Two types of high elo players
As the title suggests, there are two types of high elo players.
-
The ones that want to improve These players are most people in challenger. They got there because they were diamond and wanted to improve and hit challenger because they knew there was still stuff they could improve on. Not much to say here.

God complex These people are low diamond and they think they're better than everyone else that's at THE SAME RANK AS THEM. These people piss me off because whenever I'm matched against one, they say stuff like "i can carry just don't feed" and then they proceed to feed. I was friends with one of these guys for a couple months and he always said shit in chat but I kind of just ignored it because ego. He's diamond 5 and he said he "saw potential in me". He said he normally wouldn't play with a gold player, but we played flex together. he regularly said shit like "diamond jg, i can carry" and other things like that, and if someone fed he would say "hardstuck gold" or "hardstuck plat" even though he has a 40 something % winrate in diamond 5. He's also gone afk multiple times before when I've played with him. Anyways, today, I played a flex game with him, and I had a bad game and tried to call a surrender vote. All the sudden, he got hella triggered at me and said "you're hardstuck gold stfu" and "idk why I even play with you, you suck" and shit like that. And then he asked to duo with someone else on our team. So I unfriended him after the game.
If you're one of these people, just know that you still have a long ways to go before you're "better than everyone else". If you think you have nothing left to improve on, then you first need to improve your attitude. Being cocky like that is going to hold you back because you will blame your team for everything and you won't be able to improve.
