For New Bronze Players & ELO
Hey guys! My names Jasmine and Im a new bronze 2 player who joined in January. I noticed how difficult it isto adapt to all these nerf patches if they are in favor of higher elo players, or "pro/plays" especially when we're still attempting to learn the individual items and keep up with all that's going on with champions nerfs/buffs. I'm not sure if it's a problem with you guys as well but sometimes we get placed with ranked higher elo trolls or people from years prior who were silver or gold and obviously have had more experience than myself and many other new bronze players. I play ranked maybe once or twice a week, maybe three times if I'm feeling daring, but could we potentially have a barrier between long term players and players who have had years of experience and still can't get out of bronze? I have friends who recently joined that do not have the privilege of having a few friends in silver or gold to tutor them either. I myself watch tutorials on YouTube or twitch or the live pro-plays but it's very difficult to relate when we're not in these golds, diamonds, plats. The ranking system is also a bit frustrating when we lose LP not based on our individual play but the mistakes of others to which our rank is threatened with demotion, which again, I've seen quite a few of my friends go down under. Keep in mind, I'm not saying they're these great and amazing players and that it should be easy for them/us but there are also some players who have played ranked games so long they do not take it very seriously or players can't even step out of base without getting mauled. Not intentionally feeding but they can't even get an assist because they don't understand the game mechanics. The toxicity is another problem, (I personally can ignore it) but when a good player has to mute the chat because one player is roasting them and they get tilted, that's pretty much game since that player who got tilted could have potentially guided their team mates to victory.
Anyway the main point is, (only if you've played ranked or play consistently) do you struggle with winning because of any of these situations?
