I was under the impression that Malicious Metal was the #1 Mordekaiser player in the world.

Looks like I am getting a body pillow of AP0CALYPSE instead.

Well, matchmaking must really be weird if we get matched on NA level 7 Mordekaiser. I feel like a tiny master of evil.

I'm not playing normals that often, usually beat up bots. I do play normals with the crew though, especially bot lane with Face the Sun. It's kinda fun and when queueing with the guys from the club our opponent's all average level 30+

Yes, plat 1, I'm sure he's really up there.

Maybe realize that those charts are complete and utter garbage already?

Or maybe no one plays Mordekaiser and Plat 5 is already the top 9% of the players?

Nope, people still do, just rarely.

A challenger with 10 games on morde is already better, that's all there is to it, the skill difference is simply that big, these charts are just retarded and want to give people a false sense of achievement.

They simply put way too much value on amount of games, when there really is no reason to do that.

But being challenger doesn't mean you pick up any champion any time and do godly on it

Define "godly". For a challenger to surpass a tier below them doesn't take much practice, for a challenger to surpass a plat takes a short familiarization with the champions kit.

Seriously, if you don't believe me open the list for any meta champion, a sane person would expect the list to be dominated by challengers(with hopefully a large presence from korea as well), if a person spams cait in challenger and person spams cait in diamond 1 the challenger is better, period(as they both spam a meta champ hence you'd expect the better one to be in the higher league).

The list however does not look that way, being instead dominated by diamonds and masters, it's clearly completely moronic and doesn't function at all, but people love the sense of accomplishment, no matter how delusional it is, that's what sites like this run on: stupidity.

Stop being a tool, stop looking for places to inflate your ego, either improve or accept your shortcomings, don't fall for convenient lies(Yeah preachy and pretentious I know, but I'm getting tired of people valuing optimism above realism).

Lol...

Definitely, someone who mains a champ in lower elos can know that champ better than challenger players.

People seem to think that Challenger players are just gods at this game. It ain't even close to true. There's even an enormous difference between low Challenger and high Challenger.

The Challenger player might be able to take that champ into a game, once learning the kit, and perform very well and make many great decisions. But, mechanically, they'd be less competent on that champ than a main, and they won't even have full knowledge of power spikes, builds, matchups, etc...

Especially for a champ that's barely played like Mordekaiser...

And it doesn't matter because the challenger knows the game better.

You can't seperate understanding the game in general from understanding the champ, he will still know what to expect from his opponents and understand where to be better, he will be mechanically better.

Especially for a champ that's barely played like Mordekaiser...

What the hell does that have to do with anything? You realize that mordekaiser has an incredibly simple kit right? I'd understand saying "something like azir/lee/bard", I'd say 10 games on morde and they already are better.

These boards just love living in a bubble when they don't actually play against anyone good so they think they themselves are good, you're not.

ApollogyJun 22, 20161 votes

Okay, if you wanna be an asshat, that's your choice.

Nobody cares.

High elo players are not automatically better at a champ than lower elo players. They don't even always necessarily understand the game as well as those in lower elos. Look up some of the LCS coaches, they're sometimes in silver or gold elo, but they're coaching LCS level players. These are professionals who are on a tier above that of any typical challenger player. There are lower elo players who understand the game better than professional level players, but they just don't have the physical ability to get to that level of play themselves. There are people who can for example, track an enemy jungler perfectly while they aren't playing, but while in game, would struggle with it.

Besides that, everyone climbs differently. A one trick in Challenger elo isn't going to pick up any champ and automatically be better than a one trick on that champ in an elo a few divisions lower. It's just now how league of legends works. These higher elo players are not gods, they are not perfect, and they don't know everything about league. There's maybe only a few players that might actually have reached that level in the history of league... but the rest, they're not even close.

That knowledge specific to each champion, to each champion's mechanics... the muscle memory required, the knowledge that becomes intuition and instinct... High elo players don't automatically get better at that. A Riven main in platinum elo might be better than someone who's never played Riven in high elo. Riven is one of those champions with animation cancelling and a truck load of combos. Surely not every single player in high elo would be able to play Riven and in a few games understand how the champion works, when her power spikes are, which items are the best for each situation, and at the same time know all of her animations and how the function and all of her combos and which ones to use in which situations. That just doesn't happen. There's maybe a few people in the high end of high elo who might be able to do that.

High elo players are humans. They make mistakes, just like everyone else. If you've watched the professionals play, you'll see them make mistakes. Even Faker makes mistakes, on a champion he plays all of the time. But that's just life.

"Says someone who get's stomped by fucking plats."

Not that I have any right to be in the ring with them, but when I play games with my high platinum to high diamond friends, I usually do exceptionally well, and sometimes carry those games. Mechanically, I can't perform at that level, but at least I have enough intuition about how the game works and how to read a map, that I can make the right decisions. Although my ability to play league of legends has nothing to do with fact.

The sooner you realize that, the better.

