Diamond: "Oh, well, I've just got outplayed and overall the enemy played really well. I'll just remember this next time and not do the same mistakes again".
Silver: "OMFG NOOB CHAMPION OP NO COUNTERPLAY GG RITO NERF PLS WTF SO BROKEN LITERALLY 1V5 GG AFK REPORT MY NOOB TEAM NO HELP".
Ionian4 votesIf so, then I think like a silver.
The difference is more like:
Silver - damn I got destroyed by the enemy 
as 
, let's buy 
.
Diamond - damn I got destroyed by the enemy as , let's buy 
.
Rendarkan3 votesSilver - "My 619 ap will help me kill Veigar for sure."
Diamond - "Hmm lets get 
and 
first."

Lmao. Too true.
The only real differences between diamonds and silvers is mentality and game knowledge though, so the op did kind of nail that. Mental toughness is important. If you aren't mentally tough you ain't climbing that ladder, you'll never be willing to learn from your mistakes.
TurquoiseYoshi2 votesNo, not really. Most of the difference is in basic mechanics like CS, movement patterns, getting full use out of items and abilities, etc.
At least, that's the difference between me and Diamond players. I don't know if others are the same.
DogIsGod2 votesI can tell you from experience climbing from Silver to Diamond lol
TurquoiseYoshi2 votesMaybe it's just me, but I've always seen an proportional amount of idiotic Silvers to idiotic Diamonds on the boards.

Yeah, just look at all that skill...
IcyPepper3 votesYou DO realize that Akali had four levels above that Miss Fortune, right? (the link started at that part, so...)
ADCs are squishy, and a four level difference is a lot in terms of stats.
It's what assassins do. Not always great design, tho.
disregardable1 votesOh don't worry, there's a whole montage of ADCs getting no-skill 1 shot.

Oh don't worry, there's a whole montage of ADCs getting no-skill 1 shot.
Dumb ADCs who don't get banshee or GA after their 2-3 core items, and usually can't even get 3-4 items in under 25-30 minutes. and also usually have terrible positioning. Notice how these ADCs are all gold and below 99% of the time.
IcyPepper4 votesI don't know, looking at the vid there's a lot of ADCs who made dumb mistakes, and the maker made some decent plays with their mechanics and had a few close calls and barely managed to escape.
Plus the editing, man. Obviously they put some work into it.
DrCyanide1 votesAnd if the video was made by an ADC main we would see them right clicking someone to death.
Montage videos are rarely where you look for balance. Many of them hide the details (like how many items up the killer is) and just show flashy plays.
Slamurai Jack1 votesI'm sorry to say that there's still a significant amount of the second guy even in diamond. They just complain about different champions. Silver players go "Didn't ban Yasuo GG." Diamond players go "Didn't ban Kindred GG."
