Bronze Player: "URHUR! I BEAT A GOLD PLAYER IN NORMALS, UR TRASH AND I MUST BE FEKER!"
Wait... I'm not sure that's how that works. Lmao. Do people in Bronze think that gold players have like 100% winrates vs them? Like, we're not Challenger, we still lose games. We're still pretty bad at the game just-... less bad. Lmao.
The bronze ego kills me. Lmao. It's almost as bad as Plat except without any of the skill to back it up.
I imagine some of it is ego, some of it is jealousy, and some of it is ignorance.
Ego: Very few bronze players think they are bronze players. When they beat a higher ranked player, specifically Gold because that is likely their end goal in League, it confirms their held belief that they are better than their rank. If you make a mistake in lane or take a bad trade, the bronze player will likely all chat mock you because they are generally incapable of seeing their own mistakes, i.e. they believe they generally play perfectly. This is part of the reason they are bronze and prevents them from getting better at the game.
Jealousy: This one is fairly obvious. They think they deserve a better rank. However, all those other pesky bronze players keep holding them back! You must have gotten lucky to have climbed to gold.
Ignorance: Bronze players are there for a reason. Something regarding their own play is keeping them from climbing. I've met many, many bronze players who are pretty exceptional at their main champion, however they lack nearly all of the fundamentals of the game. To put it simply, they do not know what it takes to win a game. They win and lose games without truly knowing why. They make good plays without knowing why it's a good play, though more often they make bad plays for the same reason.
I realize you were just venting a bit but I thought I'd share my thoughts on a bigger league phenomenon in hopes that anyone who checks this out can discover something that's been holding them back from climbing. Cheers.
Lmao. Lmao. Lmao.
l m a o .
Happens to me all the time in normals where I'm typically practicing champs. I just ignore them.
Its funny when they challenge me to a 1v1 afterwards....
Because for some reason gold/plat players are often the first to pull up rank in a discussion. and act all stuck up about it, kinda like someone who would make a thread after being called noob by a bronze player in normals, lmao.
There's also the fact that people will start questioning why they are being matched against them in the first place. When i had to play against full silver + gold teams as a bronze one player in ranked for example, i found it so retarded. why should i prove being better than gold to show i'm silver 5.
And while you may put all your time in ranked they might just be fucking around in Normals and almost never play ranked. the previous two seasons i just stopped in silver cuz ranked is less fun than normals, and doesn't mean shit unless you're like high diamond/masters/challenger + there's no guarantee that i'll get gold. Lately i have been playing ranked tho, might aswell try to get gold for the skin.
Also why the fuck not? if i'm beating your ass as toplane onhit bard idc if you're trying a new champ or not, i'm just gonna say "EZ" and watch you tilt from then on.
The gold ego kills me, LMAO. IT's as bad as plat except they got less to show for it.
"It's almost as bad as Plat except without any of the skill to back it up."
I had to log in to point out that Platinum is terrible. Platinum players aren't even really better than Silver players from my experience, for the most part. The only difference I've noticed is that the feeding is slightly less aggressive in some of the games. Meaning, people only fight and die 2-4 more times after they lose the first fight and give up the first kill rather than over and over until the game ends. Almost every game is still a landslide and almost half the games players have less than 5 cs/m by 20m. I've come across a lot better Silver players than I have in Platinum, and in general, Silver is a lot less outwardly toxic.
To be honest, gold is enough to not really be performing poorly against a full team of Bronze.
Part of it is ego. Part of it is being a dick (not necessarily in a toxic way, but more of a teasing way). Part of it is...a self-esteem boost, I suppose. I know that if I kick a Gold player's ass, I at least did something right. Sure, I may just have been lucky, but I did better than a supposedly superior opponent.
And the last part? It's a counter to rank-shaming. Nearly every Silver+ player lords their rank over the lower one. We've all seen it. It's extremely obnoxious. So rubbing a victory over a higher ranked player is essentially telling rank-shamers to make like a hermaphrodite and go fuck themselves.
Yes, that bronze tryharding on their main is obviously better than the gold trying an off-role free week champ in normals. They should immediately be promoted to plat 5.
Bronze players don't realize they've won because you were just trying to have fun and training, not tryharding to win. Their lack of game knowledge won't allow them to do so. Most of the times I just laugh at them because it's fun to see their ignorance, but at the same time it's kinda sad how they think they're doing amazing when it's just a illusion, like when I jungled against a Hecarim who jungled without smite and he was persistently trying to make fun of meta and people saying we really don't need smite to jungle... I mean, he won the match 'cause we were trolling and testing new champs and then I went to see his match story. The guy never uses smite and his kdas were pretty terrible most of the time with almost no farm at all. There is a reason that keeps this Hecarim in bronze lol but he can't see it, really, he thinks he's a revolutionary.
Norms is a joke. Hell ranked is a joke. If anyone not gold or higher gave me shit like that I would just hit them with the "you must be excited for that victorious skin this season.... o wait" line.
I don't think a higher rank would make fun of me because meh.... we both know I suck no need to tell me unless they plat 5 then I could see it. But hell... if I was plat 5 I would talk so much shit it wouldn't be funny more or less just to humor myself. Sadly never been plat so I can't say it :(. Or I could but ... it really losses it's meaning. Best is when you fucking around and someone says "I am a diamond smurf" when they getting wrecked in a silver game haha. I have been practicing adc on an alt account and we beat a team the other day and the enemy jungler was pissed and threw out the "well the important thing is I have a diamond 3 acct so I guess this loss doesn't matter". Although...... looking at it now he didn't specify he was a diamond smurf... only that he had a diamond account so maybe just admitting to account buying/boosting? (low silver ranked game).
Isn't the actual calculated ELO difference between Bronze and Plat 5 pretty tiny? It's just a large enough % of the playerbase that the difference is calculated for the sake of differentiation.
Every time i go into normals with my new-player real-life friend who's lvl 16
"OmG a DiAmOnD SiGn An AuToGrApH FoR Me"
dies once
"DiAmOnD MeKaniX N00B BoOsTeD"
like wow gratz a fed akali tapped R on me 3 times and clicked gunblade #outplayed me too hard I should be bronze
I do agree with you, however it's the same vise versa people in higher ranks think they are gods to anyone lower ranked then them
Honestly, ever since I hit gold, I feel like every game I do bad somebody on my team or the other, asks me if I got boosted or if I bought this account. Especially because I play top mid an supp, so I apologize if my one mediocre jungle game means I got boosted

You haven't seen the silver ego.
They think they accomplished something by getting out of bronze.
Usually it's because I like to try champions that I have little to literally no experience on in normals. Or perhaps try off-meta builds like Hybrid Tristana.
"but I would be plat if I weren't matched up with 4 idiots every game"
Think I would have liked this better without all the "lmao".
i think im gold level martarial honestly
to bad i cant get out of silver making me feel like grabage >.>
I don't understand what you're talking about, i still have to find any trace of skill in plat yet. Plat is nothing but bronzetards that stopped picking teemo and int from lv1, usually they wait 10-15 minutes to start inting because their jungler doesn't want to gank them. (not counting the yasuo/riven players that start inting as soon as first blood gets taken by anybody else besides them.) Who knows tho, if plat could actually put all the effort they make into circlejerking themselves into deluding themselves that they're not dogshit elo they could actually get to diamond. But even there they would still be garbage.
i am sad to annonce you that when a bronze player beat you ... in normals or not i mean ... yeah alot of gold player are overrated bronzoid fucks just like you. nothing realated to ego just pure and simple truth you probaly dont belong in gold at all.
