"All bronze are bad"

"That's a fact. You don't even need to reconsider, just accept my statement as an Eternal Truth. The sooner you realize the sooner you can move on." Random Summoner

The problem is that this is NOT the way our world or - to be more specific - our community works. This interpretation leads only a false conclusion which is based on personal experience and in return doesn't offer any kind of solution to make Summoner's Rift a better teamwork oriented map.

However the real question still reamains unanswered. Are they really THAT bad?

The key word that Random Summoner forgot to mention is called ATTITUDE! That's the only "Truth" I can accept or glorify. If you are strong enough to adapt you're strong enough to earn a higher rank.

Let's say you seek challenge in this game... A skill contra skill matchup... With a champion who needs teamwork to fulfill his/her role... (maybe) In a position where you think noone else used him/her before...

You consider to start with an armor/mr/magic pen standard rune page (for a skillshot based mage) - but random enemy Teemo has 64 AP at lvl 1... You refuse to buy lifesteal/spell vamp/GA - even if your opponents start to stacking it like hell... You refuse to take ignite/flash as first or secondary summoner spell - although all of your enemies have the exact same pattern...

I don't need to continue. You are aware what will happen if I do so. It's your preference indeed, just a matter of playstyle - but you've already failed in their hungry eyes. In order to achieve success you need to follow the rules: ADJUST YOURSELF TO OTHERS.

This is the most incoherent thing I have read in days.

Aight, tried to read, literally couldn't decipher it.

I'll just say, Bronze ranked players are, by definition, the worst at league. If they were better they'd be higher ranked. I am Bronze. There is no such thing as ELO hell, if you are ACTUALLY deserving of a higher rank, you will be able to carry all but the most unwinnable games, and you will have a positive win rate, and you will climb. Every game I see what I fuck up, and I see damn well why I deserve bronze.

Now, the issue is when higher ranked players categorically disregard everything a bronze says. Obviously we're going to be wrong a lot, (jesus christ, look at all the Katarina threads...) but we're not literally always wrong. It's possible they have decent game knowledge and insight, but don't have time to play a lot of ranked. Or they main one champion really hard, and have a lot to say about their capabilities and weaknesses.

TL;DR, Bronze =/= mentally handicapped. (though OP is a bad example...)

I've seen a player climb to Silver, but really should belong in bronze 5. Ever heard of the infamous BowsnCanes from trick2g's stream? Bows is complete garbage and is one of the lucky ones who gets carried

It takes a lot of effort to even get to the Bronze in the first place... you like, have to intentionally feed and troll, or afk to get and stay there. -.-

But sure, they are not bad per se... they are inexperienced.
