God Bronze is Actually ELO HELL.

Imperial Japan··2 votes·1,252 views

Now before you go all up on my tail and say that it's not the ranking but it's just my skill but let me tell you this.

Every single game I get at least one rager, an AFK, a smurf, or a troll.

Just last game alone I went singed top and the Alistar support int'd and then afk'd, the ekko mid trolled by taking jungle camps then afk'd, the warwick just flat out afk'd and left my ADC Jinx and myself to actually try. Long story short, we lost.

Two games ago I had a smurf on my team and a Xin who fed the enemy Aatrox 22 kills. Of course bot lane did good but after the Veigar support accidentaly ks'd one of caitlyns kills she tyler 1'd it and ran it down lane while raging the entire game. Needlessly to say we lost.

etc etc etc you get the point. (I mean to be fair I WAS playing champions that I do not usually play nor is meta but that's besides the point. What i'm trying to point out is that Bronze is a hellhole lol)

Also just as some background but I was silver 1 last season.

Not only because of the reasons i mentioned but also due to bronze being a horrible learning environment

gotta start somewhere, definatly not at the top where you would mess high elo up.

Not at the top but I think that there should be a better way of allowing low elo players to learn from higher up players. Maybe by like placing the ones without a history of bans or chat restrictions with players a few ranks above occasionally.

You get to be fed every game and stomp bronzes, sure some games are unwinnable, but you just go ham every game and they dont know what to do.

The only times i died in bronze were due to my own stupidity, not because i was outplayed

Yes but sometimes (especially when i'm jungling) there's some things that would be expected that players would do in higher up ELOs that these players just don't know of yet and it makes the games a hella hard. Especially when they troll and afk.

That's why you play voli and you dont need a team.

"some games are unwinnable" as i said earlier, but play something with ad and take turrets, or play ziggs

That will win you games

It's not as much as bronze players just suck but it's that they afk or rage at the slightest things so frequently that causes a loss in many games.

Well, i would say it isn't, because it isn't for anyone that's higher elo because we can carry through all that. But lower elo? i guess it could be considered unlucky, but if there's 85k people in plat 3 or higher, i'm sure you can find a way to get out of bronze. Sooner or later, you'll end up in the elo you deserve. Luck balances out sometime or another.

Yes but i'm around the middle of the ranked ladder and i cannot solo carry especially when half of my team is gone. It is due to how unlucky i was but there is just such a high rate of players who do these things just hinders my ability to carry.

I have played bronze. It was very easy to get out because people barely even realized when I was ganking them.

I could split push and they'd do nonsense like send all 5 against me... I was on the opposite side of the map when they finally arrived. Bronze is very easy....

Yes but the thing is there's a lot higher amounts of players who rage, play bad, and just flat out AFKs or trolls through out the game.

It's sort of hard to splitpush when half your team is gone

Diamond 1 was the real Elo Hell. You won't believe how fucking difficult it was to get past it. For weeks, it felt like whichever team had more Master/Challenger players in them would win.

Well that does make sense but at least it's based on who has who. (better player) rather than your games being decided by salty raging toxic assholes who afk 2 minutes in

Oh you'd be surprised how toxic Diamond players can get. At that level, they already know their mistakes, so when a teammate still points them out, they get real prissy.
