Still having problems moving on, because I feel like other figures are indirectly roasting me.

It might seem like I'm complaining again about such issues, but to be honest, it feels like nowadays I can't look at my favorite League YouTubers anymore ever since I got perma-banned.

ALL of them seem to just find so much merit in bashing bronze and boosters and all sorts of other things unpleasant about League. Sadly, I've done just that; I'm still bronze, I've been banned while still in bronze because I got desperate enough to pay for boosting.

But alas, all these vids I see that basically sum up to "Ross Boomsocks and stonewall008 flame the shit out of salty and in-denial bronze players" just makes me feel even worse about myself, making it seem like I'm instantly considered to be one of them just because I'm bronze. Hell, Ross' recent video even involved him catching boosters.

It's like all of my efforts trying to climb, no matter how much simple shit I focus on like mainly playing Wukong only, re-adjusting my runes for a better early game, and shit like that; it seems like it was all just dismissed all because my perma-banned account is still bronze.

It's almost akin to how society really takes in "your result solely matters over your effort". It's like these images of people still bashing me for being bronze like the rest of those "supposed-fuk-nuggets" still lingers.

And the fact that I'm perma-banned means I'm forced to take a break from the game, while I see nothing but these figures I used to watch a lot just flame the shit out of "elo hell doesn't exist stop doing dumb shit".

Honestly, I keep feeling more and more depressed at my inability to not break out of the bronze stigma, and I know I've done something bad with paying for boosting.... But the fact that I hear so much of these people keep saying that bronze players are the scum of the earth and boosters are too makes me feel like I should go to jail and rot for a sin.

And to quote the one guy who said "you could've climbed up to gold elo with just Wukong only, but you played stuff like Renekton, Yasuo and Jax to plummet your winrate", YES I DID STOP PLAYING THOSE CHAMPIONS LATER ON.... Unless that's also a complete lie and they alone for all those games I played them on ages ago (possibly just months ago) were the ONE AND SOLE reason my winrate plummeted. Words like that makes it feel like "oh, you could've done this so well, but you're just a fuk-nugget that breaks promises".

I also feel like I barely have time to have a lot of stuff sink in due to again, a possible learning disability and real life devotions, hence I often complained about things like "god will only allow me to climb if I spend either a million years perfecting unlocked-screen-map-awareness or playing Annie only". And if I spend time to improve, again, I can expect people to say "you're still bronze tho; climb faster and then we'll talk".

And from all of this, it should be apparent in that I care WAY too much about what people think of me. And yes, I get that bronze players' opinions are generally very bad. I just hope the upcoming season will completely reset my perma-banned account's elo..... sigh

Here are the golden rules:

##You might not be good yet

It is in fact very simple to flame a bronze player when you are a diamond player, but I always consider it this way: It is very simple for some people to learn how to play chess, I picked it up in no time and am to this day still pretty decent at it. I however have been playing since season 2 and I have only ever climbed as high as gold. Some people naturally have trouble with climbing or will never climb that much. I will come back at this with my next point.

##You are good at things

This is a truth for everybody, yet forgetting this is often a reason people get depressed/demotivated.

I am Deathgod5 on league and I suck at league of legends. I am also good at problem analysis, I am excellent at math and am often proud of my ability to speak in public.

If you asked me a few years ago what I was good at this answer would have been: "I am deathgod 5 in league and I am good at nothing". Back then, I could also do all those things, I wasn't aware of this yet. In the year that I started to feel better as a person I climbed from bronze 1 to silver 2. Realizing that you are good at things generally improves your skills even in things you are not good at.

This rule might apply more to me then everybody else, but it is still an important rule to mention.

##If people say things like "you're still bronze tho; climb faster and then we'll talk" the following rules apply.

  • Stop talking to him/her and consider them for what they are like the guy in this comic https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/6vq7a4/toxic/ they are only talking you down and don't do anything to help you. fuck people that do this, they are not providing criticism or try to hel you, they are simply hoping to talk you down in order to feel slightly better about themselves.

  • don't listen to them: if one piece of garbage calls you trash, he is a piece of garbage. If 100 pieces of garbage call you trash they are still pieces of garbage. Just because more piece of garbage are being shit doesn't mean it get's more true.

Set clear goals for improvement that are actually improvable:

examples of don'ts: "i want to be silver next season" "I want to reach my promo's today" "I want to achive gold within this month"

For these aren't goals, they are achievements. In order to improve you need to set goals that are measurable and achievable in game(or in life):

examples of do's "I want to reach at least 60 farm at 20 minutes" "I want to learn how to die less against pantheon top" "I want to learn when and how to push so that I can take objectives" "I want to know how and where to ward and how to improve".

These were all my tips, so in tldr: Fuck people that talk down on you, they are not worth listening too. Focus on improvement, not on where you want to improve too. Find your strengths and weaknesses and make sure that you are in a good mood while you play this game.

good luck with climbing,

Deathgod5

I have some advice for you if you just can't get over the fact that your permabanned account will be forever bronze.

Use this upcoming preseasons changes to make a new account and get ready to climb next year!

So you resort to boosting? ok
