Just a couple of thoughts i had and i wanted to add up about soloQ, aka a personal Donezo Manifesto
I commonly go around, ironically or not, saying that i have low diamond mechanics and i have kkoma-tier knowledge. Jokes aside, since i have eyes to see i know i'm pretty fucking good at league, especially because i've been studying the game in my free time, watching and analyzing replays of the best players in particular korean soloQ and competitive since before spirit stone was a jungle item.
Now, in season 5 i started playing ranked because i finally found the confidence to do so, and the time, and because i played only the last 3 days i got placed in silver 2, my fault, i admit it, 3 days are not enough to have any remarkable accomplishment in ranked, so even if i got salty because if i didn't had ap rengar, plat border 0/22/0 teemo, ap malphite support no sightstone and draven that feeds one kill walking in the enemy jungle and then afks (i still remember my very first ranked where i went 12/4/7 and we lost because top went afk because dinner was ready there) i could have placed at least gold and snatch that free skin (even if i didn't liked it anyway, and i hate to use skins on sivir since they mess up the autoattack animation and i don't like it...), but i dealt with it and moved on to the next season.
Coming to last season, due being busy, i started playing the last 3 months or so, i never had a game where i performed below good and i had a winrate of 50%, keep in mind this number because it will come handy later. Same shit as always, i spammed it all over the boards: trundles that 1v1 xin at lv2, obviously die, to back to lane on a minion that's tanking 12 MINIONS vs a lv4 xin now and get oneshotted as soon as the tp channel ends, now we can clearly and unanimously agree that those players are a cancer for ranked games, and they are NOT there to win, not even the foggiest idea of winning passes trough what we are forced to call "minds". As soon as i added on discord a gold guy, which i'm still better but at least he's good willed and listens to my calls and my coaching since he added me for this purpose in particular, i started winning more games, go figure... As soon as i met old highschool friends where we went 4 premades in ranked and they were listening to every single word of mine when i was shotcalling, we fucking annihilated the asses of the enemy team, taking the inhbitor at 17 minutes and winning the games (3 in a row, where i didn't gave my 100% either since it was past midnight or something).
What changed? I was still me, still the old good Zelorxon with his own baggage of skills put in play. I didn't had retards in my team, and as long as i can remember, all the pro players have been boosted to plat even if they went in placements 0-10, which is a good way to prevent them from stomping low elo players but again, even after the plat placements, were the road is all downhill from there (kinda lol), they have been duoing and not playing "supportive" roles as they KNOW that retards are UNCARRYABLE.
Now, coming to FlexQ ᕙ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ᕗ IWillDominate, i think most of you know him, he's a retired pro that now streams for a living. He's stuck in silver. a top 0.0037% player is FUCKING STUCK IN SILVER AND HE FUCKING CAN'T GET OUT. I saw this before, i've been watching dyrus leveling his account and being stuck in diamond V for 5 months, i saw him calling like a madman people to his lane to let him snowball HARD so he could carry the game.

Some games he even gets awful scores such as 2/12, and every other pro player or high elo player are stuck in plat or something.

Just a rant from a salty silver noob scrublord.
Disclaimer: Every baddie that is in any elo, i don't goddamn care, please don't take my complains as an excuse to justify your being bad, what i'm talking about it's not that i want good players to carry me, as you would like, i just want to not get fucked when i'm trying to carry your sorry ass and you start trolling because i took your turret/you play league to an extreme casual level at the point that you're more than a burden for your team.
-edit- I like how this thread will sink into oblivion and be forgotten for the ages to come.. Keepo
