"It's JUST Bronze, who cares?"
"It's JUST Bronze, who cares?"
Was said to me, in champ select by an Jungle Ahri, when questioned why they would pick that champ to jungle, and then went 5-13 , the player did the same the next game but was thankfully on the other team.
So let me answer.
While I am by far NOT the best player, I usually can win my lane, gank well, support correctly, ward all over and most games I do not have a bad score. Yet because of people like that Ahri, and many many others, you simply cannot climb out of Bronze.
I actually quit for the entire season, last season. Before that I had been placed in Silver 5 my first season, got knocked down...then each other time, my prelims would go badly and I started in B5 or B4 each time. I got up to B3 only to be knocked down again and again, just in one season, by the mis play or plain idiocy of my teammates.
This season my prelims were 2-8 and I had 1 bad game, the rest of the time I did fairly well, at least to earn B , A, or S on my champs. But when your teammates earn D's or F's.....its kind of hard to win.
So back to the answer.....I CARE, and many others CARE, we are trying our best to get out of Bronze 5 or what have you. We watch LCS to see what the pro's do, we read boards like this to get ideas , we learn our champs before going to ranked so we don't play badly on them, we read guides on what to build, what masteries and runes work best.
But no one person can do this when two or more of your teammates are going 2-13 or in one case 5-20, not doing their jobs.....IE warding, Pinging, or actually getting support or tank Items on the appropriate champion.
So please, myself and many others beg of you....if you DON'T care....DON'T play Ranked....go play normal and do AP YI, or Tryndamere, or Jungle Ahri...or mid Nasus....do your thing....but please, please, stop messing it up for those of us who are trying to get better and move up.
I know im going to get flamed, i know people are going to QQ get better NOOOB......but as the saying goes, It's hard to soar with eagles, when your surrounded by turkeys. 90% of the LoL game players are Bronze or Silver ranked. It effects a lot of people, when others just do not care.
TLDR stop playing ranked if your going to be an ass.
Thanks!
who gave up first blood to our mid lane in the first wave and kept feeding the rest of our team (not on purpose, but wasn't skilled with that champ). Bad games happen, but people should fully familiarize themselves with the champs and roles they want to rank with in norms before going ranked.
