stuff sounds? It's not hard. It's not rocket science. It's just common sense man.

I hope you guys take this for what it is. This isn't trash talking. I see people every single day ask "How do I improve. How do I get better." You get simple answers. You give stupid remarks, and then continue going down the same path. I am giving you straight solid cold hard advice. This is the crap I see. This is the crap I do to punish you for the shit I see. This is how we win games. That is how you lose them.
