Reign of Gaming

The arguments where people bring up their elo won't change much they'll just bring up their league level instead.

And people who do that are pretty stupid anyway and it'll usually barely slow them down when they find out you're higher. I've had many arguments with people where once logical arguments are failing they bring up their elo and I'm like oookay I didn't even bring up elo but you're several hundred below me, at that point they either attack you saying you dont deserve it or they say you're lying or brush off the importance of elo even though they brought it up, or they run away crying I doubt having leauges will change any of this much.

Anyway it seems like they major changes are it'll be harder and more grinding to get up most notably due to promotion matches. However its also much harder to drop out so that will atleast help prevent the 200 elo drops in one night because you're in a bad mood personally and I know other people who have done the same.

Basically I feel like people should more consistently be closer to their "true elo" as people called it.

Of course the otherside of this is its possible people who get elo boosted will take muuuuuuuch longer to drop down to where they should be.

I've spent plenty of time as a plat player coaching people for free, but I know I'm not gonna get any love from riot for that cause I didn't have a computer that could stream :P

Why should I pick you: I've played this game for a few years, understand the game extremely well and have been able to hit the goals I've set for myself. Have been through teams before and know the ups and downs of how these things usually go, am in a stable life situation and will be available

The high elo team queues were a big reason why draft died, maybe it didn't affect you as much if you were low down but it was definitely a big part of it. I have to avoid those high elo team queues in blind pick as well sometimes when I notice they're on

I like your drawing, I'm also slightly concerned about how often you mention food :P

Yeah I coach lots of people and could give advice but when you're level 15 the only advice that really matters is keep playing try different champs and roles and ways to play, (pushing top constantly and seeing how that affects the game, (invertedcomposer does this a lot)) roaming a lot instead of fighting mid its way to early at lvl 15 to be omg I hit my wall.

And trust me you wouldnt be the first person I know that did super well in normals at low lvl and then started ranked and got crushed.

I think two of the really good player assumptions are kind of just flat out wrong

- If really good, you are also really devoted, and take extra steps on team comp, ventrilo access, and so forth. 
- If really good, you screw around less by picking champions that are not effective in your lineup or whatever. 

As a Platinum player when I do normals with other plats we tend to screw around on picks and comps because they're normals its time to test things out and we assume our opponents won't be that good anyway. (My game earlier today I went Katarina top something I've never tried before and my Bud went Kennen mid, these aren't completely troll things but they're certainly not high tier for those roles.) and I've certainly done much worse, like games with amumu solo laning top etc.

And when I queue normals with people who are in diamond they honestly just get even more screwy with their champ choices.

So quite frankly from my experience with the many different good people I've played with these assumptions especially the second are not only wrong but the opposite is true.

However to be fair we do usually end up against weaker people and stomp though. occasionally it's annoying if we end up against other plats+ who are "tryharding" though, so I'm not complaining about match matching but those assumptions just seem so very wrong to me.

I was hoping the get more Ideas for trash talk from this articale, least there's the WNBA one

I've also had him intentionally feed in games and just generally not give a fuck and troll solo q super hard cause he's a pro.

I'm extremely happy, I've been personally trolled by him multiple times and I've hated Dig ever since.
