How to get recruited as a analyzer/coach as a low elo player!

So it's come to my attention that many lower rank players are trying to become analyzers or coaches. First of all let me just admit that rank has little impact on analyzing games. Also there should also be some understanding from lower ranks as to why higher ranked players judge "analyzers" or "coaches" by their rank.

The first problem with analyzers and coaches is their professionalism. Let me give an example of what no one would want to look at and will automatically assume you are a bad analyzer/coach. Let me also give a good example and a bad example.

Bad example: hi im officialaycee im new upcoming analyzer who analyze games for other teams I help a team get to diamond with my analyzing abilities.

Good example: Hi, I'm a new and upcoming analyzer. Here is some reasons why you should consider me as an analyzer for your team. First of all I helped a team get to diamond the team name was "TeamKrypton". Here are some ways I can become a huge benefit as a analyzer on your team.

  1. Point out even the smallest mistakes such as (csing, warding, and harrasing)
  2. I watch countless streams of competitive play to be updated on what needs to be analyzed. (watching LCS, pro players and their habits, and even Korean competitive play)
  3. blah blah blah blah

Yes, what they usually have to say is much longer but can you find the difference between the two examples? The bad example has bad grammar now this doesn't mean you need a harvard level grammar level but at least capitalize the first word of your sentences.... Second what is the reason a team should pick you up as a analyzer/coach? You helped a team to diamond? Oh I helped Obama become the president. The problem with just saying "I helped a team to diamond" shows no work YOU did in order to help that team. To top off the huge problem with lower elo players is that once someone makes a negative comment about their low rank they get super defensive. Let me just remind you about some statistics about how many players are in each rank. Bronze: (27.2%) Silver: (40.9%) There is more than 60% of the LoL population at the lowest two ranks. Lets say just 5% of 60% wants to become analyzers. That's 8 million people you have to compete with. The reason I wanted to point this out is what makes you stand out from the rest? Because apparently 8 million other analyzers helped a team get to diamond

I dunno, I would argue that Elo is important to analysis, at least if you're below Gold. You at least need to know the game basics if you want to analyse it. There's a reason why low Elo commentators (e.g. RivingtonThe3rd in the early days before he improved himself) are absolutely horrible compared to higher Elo commentators (e.g. Jatt). Same goes for analysis, but it's even more important for analysis because at least for commentary you can just be an "action commentator" that commentates what happens instead of analysing it.
