I have never met a prodigy PLAT just 1000's of hours wasted. Same as everyone else.

I hear a lot of people shitting on Plats for shtting on them. Division shaming and the like. It is weird to think that anyone would get their self worth from the game. Everyone thinks that If a Plat sees you failing they will rage on you. This is pretty much one youngster shitting on another youngster because they haven't wasted as much time as a Plat player. This game is fun but in the end you realize (short of going pro) this game has no real world benefit. I'm not shitting on plats for being plats and above. I am actually telling everyone to take a step back and realize that the skills in this source of entertainment are not transferable.

I have never seen the High Level player that only has 200 games. He might exist, I'm just saying I haven't seen him or her. All I ever see is people with thousands of hours invested in a game. I am also wasting hours on something I enjoy and while I try to win, I am not as invested as others to reach a level of pointlessness as another person. You are either making money playing or you aren't. There are only two divisions.

Don't drink Riot's koolaid but do enjoy yourself.

funny how friggle the the "2 divisions" are...

there's actually a 3rd...

Youtuber. xD

  1. those who play for fun. - just for fun...
  2. youtuber - makes money and/or enjoyment
  3. Pro. - makes money

so a person could perhaps be in bronze, just making funny videos, having thousands of people watch him.. probably makes a little bit but not too much..

you know?

I see a few golds and plats in my bronzie normals.. (I think my normal MMR is higher than my ranked... lol) sometimes they do bad sometimes they poop all over their competition.

my theory is.. that if they're doing bad.. their is either something wrong and they're extremely on tilt. Or they're not trying as hard as they could be.. (Because it's a normal game)

I don't know what friggle means in this context.

Group those that make money together. That was the spirit of my post. You are either making money or you aren't.

I was just saying that if there is a plat he is more than likely heavily time-invested, and perhaps they should not take themselves to seriously. After all they may just put in a shit load of time.

When speaking of skill, thy should watch how they throw the word around.

There are plat with only 200 games or so, they are not common but they definetely exist. Similar to any other activity, talent and natural skill exist and those small/big difference will show, similar to how not everyone can become a professional athlete even if they dedicate ridiculously amount of time due to being too short, or genetically incompatible people can't become pro like players with bad reflexes and poor reaction time.

Also you can make money aside from becoming pro if you have nose for business. You can go for communities, sponsored tournaments, graphic design and many other sub categories coming from playing the game.

I merely said I have never seen one. What is one of their names?

The point of games was to be competitive. Humans enjoy being competitive, which is why sports became popular in the first place. There isn't as much competition in our day to day lives like back then, so we resort to games/sports for our competitive needs. It has nothing to do with any monetary advantages. Not everything in our lives is about money.

I also don't understand the time thing, there are people who have played long before S1 like me and are still Bronze/Silver even after 5 seasons and have thousands of ranked games vs my 40 from season 5. Then there are people who have essentially been platchallenger level since the beginning of ranked. Simply pouring in time into anything doesn't suddenly make you better at it.

You are a case example. You have seen people with 1000 games that are bronze and that are Plat. Have you ever seen a Plat player with 200 games. My point wasn't that the hours guarantied success. It was that success doesn't come without countless hours. There might be people out there that forgot what it was like to be bronze or in your first 100 games. They are a bit of the toxicity problem. Forgetting where you came from thinking you are hot shit because you forgot when you were pure shit.

I was merely saying I don't know any plats with lower than normal games. A true prodigy of the game. I know it is an unfair request cause we don't usually know when they became plat so we don't know if the bulk of their games were played before they made it or not.
