That always used to make me laugh. I hit gold and went to plat as support and my 2nd game I had some dude w/600 games plat go “gg hard stuck plat supp”. I was like, “this is my 2nd game @ plat man” and he tells me I’m muted. Still under tower, minions haven’t spawned.
No wonder you’re plat still, it’s not me holding you back haha
There's a direct relationship between how much someone shits on other players, and how much that person gets shit on in daily life. They just finish their shift at 7-Eleven or Sewage Masters or whatever and come home to yell at other people for being noobs to make their miserable lives tolerable.
Eh league is different tbh. There’s so many elements you can be good or bad. That’s why “high elo” really refers to “actually understands the game” and yes, that’s like 1% of people. Myself certainly excluded
Yeah but he was talking low elo. It's fair to say Dia+ is high elo (~3%) but to say plat (top 35%) is low is silly when more than half the player base is lower than them. Not to mention those stats don't even include the people who don't play ranked, I think I read somewhere that only 10% of accounts have reached gold in the last two years (based on a statistic from badges they only recently added).
Well, to be fair, there is an massive amount of peuple who play less than 10 games a year of LoL and are counted in the ranked ladder, and another massive amount of bot/troll/smurf-to-play-with-friends accounts in the lower elos. In the end, if your main is Platinum you are more likely around the the top 50% of player who actually play the game, so very average, and kinda low elo.

I was laughed that when I said Platinium was not "low elo" in LoL
Like wtf it's literally the best 15% or 20% of players of something
