ELO Ego

I'd just like to take a moment to talk about the ego of anyone who's a higher ELO than you.

Yes, I am bronze 3. I don't play ranked. I've barely played any games past my placement matches as I prefer this as a casual game.

However, even silver players will occasionally flame me for being a lower ELO than them. I'm saying this because I recently came across a Teemo who went negative on the enemy team and still flamed calling me the "low ELO Jax" even though I ended the game at 25/7 if I recall. He said he was a diamond smurf, and after the game he did add me on his diamond account just to flame me some more. We reported his smurf account and it got banned, but just because someone doesn't enjoy playing ranked and doesn't care to rank up doesn't mean they should be flamed for being "bronze 3 LOLOLOL I WAS DIAMOND 3 LAST SEASON" (just as another example of the things the Teemo was saying).

Simply ask them the following : "Have you considered the fact that your MMR is such that it matches you with Bronze 3 players?"

I asked an iteration of that question and they said they were queued up with another bronze player on the enemy team, as well as the fact they weren't using their main account in that game it was a smurf.

It doesn't matter if they are. You know how the best thing you can do for someone raging at you in his car is to smile and wave? This is sort of the same thing. Let him rage all he likes. He probably rages at his diamond teammates too.

For the record, I wouldn't have accepted his request from his other account. Who gives a crap if this guy is good at league? He can't even control his own emotions. Just ignore morons.
