My win rate does not tell my story

(Rant) I am bronze 3 with a 33% win rate in ranked. I have an mmr of bronze 1. I just play league and have fun, and really don't play ranked that much. But I play so many games (games where I don't even do that bad) and all I hear from teammates is "bronze trash," "you're getting carried by your gold jungler," etc. MY RANK DOES NOT TELL MY WHOLE STORY. I don't give a damn if you're bronze 5 or diamond 3 but flaming people for rank is toxic and annoying as hell. Am I go 0-10 and loosing you the game? No. I'm just playing doing as well as everyone else. But I'm getting flamed for being bronze when it's really not warrented. Why can't I just play and be a part of the team? High elo players need to understand that just because you're play doesn't entitle you to ruin everyone else's game.

TLDR; DONT BE AN ASS TO LOW ELO PLAYERS IF THEY DONT DESERVE THE FLAME

The entire purpose of ranked PvP games is so underage brats can feel good by stepping on people they feel are inferior to them.

Unfortunately, those sort of people wont be good sports just because someone asked. Queue the hate and downvotes from angry silver V people.

I feel your pain, unfortunately this is nothing new.

Ranked shaming has been going on since status/standing among peers was a thing. If people have a status that marks them as somehow superior to others they will seek every opportunity to rub it in your face if they are losing against you, both in competitive games and in arguments.

It's the lazy coward's way of avoiding having to alter their worldview. If they are losing it's not their fault, it's just that the enemy team has a really good player. And if they are challenged here on the forums, it takes less effort to dismiss the challenger as inferior than it does to actually engage with them or address their points.

It sucks that people are this way to you. The best you can do is call them on their bullshit or just ignore them and move on.

it just means you dont have any impact. it doesnt matter if you can hold your own.

Lets say a lane goes even, what each of those players do in the midgame/late game can be vastly different. There's a big difference between a riven that goes even in lane and doesnt have good engages, and one that goes even and constantly catches the adc after laning and gets multiple man knockups/stuns throughout the game.

You can't tell me that with a 33% winrate in bronze, that after 100 games in gold, you'll still be in gold. You'd fall.

My intention isnt to be rude but there is a reason you're bronze. I guess laning isn't it. It isn't about **not even doing that bad **, its about doing good, and doing that consistently. We're not all challenger, we all have areas we can improve in.

Half the people who are flaming you are bronze just go on a ingame site where you can check out your teammates lol.
