SUPPOSEDLY RIOT THINKS THIS IS A GAMEPLAY THING AND NOT A PLAYER BEHAVIOR THING

Seriously.

Look at that. That is for a top lane champion who is AD.

Just LOOOOK.

And tell me there is no such thing as elo hell. I would have to say more than 60% of bronze have absolute zero clue about how runes work. Sure more than half of mine are silly but i mainly play ADC so my ADC runes are on point. The rest is for ARAM or normal fun games with friends.

But seriously. Some of these people have NO CLUE about how runes work or how to buy them. The amount of people i have had in games who have NO RUNES...

Add that and the crazy stuff these people pick in lanes (teemo jungle, ryze ADC, Leblanc ADC building attack damage not just the new trick ppl are doing having a mage bot.). It is absurd. Just down right absurd how people think it is possible to carry these brain dead people in this game. Some of them JUST hit 30 and jump right into ranked thinking they can now!

I am not saying they shouldn't EVER ranked. No. I want them to play and get better. But that is the problem, how will they get better if there is no one teaching them. Take summoner school for instance, that subreddit gets a TINY amount of people compared to how many users this game has, and how many are tied to bronze level. And most summonerschool players/users are 2 years or more into the game and just want to improve over their silver status!!

We need something that helps them from INSIDE the game. Hell. We need mentoring in the game. This would even bring a new element to TWITCH/streaming. Having lets say, QTpie mentoring/teaching a new level 30 how to play while on stream. Or anyone really doesn't need to be a new 30. We NEED this. Or a proper tutorial that is updated with the new META inbuilt into the client.

Please think about this!

I don't know how this isn't a player behavior thing as it is players acting out in a way due to a lack of something and me explaining the mentality of VERY LOW ELO players but i guess this is gameplay related...

Thankfully the other team is statistically more likely to have that sort of player provided you have sensible runes and play fine, so even if some games aren't carry-able, you'll still trend upwards on average. The people who understand stuff will eventually trend up and be matched with/against those at a similar level of understanding, and the ones who don't will slide down to an elo where everyone has shortcomings of comparable significance (sometimes the shortcomings are runes, other times it's mechanics, other times it's simply attitude).

Also runes aren't really going to make that big a difference compared to the relative skills involved, which are rarely even enough for the runes to matter. I'm pretty confident I could poop on bronze players with no runes at all.

Player behaviour is for moderation and code of conduct/rule breaking type of discussions, which poor gameplay choices isn't included in.

And you better believe the other team has players just as ignorant.

Look at this shit. Look at those supports. Please someone guess which ones on both teams are support.
