To keep the negativity as low as I can I am just gonna be muting everyone at the start. Any other ideas that could help me ignore the toxicity?

I have slightly above average knowledge of the game itself already. Just looking for ways to mitigate the "issues" you know.

If you're B5, you don't know the basics of the game. Doesn't matter how bad mechanically you are, if you have decent knowledge of the game you'd be high silver at least. No, trolls/toxicity won't keep you down, at least, they won't keep you down that low.

When you don't know the game, how can you even judge how much you know about it? Think about it, without perspective it's logically impossible.

Take the dude's advice. Find a mentor. The first step to learning the game is to accept that you don't know as much as you think you do, and that you've wasted your time for 100s of games learning nothing. The next step is to find a way to identify what you're doing wrong. It's really hard to do that if you don't know much about the game, that's why you should seek out advice from someone better than you.

That is the thing you are judging that based on a majority and not the minority. A ranking does not show only knowledge. It has many other contributing factors to it be it something simple as the other player knowing more (which is normal) or simply getting that poor hand dealt with three fifths of your team fighting with themselves over a simple mistake. In a way you are right I will give you that but only to a certain degree.

This can happen a few times, but after around 50 games this ceases to be an excuse. Look, I thought this was the case too when I was Bronze V. In fact, almost all Bronze V players think this when they land up there. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect.

The longer you spend refusing to accept that you might not know as much as you think you do, the more time you'll waste stuck where you are. There are people who literally spend 1000s of games in Bronze V refusing to accept they may not know as much as they think they do, then they get a friend to coach them and they easily get to Gold+ (solo, no duo queuing) after a couple months.

no he(strat) is right though i would argue the flip side also. IF you are mechanically skilled you could also be s5. People in bronze tend to fail at both

Looking at your match history proves this. level 2 boots before item. CDR boots on jungle reki. ) boots Attork with 2 completed items and one other them is GA.......

Sure your winning some games. You are playing against other bronze players. That does not mean you know your stuff.

How bout dont be a god damn pusssy. Its a videogame, with some white kids sitting behind their computers crying... who cares?

The best way to ignore it, is to just not give a god damned shit.

there is nothing you can do and riot doesn't care about it.

That is half true and half common sense XD. Look there are things I can do to prevent the annoyance which I am now trying, and we all know Riots community staff does not care.

there is nothing you can do. that's just wishful thinking.

technosavageJul 10, 20151 votes

only thing you could do is make a 5 and play like that.

I may be a cynic but as a cynic I can tell you that what you are saying is true yet also false. As I stated long before all of this there are things you can do but by 'mitigate' I mean stall for that moment you just get tired of it and leave. Also the way you are posting is as if you are trying to provoke me enough to leave again ^w^ right?
