Can we have a bronze border next season?

XinZhao2WinNhao··54 votes·7,387 views

Every elo gets a border, I think that there should be a way to differentiate the people who actually play ranked vs the people who don't play ranked. Think about it this way, at least us bronze players are brave enough to play ranked knowing that we're not the best out there. Meanwhile the unranked people are too scared to play ranked.

So why on earth do you deserve a border as bronze? what exactly have you done? To get bronze you must play a minimum of 10 games, that's it. All you have to do is do your placements and your bronze, how on earth does that equate to you deserving a reward? Because everyone else gets one? That's not exactly how the world works. So in the words of our ancestors, get gud.

Well first of all, it's "Git Gud." Second off, it could be seen as a participation award. Whereas I normally wouldn't support such a pittance prize, I'm surprisingly ok with it. The OP really made sense of it, as allowing players to differentiate between bronzes and those too scared to play ranked.

So why on earth do you think a border is a special reward? 70% of players have one, how unique and rewarding. It literally just shows what rank you were last season. That's all. Bronze people were bronze rank, so they could get a bronze border. All I did to get silver when I first started was play my placements. Had I quit playing, I would have gotten a silver border after 10 games.

Not everyone gets placed in silver though, and I know plenty of trash that gets placed in silver. I've even had a friend who was silver IV last season who really belonged in bronze IV, trust me, I've been in lower bronze, his mechanics and mentality was that of a lower bronze and yet he was placed in silver because he got lucky in his placements, then he never played ranked because he would lose. That's not even me hating on him or anything, plenty of our mutual friends agreed that he didn't belong in Silver. Getting placed in silver doesn't even mean you belong there.

How is a bronze border a reward? No one in their right mind is gonna look at that brown border and go "wow that looks so good i want one". If anything it'll have a negative impact as it shows everyone that you're bronze.

Note: I'm not hating on bronze players seeing as I'm bronze too.

I'm not saying the border itself would be a reward, but by all technicalities it is, since it's called end of season rewards.

You're taking this too seriously over the idea of a bronze (I repeat, bronze) border.

You're taking this too seriously over the idea of a bronze (I repeat, bronze) border.

The only requirement to get bronze is to play 10 games. you could go 0/200 over those 10 games and guess what, you still get bronze. It's not like I'm putting down bronzies it just requires nothing to get bronze other than playing 10 games.

I don't like how you said unranked people are too scared to play ranked. Note: I'm not unranked, but I do dislike playing ranked and play norms most of the time

I hate my ADC4 votes

Which is funny because you don't get your border until the season end. So people would call other "scaredy cats" when in fact they played ranked this season.

Oh boy, I'd love a bronze to insult me for not having a border. :D I'd point them to OP.GG.

yes, you should be rewarded for being the worst players in league of legends

right?

We should be differentiated from the unranked scaredy cats.

I'm silver, and based on normal MMR would be higher than that if I actually played ranked. I don't avoid ranked because I'm afraid of it, I just don't like the atmosphere and community. It's got nothing to do with being afraid of anything.

Bhagswag2 votes

Me too. I play with my friends (who are gold) often. I don't do the best but I do well enough to be comfortable in that division.

I don't like the atmosphere of ranked. I don't get the appeal of it.

That's your choice if you don't want to play ranked.

But then why would you expect a border?

That's like choosing not to register for a class, which is OK, and still expecting a grade in that class, which makes no sense.

Support all ranked players deserve equal treatment.

If bronze players don't get a border that's like saying bronze players didn't even play ranked this season. I support

I know what your saying but there some bronze players with like 1k ranked games. I think k if these players want a bronze border they should get one. Cmon they've played 1k bronze ranked games. Do you k ie how much bullshit they've had to deal with?

SO CUZ I DONT PLAY RANK AND YOU DO AND YOU ARE IN BRONZE YOU THINK BY HAVING THE BOARDER FOR BRONZE MAKES YOU SEEM LIKE YOUR A BETTER PLAYER FOR BEING IN BRONZE ? I JUST WANNA KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS OF WHY?

XinZhao2WinNhao3 votes

If you don't like playing ranked that's fine.

Just don't expect ranked rewards. Ranked rewards are for ranked players.

IM NOT ASKING FOR RANK REWARDS. I HAVE MY SILVER BANNER. BUT WHY DO YOU THINK CUZ YOU ARE IN BRONZE WHERE THEY PUT EVERYONE UNLESS YOU CLIMB OUT OF BRONZE A REWARD FOR BEING BRONZE, YOU CAN HAVE A 0% WIN RATE AND BE IN BRONZE YOU ARENT GETTING KICKED OUT ANY LOWER. BEING BRONZE ISNT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. IM NOT HATING , I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU THINK IT IS JUSTIFIED FOR GETTING REWARDS FOR BEING BRONZE LIKE YOU DO FOR BEING HIGHER?

You don't know what bronze players put up with. We literally trek through the hardest of hardships just playing league everyday. We get trolled, harassed in chat, insulted, made fun of in the forums, we have teams that don't cooperate with us, etc.

lmao that is every game on league from blind pick, draft pick to all of rank. and i do know i was bronze before. s4 bronze, s5 silver. but to justify any kind of rewards for being at the bottom is in all honesty giving trophies for being last place. its like doing a race where there are 8 people in the race and typically only the top 3 get medals , the last place guy dont get a medal.

XinZhao2WinNhao4 votes

No, it's like a race with 8 people where the top 7 get medals, and the 8th doesn't. That's just mean.

do big letters scare you? where you bullied and abused by capital letters? I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE BUTT HURT OVER BIG LETTERS.

But if I type like this which is the proper way by capitalizing the first word and proper nouns it is perfectly ok. So I am really really confused. I just dont understand. Did you see John Cena on WWE on TBS the other night of August 23rd 2016? See there are alot of BIG LETTERS in that sentence. lol

Because it's annoying an an eyesore, that's why people don't like it. It also demolishes the emphasis that all-caps usually has, which, when used sparingly for only certain words or sentences, can serve to emphasize that particular point. It also is frequently used by trolls and ragers because they think it's funny or makes their point better, so since 99% of all-caps posts are trash that isn't worth reading it immediately gives people a negative impression of the post before they even read it.

Plus, it sounds like you're constantly yelling, and people who are constantly yelling generally aren't people who are enjoyable to interact with or remotely reasonable, both in real life and online.

HOW ARE CAPITAL LETTERS AN EYESORE? MAYBE IM BEING HELPFUL TO THOSE WHO CANT SEE SMALL LETTERS?

VoidStaresBack5 votes

For the reasons I stated: they make you sound like a raging, flaming asshole rather than a rational individual, since most, if not all, people who use all-caps are doing it to rage about something or insult someone else, which makes it bothersome to even see because it's just "oh great, another rage post, wonder what this person's raging about this time..."

I actually like this idea, as it would also allow players getting into the game to know their rough skill level before they get into ranked.

edit: I'm not saying this as an insult to new players; I'm just saying that it's a helpful tool for telling where they can expect to end up being placed.
