OMG! You're level 234! It's your fault that I feed and suck in general!

Yes, somehow, that's the logic I'm encountering more and more lately...

And I'm starting to think that uncapping levels wasn't a great idea because it's just giving toxic people something else, as if they needed more, to fixate on when they want to deflect blame rather than look at their own bad gameplay and attitude and asking themselves how they could do better after they fail at everything against the much stronger opponent that Riot's "matchmaking" decided to give them.

And if it's support or AD who's having these problems because they're in way over their head, everything becomes the fault of their level 234 lane partner for failing to perform miracles I guess? When opponents actually control the lane, dodge skillshots, and use their abilities successfully because they... actually do the basics? I must be really bad if I'm LEVEL 234 OMG WTF but can't always stop other people from getting hit by everything and wandering straight into certain death repeatedly when they make no attempt to protect themselves? And then at the end of the game "HURRR DURR UR LEVEL 234 AND UR STILL SILVER OMG U SUKKKK". Well, yeah, that'll happen when you've only ever had one account because you're not a toxic douchebag who gets banned periodically and you don't do a lot of ranked games. The level 234 part anyway. The part where you go 1/13/2 because you faced opponents who were a lot better than you and you just kept doing the same things you always do, however, my level's got nothing to do with that. So why is it becoming a discussion topic so often recently?

Just put me at level 30 again please and take away all my mastery because I'm tired of scrublords getting distracted by them and using both as excuses to deflect blame. Not that they wouldn't find something else to fixate on. I'm just starting to find this one particularly baffling and increasingly common.

Dude this isn't some sort of new logic. This is the absolute most basic, low-effort internet troll logic repeated the billionth time. It's been repeated so many times because no matter how often it's used or how blatantly obvious it is, 99% of people will fall for this zero effort bait to this day.

Step 1, find something about the person you want to piss off (preferably something out of their control) to pick at. Race, gender, nationality, weight, occupation, appearance, etc. In the gaming realm KDA, rank, in your case level, main, mistake, etc.

Step 2, essentially say "haha ur bad/stupid/inferior because X".

In the broader terms of the internet there are a million things to pick at. Just pick one and give them the good old "haha ur bad/stupid/inferior because X".

Just keep picking at that one point while ignoring any rebuttal.

"haha ur bad because X!" "Hey! X doesnt make me bad! "Yes it does. Haha ur bad because X!" "How does X make me bad? "haha ur bad because X!" "What proof do you have that X makes me bad?" "haha ur bad because X!" "yOuR aN iDiOt!!!! I aLrEaDy SaId wHy X dOeSn'T mAkE mE bAd!!!!!" "haha ur bad because X!" "OMG YOU'RE A MORON!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE THIS STUPID REEEEE!!!!" "haha ur bad because X!"

Just keep going and you will succeed in pissing 99% of people off while expending practically zero effort or thought.

It's 2019 people. The internet has been around for a bit now. Gotta stop feeding the absolute most basic of trolls

I'm more pissed off about the level30 diamond smurfs everywhere. You get matched against a smurf cuzz matchmaking decided you should lose. So you die. A lot. And then the level30 smurf on your team is the raging asshole wishing death on your family cuzz you are 0/3.... and it doesn't matter one bit because they buy a new account when their elo goes up.

Or even worse the smurf on your team has no money to buy a new account and your game is the one he ints to stay in the elo while the smurf on enemy team rolls you.

Every 2nd game in silver/gold has plats and diamonds playing them... fine you're the better no life asshole. We get it fuck off.

Some people are like that. Especially in silver. You guys dont know better. Now i wouldn't go as far belittle you but if you cant cimb out of silver at lvl 234 then theres a problem. You clearly enjoy the game but you're not improving... simply put it. Don't play rank. Rank is for continual improvement and the player your match against is a reflection of your skill gain. If youre not actively trying to be better. Then play norms and dont hinder your team.
