PSA: Higher Elo Players Aren't Infallible

Keti·9/15/2016, 4:22:09 PM·61 votes·2,380 views

Yes, I am diamond 3. You don't need to ask me after every mistake I make or time that I die. No, I did not buy my account, I'm just doing poorly in ONE game. Just like everyone else I am a human being prone to mistakes, tilting, or playing unusually crappy for whatever reason. I promise you I'm already frustrated enough at myself for how I am playing.

I want to relax a bit when I play norms in this game, the last thing I want is to get roasted whenever I don't play up to the expectations of my rank, even when I usually do. Yet it seemed it's required that I carry each and every game or I'm just fraudulent. You can be proud of yourself for beating me, you can think I suck, whatever. Just keep it to yourself, say gg, and act like you've been there before. Cuz ffs, I just want to play videogames with no drama.

Sincerely,

Boosted Animal

That's part of being 1%.

Ppl will be jelly like a belly so they take any possibility to humiliate you and to feel better about themselves. It's part of human behaviour. You should be ready for it and develop tough skin.

Why are you upset that some scrub who can't get out of low elo is flaming u?

Funny story, I just got out of a game where our Rek'Sai accused our Silver IV Ashe of being boosted because she rushed a BOTRK in a norm*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

And this is why i don't climb in ranked.

Heck im Rank 7 on Blitzcrank, Rumble, Teemo, Ziggs, Twitch, Morgana and Wukong and if i so much as fail lane phase/an engage/ the match. I get called a rank 7 noob who doesn't deserve it X_X.

I might be unlucky but I get shhhh on if i do bad with my main

if high elo players didn't talk so damn high and mighty all the time or insulted low elo players this wouldn't be an issue

<3 One of the problems of being held up on a pedestal. Sorry your rank gets you grief.

I want to know how you have such an insane Kda on kindred thats all...

I usually stay under 5 deaths a game in mid plat but to average 2 deaths a game is pretty nuts

Especially when half of them are boosted monkeys.

Now just imagine that you're in plat right now...at least you still have soloQ up there.

People are so quick to judge the good players after one bad game. Its like they have nothing better to do than belittle others.

Hot Belly Dancer9/16/2016, 2:36:05 PM1 votes

you have to blame the true boosted animals for that, its because of them that honest players suffer from their lack of integrity

ikr its really annoying in normals

Mira Arya Enthe9/15/2016, 4:23:36 PM1 votes

This applies to all ELOs. Even LCS players make mistakes, lots of them. Or nobody would ever lose/win the game.

Ur boosted.

Yea, the OPs reason is partially why I stay out of normals on my main (I hate the wonky match making as well). I've had games where I was 5-0-5 but started to get destroyed by some silver that is 12-1-1 that got fed off the fresh level 30 on my team that is duod with their D1 friend. The silver acts like I'm boosted or that he deserves to get diamond and treats me like shit in chat all game. What he silver fails to realize is that he got fed off someone else and that when you have a 6k gold lead skill no longer matters.

So yea, you don't even need to necessarily have a bad game to get flamed for being high elo, you can simply have team mates that fed enough.

why do you even care

like if some guy in potato elo is trash talking you .. i mean if they're still in potato elo.

King of Mongoose9/15/2016, 6:05:36 PM1 votes

its just salty kids who get mad because they can't climb out of silver so when they solokill me in lane they think they're tough shit but they are real trash
