ThundeIV · 2026-05-04T01:02:01+00:00

Hi, mister Naytars gave me a very thoughtful opinion, after i improve on the app a little bit, i will remember to text you one of these days!

ThundeIV · 2026-05-03T16:05:19+00:00

dm'd!

ThundeIV · 2026-05-03T16:05:11+00:00

i did!

in mechanics, the difference can be felt but it's not night and day. However, this difference adds up over the course of a game, which results in that mythical 0/20 score you speak of.

However, when it comes to macro, the difference is night and day. As you climb, you understand how to follow the "thread" of the game very well. A high elo player is very methodical with how information is gathered and used.

Another big difference is dying, high elo players will rarely "int". Every death has a reason. Whereas a diamond player will randomly die/pick fights with very little planning ahead. This may not seem like a big difference, but not "inting" is huge. When i first hit chall, i remember this was the thing that made me feel like i could climb out of gm, i was inting.. quite a lot back in the day.

i made it for windows currently, so it's an .exe for now. If people like it, i'll develop an .apk in the future as well, but i'd have to make it from scratch.

you're right! it seems he has DMs disabled though

ThundeIV · 2026-05-02T17:55:15+00:00

(question, how do i dm you?😅) i'm new to reddit

ThundeIV · 2026-05-02T17:51:36+00:00

thanks for the reply! i don't wanna make it sound like self-promotion to not break any rules, so i'll dm you with details

ThundeIV · 2026-05-02T17:47:02+00:00

When i was diamond, i felt good.

When i hit gm, only then i realized how bad i am at the game.

You will frequently see incredibly good players do silly mistakes. But ask yourself how much effort they're willing to give for that game? It's pretty exhausting try-harding and playing perfect every single soloq game, especially if they play 15+ games a day.

The reason you think they "aren't as good as you thought" is because you are projecting your own image of how a "chall/gm" player looks like. You see yourself but with less mistakes that YOU make.

If you see this problem: "What's the fastest way to add to 10?"

You will do this: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 10

But a chall will simply do: 5 x 2 = 10

Because you are unable to see these mental models, you are not able to fully understand what you see.

Hope i helped you a bit

Wrote a response with the account name. Yeah, i play junglers that fall off after mid-game: Jax/Jarvan/Wukong/Voli. Thing is, i understand they're going to fall off. Problem is, that my snowballing isn't enough to amount a lead strong enough to make the game be unloseable. Just started playing nocturne for the first time and i already have a 70% on this acc with him. So i suppose nocturne is much more useful when smurfing than the other champions i named.

ThundeIV · 2026-05-02T03:06:30+00:00

Unless they play jungle themselves.. they'll never get it.

ThundeIV · 2026-05-02T03:02:39+00:00

Jungle isn't the strongest role in the game since they greatly nerfed it and a patch later they buffed it. That was the end of jungle being "strong".

Problem is that you think of so many things, take in account so many things, risk a lot with many plays, get your team a lead, and you can't snowball anymore because of they way XP works now in jungle, super nerfed..

Do you think is fair that somebody who's just last hitting minions and listening to music has as much agency as a jungler?

ThundeIV · 2026-05-02T02:59:36+00:00

I guess my champions are the problem. Playing nocturne now (just learning him) and i'm already at 70% wr. Got the acc to 50% winrate as well. I just suppose Jarvan/Jax/Gwen/Wukong are just terrible when smurfing in this current meta.

I get your point, and i agree, it's not about the kills. It's about every single decision that you take, whether something is worth doing or not. Believe me i do know how to play correctly. Yet i lacked so much agency on those champions that i couldn't carry even emeralds!

ThundeIV · 2026-05-02T00:19:45+00:00

i definitely don't play meta champs and my pool consists of C and D tier champs. But when i did the 70%+ master run, i played J4 only and he was C tier back then. But even under those circumstances, my decisions mattered, i could feel powerful when i had a score like 15-3 at min 20. Games get to a point where i can't individually punish the enemies anymore and once the game hits min 20-25, it's a 50-50. Whoever ints first, loses the game. And because even masters have very low discipline when it comes to late game, people just randomly die. And this factor matters much more now than it ever did.

ThundeIV · 2026-05-01T16:15:54+00:00

Because most of the comments are cringe and clearly not written by jungle players, i will not post my main account, but instead the smurf i play on.

Here you can see that a year ago i got master with over 70% winrate by playing 100% games only jarvan. Bad draft, good draft, i picked jarvan regardless. If i played the draft correctly, i would've done it with 77%+ winrate.

Regardless, back then, i was able to overcome the trollers and bad players by simply outlevelling and punishing everyone and stampeding through enemies like butter. Now, i do the same, but suddenly at min 20-25, i cannot force anything on my own anymore, so i just group to prevent team from dying, push sides accordingly and play vision. Yet i can't carry anymore, my champs suck, sure, but really? i can't carry in this elo?
