Low Elo is Depressing

I mean the fact that you run into people who can't farm, ward, take objectives or has an IQ below 15 is bad enough, but champion picks bug me just as much.

So many players just abuse high pick rate champions and don't even try and find champions that are more suited to them. I've talked to a few people who play ADC and they say their ADC go-tos are Ezreal and Lucian, Mid laners go for Lux, Zed or LeBlanc, Jungle is whatever attack speed jungler, Support is Thresh or Braum, etc. Only lane with some variety is top lane, where if Malphite is banned, I see a bit of diversity, but the other four lanes almost make me feel like I am rematching some team from yesterday.

Now I can only hope Riot tries to live up to their promise and bring in more diversity.

Well, where else would you expect to find them? Were you everyone in the depths of Bronze to be capable of these sort of things?

Like me for instance. This is the first MOBA I've ever played and I've only started playing it last year, so a lot of things that come naturally to most people who have played this for years took me a while to get. Being depressed about low elo players being bad is like being depressed at the fact that most second graders can't graph rational functions.

low elo players will always try to gravitate towards the "op" champions regardless of if they can play them or not because they think it gives them the highest chance to win. (which is false)

I play the most cheese ballest champs because I enjoy their suffering to the hands of first back zz hiem. I climbed out of bronze one to silver 4 till I played the meta and got crushed with multiple bad teams. Just cheese the game. It's usually fun and most bronze never see the cheese wedgy coming.
