Am I just unlucky or...

Am I just unlucky or are all Platinum players unbearably...well I can't finish that sentence or people will flip shit at me.

But it seems that almost every Plat player I run into that is vocal in any way is just totally unbearable. They think they're the best thing to grace the Earth. They're rude, they're obnoxious, insert more annoying things there.

Am I just really unlucky with my run ins? Or is it a universal rule that once you reach Plat League you're obliged by blood oath to become an insufferable human being until you reach Diamond?

No I'm genuinely curious I'm not QQing about it, I wanna know if I've walked under an unusually large number of ladders in my lifetime.

Your just saying that too make yourself look better xD.m Two wrongs don't make a right and wether wut you said or not is true, your self incriminating.

what are you talking about? are you assuming im being toxic? or are you saying there is a problem with making a new acc, which there shouldnt be a problem with that.

Highly sounded like you were suggested others are toxic. Nothing wrong with smurfs. Just sounded self incriminating

Well they are. Pre-30 is where all the banned players end up so yes it is one very very scary place. I recently made a new account to play some games with my friends starting league and what he said is right.

Eh, for all ik your a plat 2. Just making it up so you look better. But I agree, lv 30- is gonna usually be saltier bcuz they don't understand. But Plats, Golds, Diamaonds, etc. can be just as- if not more- salty and toxic. Half the pre 30 players don't know how to chat, don't care, or don't pay attetnion to how good other players play. But down to this point its just personal opinion.

As a Plat level player myself. I think the reasoning behind this is that, we're better than the general population if you're a true blue plat player(not boosted or anything). However you lack the true difficult mechanics to reach Diamond. Thus the only real way we can attain Diamond is via; Winning streaks with lucky teams, or giving up our social lives and playing League until we grasp the difficult mechanics.

Plat players are usually players that KNOW what to do, so they can tell you what to do, but put in the same situation we couldn't execute the move perfectly either(even though in our heads we would like to believe we can). Players in Gold and Silver, lack a lot of simple things like when to use your cooldowns, positioning, basic mechanics, etc etc....however Plat Player tend to have the basic mechanics down, and it's hard to grasp the idea of anyone in Plat division to not know these things at this level(when to split push, when to group, when to ult, and not to clump against a malphite Ori Yasuo amumu team).

So an example would be someone is running away with a small amount of health and you're just like "JINX ULT ACROSS THE MAP AND HIT HIM" you expect the player to be a Plat Tier, or high level player to make that shot, but we probably wouldn't make it ourselves.

In addition we fail to understand that just how we expect to be carried to Diamond without getting the proper mechanics, many people are boosted to Plat(because it's the one tier when you actually become good) and a lot of people are carried to Plat. When we run into these players who quite obviously don't belong here. It can be incredibly frustrating. Especially when they bring the low elo toxicity with them(difference of high elo toxicity and low elo toxicity is high elo toxicity is just yelling but they still try and want to win the game, low elo toxicity sabotages their own game, you cannot mute them they will ruin the game) ** TL DR; Plat players have the knowledge of the game but lack the hard mechanics to be Diamond, they know majority of their games will rely on their team so they focus on what their teammates SHOULD know to do by now. If their teammates don't, they simply do not have the mechanical advantage to single handedly carry games like most True Blue Plat players could in Gold and Below. Just being as real as possible with you since you're looking for an answer**

By reading this i can confirm something you forgot to honorably mention those who are trying aka Bronze and the Unranked.

Why you ask cuase in your eyes we are the garbage of the community, Hell you high elo players are supporting the ragers who are trying to perma banned us by spamming false reports,spreading things and yes you know the rest...

Thanks for nothing....

Firstly, I was an Unranked and Bronze player too you know. For a long time actually. Bronze and Unranked are simply new to the game. I have no idea why people even rage at that ELO. It makes zero sense. Silver is a toxic cesspool. Everyone knows that. Many Bronze and Unranked players are trying to learn. However I have some friends IRL who are Bronze and Unranked and it's kind of weird but they just can't get out, why? They think they can re-create the meta and the game all on their own. They REFUSE advice and don't actually want to learn. They want to be the next Einstein. However in order to do that, you must understand what everyone else already knows first.

I have no shame in admitting everything that I have learned in League is due to pro players who have taught me. Without reading the knowledge of people who are better than me at this game I would still be low elo myself.

I don't think of anyone as Garbage of the community purely based off Rank, there is no elitism here.

This dose not make any sense, it means you are laughing at me making me look bad so go ahead is what you high elo almighty players do anyways..

Just more evidence for me.

He's not laughing at you. He's making a light hearted statment thatmyou don't have to hang on to all anger from before and could make a fresh start

Still doesn't explain why such a large subset are outright...I'm just gonna say it, assholes. And I mean even MORE so than lower ELO players. Nor does being Plat justify it in any way, regardless of how much you may try (And I won't deny, you've done a good job).

lolptwo1 votes

I have played in all Leagues, Diamond 3 and below have still have accounts on different levels, and personally I find Silver by far the worst of the toxic community. Gold Next, followed by Plat. Bronze is surprisingly tame. That's just my opinion, however I explained it as best as I could.

MrWasjig1 votes

We've clearly been playing with very different people.

Interesting actually how you're playing EUW and i'm NA, think that has anything to do with it?

If the games I've played this evening are anything to go by, I'm surprised I'm not a misanthrope by this point. Nothing but the absolute worst kinds of people I've been stuck with today.

You struggle in plat because you're not good enough to be diamond.

MrWasjig1 votes

I'm not even in Plat. Soooo...yeah might wanna come back later when you've stopped making a fool of yourself [zombie-brand-facepalm]

you just revealed yourself as a humiliator and a rager.

Im gonna make sure people keep a eye on you bastard......

Let's just say there's a reason the ranked promo helper system stops at Gold 1... Gotta separate God's gifts to the league community from all the baddies like you... ... .. ........(and me)Amumu

It's because once people get to plat they think they can go LCS and their egos begin to inflate like balloons until they pop and fall back too bronze 6.

Steelflame1 votes

It is one of the subset groups in Plat, sadly. One reason I hated playing ranked once I hit plat. Generally you see it around plat 2 or so, and they think they SHOULD be Diamond, but are not because "all this trash holding me down" and try to fix it with their own.... personal flair. I mean, I suppose a-hole is a flair isn't it?
