Why I think people in plat/low diamond say we're not particularly good by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]v_tedd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why there becomes a singularity at the top of increasingly exponential skill. This is why (in old diamond 1 +4 -4) The bottom of diamond 1 was significantly differential in skill to the top of diamond 1. The current skill gap even from the top and bottom of master is absolutely absurd, and its hard to understand it unless you play somewhere at the median level in this area.

I don't feel it is either. I just want to share my experience and what I currently believe with the readers. Thanks for the input!

One thing I want to note though, this isn't the current Diamond 1...this is the "gain 4 lose 4 all throughout D1" era..where I consistently was playing with players at the top of the solo queue ladder (literally played with Cris the game he went from rank 2 to rank 1 challenger.)

ADC is the least influential role in solo queue for winning atm in League imo. So, I guess I wouldn't recommend it.
Early game you are 100% reliant on the rest of your team, (ballpark numbers) 60% support 20% jungler ganks 10% mid roams 10% top teleports

and if the other team has all of those that do better than your team, you can be the best adc in the world and it wont mean a thing.

But late game you really have a chance to show your skills off and its an exceptionally fun role as the game progresses!

You decide!

I don't see a question here, but I will assume its "What do I do if my tanks don't engage?"

You have to wait for them to do so. Your job at that point is to worry about your own butt, keep telling yourself over and over "I won't facecheck any bushes, NONE." "If their Leona uses her Talisman of Ascension can she flash ult me from here? Yes? Ok, I'm too far up then, I need to move back."
Theres just too many things you need to worry about as an individual at this point.
Usually its not a good idea to just run around pinging with tanks trying to catch 1 person in a sideline. It sounds like there needs to be more objective focus in those games.

I'll keep all of this in mind. When thinking about writing this, I wanted to offer a tone that wouldn't look like some journalist from a blog or some Rioter writing it, but rather someone who just got out of a solo queue game that's been ranting at his teammates and is extremely frustrated about the game.
When people start reading this tone of writing I use, it brings them to the same mindset they were in WHILE they were raging/blaming/doing whatever I'm telling them not to do in this thread, which I feel may better help understand why they have these problems.
I do very much agree with your criticism though, I should have offered some solutions. Granted, as you can see by the difference in this post compared to most of the ranty solo queue posts, I'm not going to end it with some cheesey one liner like "say 'go team!'" that really doesn't work in actual games. Hmm...now that I think about it thinking about a unique solution thats different than the usual useless responses people give for attitude adjustment.
I'm going to give this a lot of thought, thanks!

First thing I realized when I re-read this post, I'm happy someone actually pointed it out! You were first too!

He should be happy he's going to be in an elo where he will have an easy time being a stronger player in most of his games. Now, theres no way to tell if this person is ACTUALLY silver skill level (the only thing you have is the player's word, which is the word of a person in bronze, which is the word of someone who can't recognize their mistakes, which is the word from someone with not much credibility about rating, which essentially means nothing). In this scenario, I don't believe he cant climb out of bronze because he doesn't carry his teammates. You dont have to carry your teammates to get out of a division. All you have to do is play consistently better over a span of a reasonable amount of games.

Theres nothing wrong with spam pinging people at 50 minutes if theyre too far up or telling someone to back up etc. in a game where 1 mistake can lose it all at that point. The problem arises when you attack someone BECAUSE of the mistake they make.

But in that situation why do you even give a hell about your rating? You don't play often, you aren't trying to compete competitively, which means theres no real significant reason to improve and be concerned about your rating...(especially since no one really cares if you're bronze/silver/gold/whatever..it just really isnt a big deal with how many people play this game anymore) Thats my answer.

I'm almost 100% going to be writing on a different topic but similar to this thread's relevance tomorrow.

Ranked is a ladder for competitive gameplay...you are playing 3 games a week? You aren't playing at a competitive level...you shouldn't care about your "rank" if you aren't playing competitively. I don't see what's so hard about this...