Just because I'm bashing the delusionality of some people doesn't make me an asshat, you want to be in denial go ahead, just keep your lunacy to yourself otherwise people will bash you for it.

High elo players are not automatically better at a champ than lower elo players.

It takes them a few games, can be more than that if the champion is particularly different than what they usually play, so I could see an argument for things like bard, but not morde.

They don't even always necessarily understand the game as well as those in lower elos.

They always do, maybe with some minor exceptions to top lane cheesers, but even that's a rare case.

Look up some of the LCS coaches, they're sometimes in silver or gold elo, but they're coaching LCS level players.

First of all, no, there are some like montecristo but most are a lot better, thing is THEY SPECIFICALLY GO INTO A LOT(LIKE A WHOLE FUCKING LOT) OF EFFORT TO LEARN THE GAME THROUGH THE EYES OF COMPETITIVE PLAYERS. You asshats on the boards DO NOT do that, you don't know jack shit.

These are professionals who are on a tier above that of any typical challenger player. There are lower elo players who understand the game better than professional level players, but they just don't have the physical ability to get to that level of play themselves.

They don't. Their views are heavily constricted by what they see, they can read what competitive players do well, but what competitive players don't do they can't read. This is why when sleeper picks, like say support annie come to play, they don't come out of a coach, they come out of a player. And even that comes with a lot of analysis as they need to create a view on the player then compare his performance with other players and see how these guys generally play things out, it comes from analyzing performance, not so much from understanding the game.

There are people who can for example, track an enemy jungler perfectly while they aren't playing, but while in game, would struggle with it.

That's far from impressive, sure it takes some familiarization with the patterns of prominent junglers, but if you don't need to focus on anything else, that's really not that hard.

Besides that, everyone climbs differently. A one trick in Challenger elo isn't going to pick up any champ and automatically be better than a one trick on that champ in an elo a few divisions lower.

Yes they are. I used to be a one trick myself, getting other champions close to that level took very little effort.

It's just now how league of legends works. These higher elo players are not gods, they are not perfect, and they don't know everything about league. There's maybe only a few players that might actually have reached that level in the history of league... but the rest, they're not even close.

You just keep telling yourself lies to inflate your ego, that's not the case, getting most champ to a decent level of practice takes about 10 games for a good player.

That knowledge specific to each champion, to each champion's mechanics... the muscle memory required, the knowledge that becomes intuition and instinct... High elo players don't automatically get better at that.

High elo players mostly just know the lane/game better, for most of them their skills with any specific champion aren't something spectacular.

A Riven main in platinum elo might be better than someone who's never played Riven in high elo. Riven is one of those champions with animation cancelling and a truck load of combos.

Riven is a moronic abomination with an aritifical skillcap which is the bane of any serious game but we keep it because "it's already there", animation cancels are as bad a mechanic as bad mechanics get, there is nothing interesting here, there is no decision making, there is no positioning, "if you can then you do it", they have no place in league.

Oh, and riven isn't morde.

Surely not every single player in high elo would be able to play Riven and in a few games understand how the champion works, when her power spikes are, which items are the best for each situation, and at the same time know all of her animations and how the function and all of her combos and which ones to use in which situations.

They would, they would just have issues with execution due to the artificial skillcap caused by her animation cancels. Riven is actually a faceroll easy champ in her core, unfortunately we refuse to address a mechanic which has no room in this game simply because it existed for a while.

That just doesn't happen. There's maybe a few people in the high end of high elo who might be able to do that.

Even if you mentioned someone like yasuo or azir, who don't have an aritificial skillcap caused by animation cancels, they are still specific cases with champion with higher mechanical skillcap, which morde isn't.

High elo players are humans. They make mistakes, just like everyone else. If you've watched the professionals play, you'll see them make mistakes. Even Faker makes mistakes, on a champion he plays all of the time. But that's just life.

The difference is in the amount and "quality" of mistakes done, I do stupid shit all the time, it's just no where near the shit you pull, that's the real reason for the massive skill gap between us.

Although my ability to play league of legends has nothing to do with fact.

The sooner you realize that, the better.

I highly suggest you actually see games in diamond/challenger and focus on champions with more reliable kits(annie/lulu/janna/sejuani/warwick/volibear/etc) and take a serious look at those "amazing mechanics" these people have. Because for the most part you'll just see a person doing very obvious things and just not doing as much moronic things as lower elos, "clicking fast" is only valuable if you want to make it valuable by playing things with a high mechanical skillcap like yasuo/ artificially high skillcap like riven, you don't have to do that, and most people don't.

I'd say the same to you(except I'd be right), but as we can clearly see, your delusions clearly don't catch up to you, and I doubt they'll catch up at all...it takes a special kind of "person" to be stuck in bronze and think himself to know anything,.

Even LCS players need time to learn a champ. I have seen Bjergsen struggle with diamonds on his streams when he doesn't know the champion well, and he is the best mid laner in NA.
