I wanted to mess around with Yorick last night in some normals with a few friends. I think there were three of us an the two unknowns called top/mid on me. So I say fuck you Yorick jungle. I fucking carried the game, lol. I don't know how I went 7/2/7 to start the game, but I did.

Fucking Yorick.

Now that I'm seeing them consistently in my games I just cannot believe how fucking terrible Plat 1 / D5 players actually are.

I've always known that everyone who plays this game is terrible but now that I've been able to finally look past the curtain the truth has all but torn me asunder.

Heh I can't just win ranked games. My ADCs all build Hurricanes.

Why?

Gonna be in bronze where I belong soon enough.

I don't know why they removed Madred's, saying it was a 'noob trap' (it was), and then put Hurricane in the game. It is technically less of a trap than Madred's but not by that much. They really need to rework that item, it has a neat effect and absolutely retarded everything else. I don't get riled up when people troll, when they afk, when they disconnect, when they yell at me, but goddamnit, seeing someone buy a Runaan's thinking it's a good idea angers me up something fierce.

It's not that they are bad. People just think that because they are diamond with a couple of champs/roles that they play at diamond level with any champ/role. So if they are playing vs someone who's playing one of their main champs/roles and they are not, odds are they'll get stomped. I'm certainly guilty of this as I'm sure everyone pretty much is. I actually used to learn new champs in ranked lol. Surely one of the douchiest things you can do in league and is mainly the reason why I reached diamond 1, because I stopped doing that~!

Fucking Yorick.
anytime i jungle outside of ranked w/ friends i choose yorick, i need t commit and take him in ranked. he's got great sustain and his clear speed is pretty insane. his ganks are missing a gap closer, so if lanes have a stun you can get in range to use your slow. i see him similar to Nasus, but i prefer them in opposite lanes. i like nasus top and yorick jungle.

In terms of champion proficiency or mechanical play sure, higher ranked players are better than lower ranked players.

In terms of decision making, attitudes, or morale? Same shit. Exactly the same shit.

This isn't true -- I've noticed a tapering off of retard aggression in myself and others. I'd call myself a decent Silver player at this point and definitely notice my Bronze or Unranked friends chase to their death 5x more than other friends of mine that are what I'd consider peers.

Arbitrary is a solid plat player. So his perception of his peers is going to be skewed. There is no elo hell/elo hell is at all ranks and the games never seem to change in relation to what you consider good play or game outlook because while you are improving your play to move up your competition is staying on the same level (roughly) as you are. So feeders are still feeders, trolls are still trolls, dumb plays still happen all in relation to what you consider normal. What Arbitrary or myself at plat consider a "bad play" might seem like nothing out of the ordinary for a silver or bronze player.

No, that's not really it. I thought that at higher ratings I would see a general improvement in strategy. At the middle of Plat I see someone that isn't me take down timers for baron or dragon once per fifteen games. I still see supports that manage their Sightstones like they don't refill. Top and mid are not going to ever place a ward that didn't come from a trinket. No one is ever going to upgrade their trinket. No one is ever going to swap their trinket. Getting everyone to come to dragon is not actually possible. The amount of junglers I see that don't care in the slightest about it is baffling. Buff control? Everyone knows those things show up randomly. You can't plan for that.

And I fuckingsuckat this game. The only reason I've been able to advance as far as I have given my terrible hands and propensity to get pissed off is because 1. people let me get away with goddamn murder in the jungle more often than I am stepped on and 2. the amount of support players is frightfully low even given how awesome S4 is for them.

Nightblue's bronze to challenger stream has been really informative for someone like me who has played for a while but never payed attention to mechanics or strategy and just played. Lots of good info even though hearing "Thank you SO MUCH FOR SUBBING!!" every 30 seconds gets pretty annoying.
