How does it make you feel to see a Bronze player play good

I just watched some 'pro-play' on Youtube and realized just how overrated it is. This Faker dude is a great player, just watched some dodging vid about him and 80% of it was not reaction time. Simply predicting a skillshot that was already meant for him, not hard stuff. How do you feel when a bronzie out there is doing just the same as Faker for example? Would he still just get called a bronze noob? So far I haven't seen anyone judge a player based upon their skill once their in bronze, they just judge a book by its cover and call them a bronzie. I've never gotten my credit other than being called a scripter, I don't want that...

A lot of people underestimate the importance of macro play. Yeah there might be a bronze player who sidesteps a skillshot very well or predicts the enymies movement like faker does on his stream, but it won't help if the bronze player has no map-awareness and tries to 1v5 or gets caught over and over again.

And if you just watch the stream of Faker you can't see the genius of his decision making. Why does faker roam to the botlane at that moment? Because he is aware of the enemies junglers clearspeed and can predict his position, because he can estimate how long it'll take his lane opponent to clear the wave he shoved in, because he keeps in mind when the enemy support warded, etc.

I remember seeing a gold and a plat throwing ranks at eachother and whining about who lost a game once after I got fed and beat them up. I'm unranked which probably helped their salt :P

People are so quick to judge in bronze. Every other game I get some guy claiming to be a smurf but then if we lose, they start complaining about how bronze his team is. In reality, he lost to a bronze team and couldn't carry like the other people in his rank claim they can do.
