I dont get why the game is balanced for high elo when the majority players are below diamond. I dont feel like the argument "Its because they're good" is valid because if the game was balanced for lower elos, higher elo surely would just be able to adapt and play around it. Then again this is just my opinion. What do you poeple think about this matter?
Faie2 votesThe game is balanced around the way it is supposed to be played. Imagine if Football (Soccer) was balanced around not being able to shoot the ball correctly, so instead, all you had to do to score was to get the ball into the penalty box.
Lower skilled players should aspire to play better and play the game correctly, rather than having tools be given to them as a handicap.
Zelorxon2 votesAight, i deleted the post because it was filled with anger and insults and vulgar words, i'll try to explain it as best as i can.
-Bronze -Silver -Gold -Platinum -Diamond -Diamond 2 <--- this level here -Diamond 1 -Masters -Challenger
Diamond 2 is what i call "the level 0", when you play with the skills and the knowledge of a D2 player you have finally reached the level 0, you're at the base, the ground.
Diamond 2 is the 0,1% of the players.
Anything below that is absolutely, utterly, completely irrelevant.
Imagine playing mario kart without knowing which button is the accellerator, how to use the items, what the items do, what is the purpose of those "?" blocks, why you get slowed down when you go offroad... That is any elo below diamond 2. Any elo below diamond 5 instead is basically a squealing retarded kid that is pissing and shitting on his N64, cutting the wires of the controller, puking all over himself, laughing and crying hysterically as he crawls and rolls in his own vomit trying to eat it back and punching himself on his head and then crying because it hurts and he's blaming something else for the pain he's feeling and the nintendo isn't working. Would you build the world around what i just described to you?
Now, there are several reasons why one would be there, may it be the lack if time, the fact that riot manipulates the matchmaking and socially engineered retards, trolls and casuals for the sheer sake of milking money into the game, social obligations, irl duties, university, job, anything.
But there are some players, i've been playing a few games on ivern recently, and while there was people that would have bitten me on the neck because i refused to give them the blue, people that stole my red buff even if they were feeding and trolling HARD just for the sake of pissing me off because i was the only one doing good that now REFUSE to walk for 3-4 seconds towards the buff to get their free copy, supports that let you die literally watching and walking back and forward and then flaming and insulting you because you died, people that flame you because you are doing the correct play and they just don't understand it, riot several seasons ago removed wards for marketing purposed as players considered it a "beta move" to do as wards were seen as a punishment and/or humiliation instead of useful and necessary tactical play, they added sightstone and trinkets to give players FREE WARDS THAT THEY COULD USE AT NO EXPENSE WHATSOEVER, all i saw was filthy retards going "i don't need a trinket" at the beginning of season 4 when they were introduced and now hordes over hordes of retards complaining about "being forced to buy a sightstone" just because their ego is so pathetically fragile and insignificant that even playing a game correctly is hurtful for them.
Those players aren't there for a legit reason, they are there simply because they're actually stupid and their mental capabilities are limited.
You don't balance a game around them (unless you want to suck their dick as riot does because money after all is the purpose of their job), you just don't.
I feel better now.
Spideraxe1 votesBecause they play the game how its supposed to be played, anything can happen in bronze and silver
EndlessSorcerer1 votesThat would be because high ELO players are generally playing and using champions properly. They actually know what they are doing.
If a champion stomps in low ELO but is weak (or average) in high ELO (i.e. Volibear, Master Yi), it generally means they have sufficient counterplay and low ELO players aren't using it properly.
If a champion is average or weak in low ELO but stomps high ELO (i.e. Nidalee, Azir), it generally means the champion is extremely strong and the low ELO players aren't using them properly.
If you want the game to actually be balanced, you have to adjust it based on the top-tier players. Otherwise, the game won't be balanced in the least.
Astôlfo1 votesBecause no one cares about balancing around shit ELO because this game is not balanced around players NOT being able to do things, it is balanced around the players who actually know how to play properly.
