exactly it is just a game... people take to seriously
people wanna improve and gain rank and while i find it honorable of trying to improve yourself at what it may be... people have turn ranked and their rank to effect their egos and self esteem and self worth... they turn it into a pissing contest. im too old for that shit... i simple dont care ...
and rank what ever it may be ... diamond, gold, bronze its just a way for the game to place people of similar skill level together so players feel they have competitive games and where it is fun and challenging to keep people playing the game more...
if bronze vs diamonds all the time cuz of no separation of skill level, both players are gonna get tired and frustrated with the game
for the bronze player they will feel defeated and no matter what they do isnt good enough and they dont understand why they cant win. and will just quit playing
for the diamond players who have no challenge and the games are super easy they have no drive or motivation to play cuz there is nothing rewarding in just pub stomping bad players ( well a few enjoy it ) and if you didnt have a competitive game vs people of equal/similar skill level you would quickly get bored and quit playing
riot dont want that .. they want every one to get hooked and play as much as possible thinking that everyone can go from bronze to be the next lcs player... and LMAO its not happening ... considering that pro players and caliber skill players are about .00001 % of the player base considering how many people play league and how many pros there are all across all servers.
but just like casinos they want ya hooked with free shit , let you win a lil to keep you playing while robbing you blind
