Title. I just played an entire match with a teammate trash talking me cause I was bronze. I look at his profile after the match and he was hardly silver. If you're not even gold, do not act like you are diamond compared to a bronze player. Silver is one level above bronze and even if you are diamond rank, it does not give you the right to look down on everyone else.
I had a diamond friend tell me "Don't let them phase you, it's just a stupid border. People are not good until they hit high gold and plat, that's when the shit gets real."
So we referred to the ranking system as this..
Bronze. Sandblasted Bronze (Silver) Polished Bronze (Gold) Plat Diamond Master
you get the idea.
Even though I am bronze I have beaten many Silver and Gold players and got beaten by everyone in each division alike. Like my friend said "It's just a stupid border"
This.
I remember when I was in Silver and I saw people trash talk eachother over 1 division.
And I was all like
Don't try to pull rank anyway. Maybe you know more about the game and you can help people out, but simply saying "I'm gold, scrub shut up" makes no sense at all.
Pet Peeves -New Players that think they found a new "never seen before" build/playstyle on X champ. "zomg no one ever thought of AP Aatrox! I've only played dis game for 6 months but I'm s0o0o0o innovative". Everything has been tried. -Bronze players who ask me "How do I get to Gold, or better... Diamond?!" I link them probuilds.net show them Adrian's latest Soraka build "Yeah that looks bad, I prefer going 6 warmogs, who is Adrian?" -Silver players "Why do you build 4 ludens on Soraka, that isn't good" Answer? Because I like being Diamond. Build meta hit Diamond and come face me in the bot lane.
Don't be that player. Just hit up probuilds and champion.gg accept that you should follow the meta
Whats funny is i just had a game last night that the top laner was ACTUALLY diamond V, while the rest of us were silvers or unranked pretty much. The enemy team had a bronze and gold-plat-diamond type rankings.... needless to say, the game didnt go well..... i was first time volibear support.... vs vayne and janna..... needless to say, nobody did well that game lol.
The diamond V was just RAGING at the jungler because (even though they are first time Poppy).... they kept pushing lane and beating on the Garen (who was the bronze on their team) and kept getting ganked. Their response was to blame the ally jungler for never ganking. We told them to stop pushing so hard and they will get ganked less. They proceeded to say "im not going to be playing it safe vs this (other word people use for bad) Garen"..... and continued to rage about the jungler not ganking while they proceeded to continue pushing lane.
Sometimes you just have to wonder what is going on sometimes lol
I got your back dude, i think you are good. cuz u at least not trying to get boosting which is honorable.
And you trying to get better not titling others, hope your rank get better.
Bronze = Bronze Silver = Bronze with an ego
Not much better in medium elo. My main account is in diamond 5, and I see a lot of diamond 5's dissing Plat 1's as if they're so much better.
The proper way to handle this scenario, is Offer the person advice, see if they accept, If they accept great. If they refuse, call them a boosted bronze.
Exactly. This.
Do you have any idea how many diamond smurfs there are in bronze? Pull rank on them when you're in silver? Ha !
that guy was shiny bronze
Alright ladies & gents, you all need to realize that Bronze, Silver, Gold, players are in the same ball park, since we cannot control matchmaking.
-If matchmaking was perfect the Bronze player would be trolls & whining kids who fret about anything & especially the kids under the age of 17. ( yes I have a troll account)
We all have to admit wtf we are doing wrong & such, but kids under 17 won't have commen sense to think before they act.
Here are the 4 Types of players: -Passive. Too careful, which can make us more vulnerable to ganks & losing Hp too quickly. -Lenient. Smart plays which excels well, but with small errors in between which can have an whiplash effect. -Balanced. -Aggressive basically goes in alone with no HP/MP, or goes too far up in lanes.
So Play styles & Team Comp can easily go backwards & than your left with the lost which should've been a win. I will give you all several examples
Say for Bot Lane on 1 side we have 
facing 
If is the aggressive player he/she most likely gets caught out by an lenient while plays passive most of the time, so if this happens must turn to being Lenient as well & than go in front of his hooks, which than must revert to pasive to avoid getting shen, but if the keeps being too aggressive is going to pile up the cheddar.
Another Example.
& 
vs 
& 
, this match up is already one sided just by the range & poking they got. To make matters worse we were both playing passive, which is automatic lose of lane, while the was lenient & the was aggressive.
Can this apply to Gold too? Silver 4 yet I get viciously rank bashed by Gold 5's.
Don't pull rank period. It'll be more embarassing when you fail.
I just had a feeding kha and 3 bots (They all went mid/me and kha in side lanes) in my intermediate bot game, claiming he was a "plat in tr" or whatever it was. He kept going everywhere, which led to us losing towers cause I had to keep moving around to defend instead of pushing my lane :(
And before you ask, no he didn't have smite. only heal and ghost.
The thing that puzzled me was that he claimed his team sucked but he wanted to 1v1 me in ARAM since apparently 1v1ing someone "bad" will prove he is plat... He dc'd probably to do this thing while I had to go through all three lanes as Viktor to take the inhibs out so the bots and I could win lol
Wut.
You're not good until you hit high diamond. I don't give the slightest shit what anyone under that says.
And honestly, the only players who are GOOD good are the very high elo Koreans. I know people hate hearing that shit because everyone says it, but it's true.
Also, even the best players in the world still make mistakes. That's what makes them human. Humans fuck up all the time. So even if you're fuckin' number 1 in Korea, just shut the fuck up and play. You're married to the game at that point, anyway.
...In short, just tell them to shove it the next time anyone gives you shit. Bronze 5, number 1 in the world, you have no right to be a dick. (not YOU you, by the way...you know what I fucking mean)
Well, at least he got out of bronze
PSA: Don't try to pull rank on a bronze player, its just disrespectful.
