You guys do realize skill isn't based off of rank?

I'm tired of hearing Silver V call Bronze I stuff like Bronze Trash you can't even carry. Some people are actually really good at low elos, very few, and extremely rare, but I've seen a couple, and I can tell you now they don't deserve anywhere close to Silver. They deserve much higher.

if you're in bronze you deserve bronze because you didn't carry yourself out

Skill is not based on rank, rank is based on skill.

If they're in silver they deserve to be in silver.

Im currently in high gold and when a diamond player doing their provisionals ends up in one of my games it just shows how much plat players and below dont know about the game. The diamond players make it look like they are playing carelesly and even doing stupid plays but their mechanical skill is simply so good that they keep coming out on top. The plat players look like level 2s playing their first games in comparison.

When I was demoted to silver after my own provisionals I felt like a god for a short while because people are simply that much worse. If you truly belong in a higher divison it will show in every game regardless of how your team is doing.

I'd say Silver II and below there's no distinct difference in skill. First of all, it's USUALLY the Silvers that got to Silver through provisionals (the ones that never had to climb out of Bronze) that mock Bronzies. (Even though it's usually the ones who got Silver through provisionals that are weaker than Bronzies LOL).

For example, if you looked at my champ performance up on Lolskill, it's better than that of most Silvers, lol.

Bronze has the people who do not know how to play and such. Silver has the arrogance.

My rank may say bronze; however, when it comes to knowledge, mechanics, decisions, and situational skills, I am at least low silver (which is not something to brag about at all. LOL).

nope skill is pretty well reflected in your elo.

I thought I was a plat player being held back by feeders, trolls and surrender spammers in gold 1/2. Lost every plat promo I got to.

I now realize, I'm simply too bad to realize what separates a plat player from a gold player. I carried out of silver easily, and that made me realize what separated a gold and a silver. Now I need to know what separates a plat and a gold.

I watch friends play bronze/silver/low gold games. TBH there is no distinction between bronze 1 and gold 5 for me. I think "MAN WHY??!!!" so many times when I see a play that either seals their defeat or throws a huge advantage. There are so many wtf strategy moments I see in bronze-silver. That's not even talking mechanics; the mechanics of some silvers can beat mine, but they don't know what to do with those mechanics. They aren't actually good, they are just good at snowballing in lane. I won a game where my ADC fed 2 kills before 5 minutes, as support, just because I realized how terribad the enemy team was (their ADC was low gold, our bot lane was high gold) and baited them into 1v3s, 2v5s and collapse on them as they ward, dragon, etc. It was incredible how my team went from losing 3-17 to winning the game, simply because we realized how absolutely terrible the enemy team was, and the only reason they were winning was due to snowballing from an early FB.

It depends, if you can't have at least 2.0 in your elo, and carry hard, then you're in the right elo.

I guess my diamond rank prob means im bronze skill level. Elo is all luck based i guess. So is k/da i assume, you have to get lucky to pick off kills. Elo is all RNG. Is this your statement? LOL.

I'm in B4 and I'm a BEAST! lol Silver and bronze are no different.

Bronze = more risky taking Silver = scared to do stuff? scared to go back to bronze LOL.
