I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Are people really still hardstuck bronze these days? Everyone I know ends up in Silver and stays there at worst now

The person who founded our esports program at my college was in bronze 5 after 500 ranked games.

No wonder he was bad at tanking for our HotS team :v:

people have no concept of what the game is, and it differs from person to person. i saw a jungle who just farmed the jungle, never once ganking people, without buying items. another person played katarina, started racking up kills, and tried to buy a second mejais, before trying to solo baron and dying

E: most commonly people do not respect gold, never cs, and buy bad items though. then they pick fights for no reason

I actually tried to get a fresh alt account to bronze 5 once. I couldn't even lose my way below silver 5 on purpose. I really don't know how people get that low by accident.

It's not the play, it's the attitudes that are the worst. someone on your team dies before 6 min in? instant flame fest. or it's maligned whining "this is why YOU are in bronze " just massive dunning Krueger going on.

i watched my friend who got 11 cs at 10 minutes entirely unprompted near endgame get called a “loving noob bronze” by another bronze 5 gentleman who was playing vayne with 3 unupgraded bf swords

E: no boots either. just the bf swords

Man watching that video again after getting way better at the game then I was when I watched it the first time is amazing. He takes so much free damage from walking into his wave for no reason when Talon is using Rake for waveclear...

Being a support main forever, I've had many a quadra but never a penta (apart from aram) so that one really smarts

My one and only penta came from ARAM where I kinda sleptwalk into a bunch of people as four item Vayne. Think the closest I've come in ranked is a few triples on support Lux.

So, I want to leave my prediction here: This year's skin will be Victorious Zyra, and in keeping tradition with Zyra not having any Chromas, they'll drop the one chroma per queue idea.

it's possible to do poorly enough, for long enough, that you are literally better off just starting a new account vs trying to climb.

the path that my buddy took: despite never play a moba before, immediately start playing nothing but ranked at lvl 30... as jungle evelynn exclusively.

(he's silver something now I think, still just playing eve, on a new account)

I don't get how you guys can be "baffled" how someone can be stuck in bronze. People are different and have different skill levels/levels of dedication.

Do you get "baffled" when you meet someone who can play guitar but they can only actually strum a few chords?

because you can try to lose your way to bronze 5 and not even make it below silver thanks to your team carrying every other game.
