half asleep at 5am in bronze.. a little ramble about nothing, observations about my elo, blahhhhh
16 kill streak, 18/2/11, 6 towers, 2 inhibs, 1 nexus, my jungler was a darius
this is why i don't play ranked
because this happens
and best case scenario I'll literally be against players on my level if i'm good enough, but like..... I'll still have the shitty fucking rank
so why do i play ranked ever? Is it cause it's funny when people try so fucking hard and they cancel 6 autos on you in a row
cause it's infinitely tilting when, and by when I mean a very common occurrence, Your team has all three lanes pushed up, gets an ace, and decides to go to baron with the enemy team down for a minute, but then for some reason all goes to farm allied jungle after (Not counter jungle/enemy jungle, just allied jungle) and then after backing all go their own ways and then die 1 by 1
that's like a third of games, I honestly kinda think baron should even be in the game at this elo, its a giant box held up by a stick, and the players pull the string attached to the stick, and then they get trapped in the box
that's the thing, I can't take bronze seriously, I'm not saying I'm better than all of them, but I can sincerely say that there are some things that i notice are just... so bad... that I can't imagine that if I'm here I should even bother trying
if I have to try in bronze then i don't deserve to climb
this is my hell, it is where I belong
68% winrate, maybe i don't belong here?
but i do, and we all know it
My cs? Trash!
Itemization? Basically rubbish.. I know the builds but like... for some reason i gravitate towards iceborn on literally everyone
Champ roster? Seriously i just play jayce and then graves top, if I get my secondary (Mid) I'll just do whatever, brand? sure! thing is... everyone wants mid in bronze, so like... I can just trade and go back to my little island
I usually lose lane, actually I almost always lose lane, Funny thing, I only win lane against players with higher ranks then me... and i don't know why
Seriously, a week or two ago I stomped a plat after I got camped, That shouldn't happen, my jungler didn't really help, he offered, I told him not to because I'm trash
I always request no ganks, It's bad but, I've been hardwired to not trust my team. I've learned that I just look for the most braindead allied champion and spoonfeed them kills and assists to win the game. Because here in bronze, everyone sucks, but the man with the most braindead champion sucks the least
here in bronze people don't kite, they don't hit skill shots, they try to play to win, but they don't know how to play to win.
Not all of us, funny thing: I know some bronzies who if you look at their charts, their farm, their everything else... they look like a solid gold or plat, but they'll never climb because they just don't like ranked
Then there's dudes like me, Trying to get better... not sure why though. I've seen my best and I honestly liked it, but I don't see what the big difference is if I suck and I play with other people who suck, or if i'm good and I play with others who are good. Here in bronze, AP ezreal bot lane is totally legit, and your jungle can be a ryze, but your top lane being shyvanna gets her reported, actually everything seems to get everyone reported, but its kinda nice because reports seem to mean nothing
here in bronze, someone starts flaming you and then inting, and somehow their kda gets better
ok honestly I like it down here, It's where i run into all the best surprises.
I have 1v1's that seem epic, but honestly they'd probably give you an aneurysm to watch.
People down here are all stoned, on shitty computers, or just don't give a damn enough to learn
and yet the whole community shits on them, shits on me, and I'm like... why?
Maybe it's because we're bad, but despite what most people say, I don't think it's any more or less toxic down here then in higher elo.
I don't think the common issues are really overlooked.
Problems in league boil down to two things, Bad matchups (Champs or players), and bad coordination. Everything else is literally relative skill, so you might think you're amazing in diamond, and I'll admit you're certainly better than me, but you're against other diamond players , and you still face that whole issue of getting matched poorly, or having a team that's just not on the same page as you
bad bronze plays are so abundant i'm not even sure if they're bad in context anymore
yeah, I mean we could have ended like 10 times, but hey, why would I care? It's just bronze right?
I mean if I raise then I'll be the problem on my team, I'll be the guy who causes it, the tilting mid or the snowball on the dude i lane against.. Why in the hell would I want to be the cause of that?
so I play norms, Lots and lots of norms
off meta most of the time, literally just like.... rumble bot lane stuff, I'm on my way to m7 crittlesticks, Just started doing it because i wanted to improve my adc mechanics, but then i fell in love... seriously I can carry a game as crittlesticks but I can't not feed as lucian, wtf
like I can go graves adc and have success, but give me tristana, ashe, vayne or any of the others and BOOM! i go 4/20
I have 200k-ish mastery on garen and I don't think i've ever built a single tank item on him, not even a cleaver
why am I even writing this? not sure, I just wanted to make conversation but I doubt any of you will read it.. tl;Dr, this is like a 5 paragraph rant about nothing so i can fall back asleep.
well I love you all
