Holy Attitude

Brain Errör 404··2 votes·506 views

Okay, I know you guys hate my posts but this is a kicker.

I'm gold 1 and today I was trying out Fiora vs a diamond 3 Riven. This guy was one of the best Riven's I have ever faced. I've never experienced anything like the cutass I did today. I tipped my hat off to the Riven. I sat under tower trying to farm and got punished for going up to even cs as I'm not an experienced fiora player and played kind of horrible. HOWEVER, the only thing I got from my team was, "Omg, you're trash." "Lol, the Riven player isn't good, you're just awful." then I get the enemy jgler saying "Riven players aren't good, champs brain dead".

Holy shit, wtf is this community? I was here showering that Riven with prasises for the things he did. His reactions were quick af and caught me off guard. It was like a kick in my ass telling me "This is how you play to carry games". I was taking it in and learning a lot from it (mind you, this is just a normal game), my team was just salty af and kept calling me bad and that I don't know how to play safe. I mean I walked up as the riven was walking backwards and out of nowhere, bam He flashes on me with ulti and takes me out. I'm not use to people doing that so I didn't have the reaction time to flash out of it, like how can you call a player bad if they're exhibiting such skills?

For whatever reason, my team starts calling me the Hashinshin of top lane when I said my top lane opponent was just that much better than me, and yeah, ranks don't matter, but you can't call the person in D3 bad when you're still sitting in Silver or even Gold for that matter. If they're so bad, why aren't you where they're at?

Like holy crap people, respect the people that play this game and learn to accept when people are actually good...

People call Diamond and Plat bad all the time and it's just so pathetic. Like. They make up the top 10% of all players in the game and people still try to call them bad. Lol. Hell, if you're out of silver, you're statistically a good player.

Calm down there, Tyler1. People talk about league toxicity, but what they really mean is the hyper-competitive attitude everyone has and anyone below Challenger rank is boosted trash who will never be good at anything, apparently. If you're above Silver, you're statistically a good player. Plat is great players. Diamond holds the amazing players and above that is where you get your LCS superstars.

They still probably beat us silvers though?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive inability of those of low ability to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their ability accurately. Their research also suggests corollaries: high-ability individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others.

The thing is......how many of them actually earned it as opposed to being boosted or getting a free ride through dynamic Q?

You gave the Diamond props for playing a mechanically difficult champ and you got the silvers hot raging mad jealous of your sexy ELO.

What you did wrong was not enjoy the situation you created, you were the man there.

Lol. Go 0-7 in lane and then just spam BM's in mid lane and steal jungle camps. That's the ultimate silver life right there.

I thoroughly enjoyed my match with that Riven. :> But you're right, I might have missed the opportunity to enjoy the whole situation. Definitely have to do that next time.

Riven is annoying and if you don't know how to play against her she easily dumps.

But an actually GOOD Riven is damn difficult to play. I applaud you for recognizing someone good and being a good chap about it! People like you are rare and wonderful.

That being said, I'm very sorry you were stuck with ragers like those people on your team.

Brain Errör 4042 votes

Thank you. :>

It wasn't bad for me. If they were that salty they couldn't enjoy the game, that was their problem. I had tons of fun and got to push myself beyond my limit. I love educational experiences and that was one of them.

I'm glad you have such a great attitude.

I mean, to be honest, I would be pretty sad if I got dumped on by a Riven. (it's honestly hard to remember how hard a champ is when he can stun you knock you up and then shoot something at you to murder you) But then as someone who doesn't play top much and only plays maybe Nasus it's just sad when nearly anyone can just walk up to you in your lane and give you the figurative middle finger as they down half of your health cause you are a pushover in lane.
