Then I carried my ass back into plat promos and won. Man, that could have been bad.
Anyone else notice the game play in gold is completely different? People are nicer if you pick off meta, and are less likely to troll? The second I got back to plat, I started getting ragers again.
It almost even seems as if plat players have worse gameplay.
Mysticman892 votesI think it's mostly just life around the edges of tiers that's abysmal. I was in my plat promos yesterday morning, and spent the day doing really well individually and losing all my games because people got all salty over silly reasons and DC'd (e.g. one person got mad that the jg leeched xp while waiting to gank) or just straight up failed to connect. (I think theres like 5+ games where I literally have a perfect kda and 50%+ kill participation that are losses >.<)
The plat 5's (in games with golds) are all salty that they can't climb further and/or don't care about winning anymore since getting demoted a tier is hard. Meanwhile in the middle of a tier everyone is generally still trying to climb and all working together for their own best interests, so they'll at least pretend to be ok with atypical picks in the interest of team morale (I supported an irelia adc earlier today - we won). It's not just the gold/plat edge either, I think the edge of bronze/silver and silver/gold is a mess too, and I hear plat/diamond is pretty rough around the edges too. (I'd like to think diamond/master people are pretty serious at that point, but that might be naive on my part.)
ÂzaIea1 votesIt really is. Yesterday I played Kat mid with smite (haven't tried that since Luden's nerf) and no one in my team said anything. At the start of game the opponent jungler asked if I picked smite by mistake or if it is an actual thing, I replied and that was it, no flaming what so ever or judging my desitions.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesI found Platinum 5 and 4 were probably the worst.
I had the rare issue when I was getting matched with Gold 2/1 or Platinum 3/2, but my matches with Platinum 4/5 were probably the most frequently toxic I have ever experienced.
