If they are gonna have iron they could at least put it in the historically correct order...

It's not about historical order lol

Bronze Silver Gold is historically correct though when it comes down to tiering competitively in any sport though.

Bronze Iron Silver Gold makes zero sense

CaveslothSep 20, 20186 votes

The rank system goes by rarity (rarity of player=rarity of the material), so Iron being at the bottom makes perfect sense.

Ya got me on that one. They just didn't want people to feel bad for being in wood, even though people will probably still call it "wood division" anyhow.

They could've at least made it sound like it fits in. Iron->Bronze sounds weird, wood was definitely Riot's comeback on winning back the fan base.

Vapor Wave VibesSep 19, 201813 votes

Iron is a stronger and more useful material over Bronze. What's going on at Riot HQ?

SociaI JusticeSep 19, 20189 votes

bronze is actually quite useful for many things, while iron isn't really used for anything anymore.

You need iron to smelt INTO steel...

Also just wow fella! That's some of thr most obvious multi account up voting I've seen in a while. :P

SociaI JusticeSep 20, 20184 votes

you also need wood to produce paper, also bitch please up / down votes mean jack shit who the fuck could bother with that.

a lot of shit is made out of shit different combinations of shit, coke consist of mostly water but you can't really say that coke is water / is made of water. if you said that iron is used to produce steel then yeah sure, but iron =/= steel.

Dude... earlier you posted and I quote "Iron isn't used for anything anymore." Where my point was it's used as a base for steel which is used A LOT.

And if no one cares about upvotes? Then why is your random, bronze better then iron post at like +7? :P

Romans VI XXIIISep 20, 20181 votes

Actually u have that backwards. Bronze is not used any more. Iron is used MUCH more, what you are thinking of us copper that is used a lot. But bronze is one of the least used metals and/or metal alloys atm.

SociaI JusticeSep 20, 20181 votes

i mean to be perfectly honest i don't think straight iron is used for anything at all while bronze is still used for slidin pieces n pistons n shit

Romans VI XXIIISep 21, 20181 votes

well "straight" Iron used used in making just about all the major alloys, you cant just through out all alloys that use Iron just cause its not named Iron. Iron is used WAY more than bronze. its a fact. there is no disputing it. There is probably more iron in the buildings of NY city than there is bronze used in the whole world.

SociaI JusticeSep 21, 20181 votes

iron is an element while bronze is an alloy, you can't compare something that's made of different elements to an element without restricting the element to being used as it is. this is like claiming that water is hydrogen because it consist of mostly hydrogen, i'm sure you can see why this is stupid.

Romans VI XXIIISep 21, 20181 votes

No one is claiming Iron is anything but Iron, but you CAN NOT ignore the fact that IRON is used more than bronze. its not a matter of what it is used for, but quantity that is used.

Your arguing a mute point, you can not argue against that fact that more iron is used than bronze. Whether its in alloys, or iron castings, pure iron or mixed it is still USING iron. Really all your doing is proving how much more useful Iron is than bronze.

SociaI JusticeSep 21, 20181 votes

yeah fam when you are drinking water you are actually using oxygen and hydrogen rather than water.

when your argument is that hydrogen is the most consumed thing by humans and you don't realize its dumb as fuck.

Certain iron alloys are still called "iron". Iron can be pig iron, cast iron etc...

Because I could say similar about Silver, Gold, Platinum ... rarely used in pure form, but the alloy is still called silver, gold, etc...

CaveslothSep 20, 20183 votes

It goes by rarity, not strength. Is gold stronger than bronze? Iron is more common than Bronze, because bronze is made from copper. Ever turn both of those in at a scrap yard? Guess which one you get more money for, it isn't iron...

Romans VI XXIIISep 22, 20181 votes

nor is it bronze, lol. you are thinking of copper. Matter of a fact most scrap yards do not even have prices for/buy bronze, as its very rare to have as scrap. As it is mostly used as platting (Think cooking utensils and pots/pans).

CaveslothSep 22, 20181 votes

Bronze is 80 percent copper. It maybe rare to turn it in since its not used in a bulk form, (because copper is frikin' expensive again proving my point), but I can guarantee they'd give you more money for it than Iron, so again, the system makes sense as is.

People are just either confused because they've come to associate bronze with being the lowest from all the various ranked systems that have it at the bottom (or the fact that its the lowest medal in sports), or they are just mad because RIot killed the "wood division" meme for obvious reasons and are lashing out by grasping at straws and arguing over semantics that don't even make sense in when taking in proper context.

Fix Windwall FFSSep 19, 20186 votes

They said that the reason they did that was because they were afraid of people using wood tier as an insult. I guess that's reasonable since people have been using it as an insult for a while now even though its not even a thing. Tbh though, i don't think it will take very long before people start using iron division as an insult.

True GarenDec 2, 20186 votes

Let them split Bronze, into Copper and Tin. Tin is a soft, pliable, relatively common and inexpensive metal, entirely appropriate for the lowest division. Besides, think of the Tin Man.

True GarenDec 2, 20186 votes

I figured it out. Iron Pyrite is "Fool's Gold".

True GarenDec 2, 20186 votes

Iron SOUNDS way too cool to properly denote the lowest division. There should be an appropriate term that isn't too denigrating. Granite and Flint were suggested...
