Alright guys, lets be honest, what is honestly bad in bronze? What's the difference between bronze and gold? If you're stuck in gold you're probably most likely get just as frustrated as a bronze and start flaming. Also, on a totally unrelated note, if you see someone RAGING (not flaming, flaming is blaming team) tell the guy he's doing alright for fucks sake, that's his way of saying "I'm bad but admitting it makes people dislike me so Ill pretend to be average." Alright, more to the point, I love bronze because:

  1. I learned how to carry the game
  2. Im pretty much silver 1 in mechanics, and trust me, silver 1 is better then gold 5 (getting into this later)
  3. I've been stuck in bronze for 1 season and a half, this was my smurf which got silver 5 and has degenerated a little: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=phantomduck
  4. One last thing, for everyone who is stuck in silver and can't get out and is happy you're not in bronze, I DESPISE YOU, you are so incompetent to think that just because a system thinks you're better then a bronze you are, I've seen bronze trundles beat gold players (trick2g subwars sometime recently) Those are the reasons I like bronze, now lets talk about some more relevant stuff. First of all, up to plat being a 1 is better then being a 5, because YOU carried those games YOU climbed elo, in a 5 rank (ofc not plat and some golds) you could have been placed there in 2 ways:
  5. (most likely) duo queue
  6. placements Now I could right another couple pages but I want to see if the community replies to this or anything so yeah, thanks for reading, cya in the discussion. item 3159

I spectated a friend of me who is bronze the other day. The thing i learned from that is that mechanics mean nothing if you dont know what to do with them. When i see a mid having 19 farm in 20 min, when everyone always backs after a fight, when nobody knows when or where to group, when the item builds are mediocre, when people literally stand still for periods of time because dont know what to do,... mechanics arent going to matter that much. I come from bronze 5 to gold 4 but i think that my increase in mechanics alone only would have gotten me to bronze 2, all the rest is just gameknowledge like learning to farm, getting proper runes and masteries , learning to adept builds, learning the stages of the game,...

oh almost forgot most important of all, atleast 2 tiers is just learing how to use wards.

Alright guys, lets be honest, what is honestly bad in bronze?

The level of skill.

What's the difference between bronze and gold?

The level of skill AND you get a limited edition skin in gold at the end of the season. Also you get more respected by the community because you're within the top 25% of league players.

If you're stuck in gold you're probably most likely get just as frustrated as a bronze and start flaming.

That happens on EVERY elo. Maybe not as much in "high elos" but it definitely still happens.

Also, on a totally unrelated note, if you see someone RAGING (not flaming, flaming is blaming team) tell the guy he's doing alright for fucks sake, that's his way of saying "I'm bad but admitting it makes people dislike me so Ill pretend to be average."

Literally, what?

Alright, more to the point, I love bronze because:

  1. I learned how to carry the game

You did not. If you knew how to carry games you wouldn't be in bronze anymore.

  1. Im pretty much silver 1 in mechanics, and trust me, silver 1 is better then gold 5 (getting into this later)

You're not. If you mechanics WERE silver 1 you'd BE silver 1 by now. Also gold 5 and silver 1 are EQUALLY skilled. People in gold 5 just happen to have had a little luck for 5 ridiculously important games, and now they're not bad enough to drop out again.

  1. I've been stuck in bronze for 1 season and a half, this was my smurf which got silver 5 and has degenerated a little: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=phantomduck

I have no idea how this is a reason for you to love bronze.

  1. One last thing, for everyone who is stuck in silver and can't get out and is happy you're not in bronze, I DESPISE YOU, you are so incompetent to think that just because a system thinks you're better then a bronze you are, I've seen bronze trundles beat gold players (trick2g subwars sometime recently)

I have even seen bronze player beat platinum players. The problem is just that ONE particular game simply cannot tell you enough about the skilllevel of a person to allow you to precisely judge them. Maybe a Platinum player playing in bronze would lose games. The key is just that he would consistently lose less games than he would win and thus slowly climb his way out of there. The reason for that is simply that he is more skilled than anyone stuck in bronze logically can be.

Those are the reasons I like bronze, now lets talk about some more relevant stuff. First of all, up to plat being a 1 is better then being a 5, because YOU carried those games YOU climbed elo, in a 5 rank (ofc not plat and some golds) you could have been placed there in 2 ways:

What the actual fuck are you talking about? Being in a 5 division is ALWAYS objectively better than being in a 1 division.

  1. You have less pressure because dropping out of a 5 division is hard (read: almost impossible).
  2. You are a whole reward-tier higher in a 5 division than you'd be in a 1 division. Seriously, you do even think about the stuff you write or do you just combine random words and hope they make sense?
