Platinum vs silver games

I just discovered there was a good number of plat/diamond players that were happy to provide advice to bronze/silver/gold players in exchange for stomping them hard in custom games ("platinum vs silver"). One such player spent no less than 15 minutes after a game telling me tips about jungling routes, priorities, things to consider before ganking, builds, etc. Another one helped me so much w my bot lane positioning that I was recently able to stomp a 1v2 lane in ranked (ok silver v, but I really did outplay myself like never be4 and made barely any mistakes that game).

Either those ppl need to be recognized for what they do or some1 needs to make their names known because i believe helping others like they do is Nobel prize-worthy.

My goal is to hit gold during s4 and if this happens, ill owe much of my progress to what those guys showed me.

Riot pls buff?

<3 I'm one of those players... If anyone wants to join or get involved in these games you can join the chat room "Platinum vs Silver". If it's full, feel free to go to custom games and just search Platinum vs Silver :P Sure there are some troll players.. Like always, but I've been doing this since April when I was Gold V. All I know is there are twice as many helpful players here than there are toxic... Hope to see you guys there<3

I wish there was a system in place to get these guys an icon or something akin to the old forum badges. The forum badges are probably more appropriate.

Most high elo players like explaining things. A lot of play becomes instinct, and it's good for them to remind themselves why they play the way they do methinks. Also showing off is fun.
