basically.. all the people in bronze/silver/gold wondering why they are that elo and want some secret tip but there isn't. If you are in those elo's,hell even in platinum you still aren't very good at the basics even. All you have to do to get diamond is be above average at the basics. To get plat you just have to understand the basics no as much be able to do them.

its funny because I'm down-voted yet I'm Bronze I so its not like I can really be taken seriously for this troll thread.

THE HURT FEELINGS ARE STRONG WITH THIS COMMUNITY

oh yeah get use to that, a majority of players are angry teenagers that just believe whatever sounds the best to them regardless of fact ect. You basically just have to laugh at it. Didn't look up what rank you were since it really doens't matter with boards profiles but thats pretty funny actually.

i got to plat this season and op.gg is telling me im in the top 10% of my server. so that means 90% of the players dont know the basics? those must be some really hard basics

Pretty much. Its not even that hard, this game is just really anti-learning. Last season i was stuck in low silver for hundreds of games before i finally decided to do a couple hours of research. I hit gold the next week and plat the next month. And even low diamond is just "people usually know most of the basics"

There are tricks that expediate the process, but at the end of the day your rank comes from how much you can do to control a game

and the dedication to play all those rank games to reach there

getting out of bronze isn't about getting good.

It's about not being hilariously bad.

That's y you should always pick Mundo and spam Cleavers

Because somehow the ADC always gets hit

I literally gust went on like an 8 game win streak in Silver 3 with half of them being as Mundo and I must say in every game I had dealt more damge the ADC with not even hybrid pen runes and I went 4/26/0 with full tank

In b4 someone links that thread about a diamond in the silver elo

YatsufusåNov 7, 20152 votes

I read half of that before closing it. What was it about?

basically no one knows how to play the game until they reach (gold? platinum? diamond?), simply because

People there wont be able to get a good team composition, games can be lost in the champ select (idk how to do that)

Those who knows how to cs properly are OverPowered (i'm trying to do that)

And another factor is that people there wont make it easier for the player with most knowledge to carry the game because they'll eventually make a lot of mistakes costing the game (idk how to do that either)

yeah finally someone supports the fact that silver is by far the worst elo to be in. Once your in silver all the gremlins and cave dwellers come out and smash their heads into their keyboard saying they know how to play. I made it all the way to silver 1 doing exceptionally well with high win rates and kda's and now ive been demoted all the way to silver 4 because ive never played with more toxic and unconsistent players in my life. If you make it out of bronze good job, but dont hope to make it out of silver too soon.

i started in s4 then i played some games and ended up in s5 (i'm currently with 0 LP)

YatsufusåNov 8, 20152 votes

Don't lose too many matches at 0 LP man. You'll become a Bronzie like me if you do

kaltenashesNov 8, 20152 votes

thats why i stopped playing ranked

darkmatchwaldoNov 8, 20153 votes

got placed s3, slid to s5 with like 30LP....i think i'm just gonna stop here for the season*[zombie-brand-facepalm]*

RUNAAANS HYDRAANov 8, 20152 votes

placed s3, now s4 with 1LP. I don't think the 10 placement matches are a large enough number to really determine where you belong. I know that wherever you have 49-51% win rate is where you actually are at, but I'll just take my 34% win rate and snag a silver border for next season thank you very much! lol

YatsufusåNov 8, 20151 votes

I was silver iv for the majority of last season then ended with silver V at 100 LP (I fell in rank and then never bothered trying to win those promos before the season ended)

So yeah ik how silver is. I don't like either elos, but i'm here for a reason.

Edit: Why are people down-voting the replies I make about me being in an elo for a reason? I climbed from IV to I in bronze easily, but I can't get out of Bronze I because I'm just not good enough yet to progress. Its pretty simple.

keep telling yourself that.

Then you are plat 5, "WOW I MADE IT. finally time to play with some good players!"

ADC caitlyn dies twice before 5 minutes. Caitlyn :"gg ff 20"

bot lane is 0/9 at 10 minutes.

top lane is 0/4 at 10 minutes.

jungle is 0/3 at 10 minutes.

apparently tilt is contagious. and apparently people in plat still don't understand how to cut their losses and make it through a lost lane without unravelling the entire match.

how the fk do these people even make it to plat? oh ya, because plat is still BAD
