"thats why you're bronze"

The Bard Dog··13 votes·1,466 views

sure, im bronze. but it's not because i suck or anything. its just because i don't play ranked.

if you're gonna at least shit talk someone who's bronze, try not to shit talk the guy who has been consistently outplaying you all game.

i don't care if you're god damn challenger. if you're 1/5 against your "garbage bronze" opponent, you have no room to shit talk them.

its even more annoying when i have a silver on my team doing much worse than me, talking about "hehehe you're bronze i don't need to listen to you im silver X". it doesn't matter if i'm bronze or not. i still understand when to go in, when not to go in, when to push a lane, when to freeze, and when to pop my summoners/ults.

lately my mmr has been climbing pretty high ever since i finally went over 50% wins in normals, and that has made me a huge target to my teammates who lolnexus at the start of the game, and then instantly assume im bad because im bronze 1.

why don't people understand the simple concept of mmr, which is**_ if you're silver 2 and have a bronze 1 in your game there's 2 things that are possible. either you suck and have a terrible mmr, or he has a higher mmr than what his rank is, and is most likely just as good or better than you"_**

let's not forget normals mmr and ranked mmr are independent of each other. If you play both equally as much, they will be approximately the same, but if you play one more than the other, they will be different.

Champion stats have little to do with whether a champion is FotM.

If you are better than 'Bronze', you should be able to move up with ease. or simply stay unranked, or simply restrain from giving 'advice'.

And people would just take your word for it? I can also easily say I am the LCS-worthy, just don't feel like playing ranked.

tbh, the only thing they ever know about you at all, is your name, and your rank. If your rank is lower, people give your less credibility and a simple demand : 'I might be bronze but I know better than you' isn't very convincing.

if it's common sense being said then yes do it

also when im up 10 kills and trying to explain what to do, my rank should not matter one bit.

Actually I don't enjoy solo ranked, I prefer actually play with my friend over some unknow people who can actually make this game less enjoyable.

Then restrain from tell unknown strangers what to do.

i have a gold freind whos sayign exactly what im saying.

your silver easy as long as you bite your tounge with the nemours shit players in this game.

to many players are to ready to throw games becuase you said they maid a painful screw up that snow balled over to others. like a trsita jump reset the forced a back and put the ally adc 20 cs and a kill behind..

It tends to happen a lot in this game. A player's rank isn't black and white. There's a variety of factors and reasons that need to be taken in account. Being bronze doesn't necessarily mean that the player "sucks." What it does mean is that--when you play competitively, in other words, ranked-- there is a difference between gameplay. Bronze gameplay is supposed to be different from higher ranked gameplay. Each tier represents a certain level of competitive play, but (again), it is not always true depending on specific players.

A lot players in this game love to blame their team for their own individual misplays/mistakes. It is very unwise to assume this, but, I believe everyone in this game has been a victim of this and has also contributed to this specific kind of behavior.

With that being said, you should just ignore your teammates when they try to play the blame game or bully you for being a lower rank. There's always room for improvement. If you are able to recognize your mistakes and recognize the consequence of those mistakes then you are a beast.

Please link the game against the challenger that went 1/5. I'm very curious about it.

:facepalm:

Hyperbole.

tofutime1 votes

Well if everything about this post is hyperbole it's a rather baseless post.

Drunk Rummate1 votes

just remember if you go 5/1 in lane and still lose the game, that's why you're bronze.

but if you go 5/1 and win against a high ranked opponent... well good job then, more power to you.

OP is obviously very butthurt about the situation.

  1. you do play ranked, or you would be unranked and not bronze.
  2. if you were skilled you would of placed higher than bronze.
  3. normals and ranked play out basically the same and is a completely realistic place to develop skill, which you have not done (re: bronze)
