Gold Elo Toxicity

Flow Its Jason·6/3/2017, 2:52:32 AM·2 votes·1,138 views

Hi I am Flow Its Jason and I have come here to complain about the Gold 5 - 4 Elo. have gotten banned recently because of toxicity, and quite frankly ever since I have gotten into Gold I have been more toxic. When I was Silver 1, I grinded so much to get to Gold 5 and when I got there I wasn't as happy I expected myself to be but I was very disappointed. My opinion is that Gold 5 is the worst Elo to be in because the players in the league are a whole different skill level than they should be while in Gold 5. I scrolled in my League for Gold 5 and I saw that more than 30 people were Gold 5 - 0 LP. This is ridiculous because this is only my League and people are stuck in here when they don't belong in Gold but some should be at most Silver 3. I went to a 55% all around win-rate down to a 52%. I went to a 58% win-rate on my main, Miss Fortune, down to a 52% and my KDA also dropped while at it. And with the toxicity, I get mad and have such a short tolerance to mess ups in games because like I said, I get matched with people that shouldn't be in Gold 5. I always wondered why lolTyler1 was so toxic because Silver was alright and you don't get teammates that are below decent and they're at least at your skill level, but I have also gotten way more toxic. When I adc, there is only rare occurrences that I get a decent support. And also I noticed that there is always a feeding lane in every game. I am quite sure I have only played in 2 or 3 games where it was a close, fun game because everyone had a challenge in lane and they didn't feed. Whoever was the losing team, they still had fun because it was a general challenge. This is the way League of Legends should be, not 3 or 4 teammates that are equally skilled and 1 or 2 that got luckily placed in Gold 5 and stuck. Please fix this Elo Riot. Do it for the future players so that you can prevent their ban and they can have fun in the game. I love you Rito, Flow Its Jason.

P.S: Please let loltyler1 play league again. He is reformed and he has made mistakes in the past and to be quite honest, it's kind of your fault for messing up the Elo. Even though he may or may not have encouraged people to feed, they still made their choice, and Tyler regrets doing so. Please unban him, it doesn't even have to be for Tyler, but for his fan base AKA most of the League Community.

You think gold 5 is bad? Honestly gold is probably the least toxic elo.

You should see diamond 5. The same problems you listed but 100x times worse

I'd say unban Tyler1 regardless. Sure I'll get downvotes, but hey, he did reform in-game (as in, now he is less chat-toxic. and even uses thank you instead of feeding cause of KS; still loud ragey voice though).

Since when is Tyler1's fan base most of the community? I don't think most of the community knows who he is do they?

Lets look at reality. The average elo in NA is Silver. So if you are in any elo above, you're considered better than average. Which of course leads you to think "Hey look at me, I'm better than you cause i'm in gold" mentality. Honestly, I hate to say this, but there's really nothing you can do. The league community is extremely toxic when someone is off their game, or you make a bad play. Shit, recently, I've been a bit curious as to why my past consecutive games have been my mid laner dying literally 2mins in. but I can't do anything about that. You just gotta learn to carry yourself, and play champs that can do so if you wanna get out. But be mindful that toxicity exist everywhere in this community, there is no "sacred elo".

Every -5 division that isn't bronze (I'm pretty sure bronze is all the way toxic) which means S5, G5, P5, D5 is toxic as hell. Especially G5 and D5. Why? It takes a lot more to demote from these. People in G5 could have an S3 mmr and yet not demote. Their team flames them, which result in them being tilted because they fucking suck (let's be honest for a minute).

Don't worry. Mid gold is known to be the least toxic elo. I've been there for quite a while before starting to rank more. It's honestly a really fun elo, if you have the chance to get there. Your teammates are usually are caring, forgiving. They don't blame you. It's a living paradise for LoL. My teammates would die repetitively, no one would get mad at them (as long as they weren't inting).

Please bump this convo because it is mainly about the Gold 5 - 4 Elo.
