Hello, I'm Silver V and I have important thoughts how champions played by monkeys should be balanced

Yenn··1 votes·421 views

When are we going to get rank restricted forums?

The number of Diamond+ players who even post has dropped almost to zero, because the forums are overrun by terrible low rated players spouting nonsense that only holds true in low rated games.

The removal of rank badges made it worse, because you can't easily see which posts are some terrible Bronze II player spewing garbage.

Pretty sure Riot doesn't want to promote elitist douchebaggery in their game when the majority of their playerbase is in lower elos or doesn't even play Ranked.

SoloQ for Challengers, Solo/duo for Diamond+, FackU for other 98% of players.

If that's not promoting elitist douchebaggery, I'm not sure what is.

Your argument would make a lot of sense for some other company though.

I didn't know there were many Wukongs, Katarina, and Soraka mains.

I understand the Soraka autoattack banana joke, and Wukong is a monkey.

What about Katarina?

Samflash31 votes

The joke is that people think that Katarina is face roll easy to play that they just need monkeys to press R and win fights.

Probably should added Karthus.

That's not true.

Wukong is also hard to play. Have you seen the pro jukes?

Soraka support is easy, I'll give you that. All supports and ADCs are super easy rightclick champs though.

It's important to have low elo players comment on balance because you can get an idea of what is too oppressive to low elo players.

Even if the game is balanced around LCS one pick that ruins any Silver game will cause people to turn around and leave and that's not optimal at all.

The problem is that it drowns out any real discussion on the state of balance, because what we experience is completely different from what they experience. There's no possibility of having any discussion on what is and isn't balanced at Diamond, because any threads will be swarmed by low rated players and their contrary experiences, which are only possible because they and the people they play with are bad at the game.

Add, "at high elo..." Argue it from that point of view If low elos comment you can tell them to refer to the title without being a dickweed.

Problem solved.

Any real discussion should be backed up with more than just personal experiences but drawing from statistics that validate your point. You can make general assessments from how the majority of players at all elos do against a champion.

Well, the majority of players are Bronze to Silver. Myself included (for now)

Majority of your whine threads were NOTHING DIFFERENT compared to a Bronze or Silver.

You are acting all high and mighty, yet the people you are spitting on are not even 3 divisions below you...

If you are going to spew garbage like this, at least be of a high enough rank that it isn't utterly ridiculous.
