Dear Bronze 5 and Diamond 1 players

If you're in B5, and you've never been in D1, do not make comments, saying, "If you were really diamond, you should be able to carry us." If you're in D1, and you've never been in B5, do not make comments, saying, "If you were really diamond, you shouldn't die that much in bronze."

Ranked B5 and D1 are totally different games. The way the game is played is 10- fold different.

In diamond, you play the game knowing you have 4 competent teammates, the fog-of-war hardly exists, kills/deaths are rare, farming is the key to getting an advantage, each match is strategic and calculated, the teams are "meta" and the compositions have synergy as well as taking enemy selections into consideration. It's like NBA basketball. The team that executes better is the winner.

Bronze is more like AND-1 basketball. You have 4 teammates that are going to do whatever they want, vision is poor, kills/deaths can in the 60s+, absolutely no strategy, reckless plays being made, selfish champion selection, ignores enemy team champ selection, no team coordination. The outcome of matches are totally unpredictable.

When you play in diamond, your teammates and you make simultaneous decisions that benefit each other. Certain abilities are on CD until the absolute right moment. Diamond players don't mind letting a champ with 40 health get away because we can farm more.

In bronze, I literally have to stand back for 2 minutes, to tell my teammates what I plan on doing and tell them what I expect them to do before I can take action, if I don't, I die because my teammate and I weren't on the same page. Where you can have an awesome team fight, 3 kills, no deaths, then lose 4 of your teammates to turret blast chasing the 2 survivors.

Another thing that you kinda touched on and i say this when i have never even touched silver #BronzeLife Its first and foremost an objective game, you dont win, unless you take those turrets and ultimately take the nexus

exactly no one is better than any other [player. it "team game" [ pft make me laugh every time I said this]

you get higher to elo player base on team there is 10 peple in a game it not your skill alone so DONT #SH*T talk those who are below you.

it is not 1 VS 1 RANK game where you do need skill to obtain higher elo.

A true diamond player would just literally stomp bronze, going 15-0 by 20 minutes with 150 CS+, and then literally walking around the map like a god. You shouldn't die more than 3 times in a bronze match as a diamond unless you're dicking around trying to inflate your KDA.

Hell I did this in bronze and I was barely plat level at the time.

I carried a bronz 4 game with Zed jungler as 28-5 when I had 350 ping in entire game.

I saw people who dive you at 1 minute. It really happened. They tried to dive me without minions and then I got double kill.

I'm confused why you are making a thread about being in Diamond 1 when you are clearly not in Diamond 1 and have no idea what you are talking about. You have been in Bronze the last 3 seasons and your sheer number of games suggests this is your main account. And although you have a fairly impressive winrate over several champions, you have single-handedly wiped out 3/4 of world hunger with your feeding.
