ASSISTANCE TO THE LOW ELO PLAYERS! :D

Hey guys, I just wanted to bring up something that I've been thinking about along with the conclusion that I came up with, that would help players in the lower end of the ranking system. It might even help the higher ELO players in certain ways, though it might just be releasing aggression/laughing at some newbies. :P Well, first of all, the option of watching challenger/master tier streams always seems like a wonderful idea... but the problem is that, if I am in bronze/silver... I'm probably not going to soak up a huge portion of what they are actually accomplishing and considering. Not to mention the fact that they are playing against opponents that are nowhere near my level of play, so it actually doesn't necessarily bring me anything. Anyways, the thing that I came up with.. Is for me to create a stream on Twitch that any low ELO players that are trying to become better or trying to move up the ranks can come to and hopefully we can get some gold, platinum, diamond, challenger, or master players that will watch the stream as well and just pinpoint the mistakes so that it is possible to recognize the errors that the low ELO players are making. I'm fine with the idea of being called a noob for making certain plays or anything like that. I just feel like this could help the players that aren't used to the very specific things to look for or the builds that are not benefiting them as much as another.

Anyways, I created the stream and I am very excited and hopeful that it will help a lot of people. It is currently offline (Just finished my first five hour stream), but if you are interested in learning or teaching you can follow the channel and jump in it whenever you are on. I will be considering to work around the best times as well.

Thanks!

When it comes down to it, as someone who's been "stuck" between Platinum II - Diamond V for a solid year now (due to my lack of improvement, obviously - though I do know what I need to improve upon), I couldn't do half of what Doublelift does on a daily basis in terms of decision making and impacting games. There's a MASSIVE skill difference between high platinum and high diamond, even though it doesn't seem it would be that far apart from each other.

To put it in perspective, it was easier to go from Bronze 3 to Plat I in under 2 months than it has been for me to break into Diamond and stay there.

Well apart from personality, the largest reason the top streamers are the highest viewed ones is due to their skill and dedication to the game. If you notice, nearly all of the top streamers are Challenger and Master tier. Your stats show that you do not have much significance in the game and are like millions of other people. Your post shows that you just want free viewers.
