Just Made Silver Again: AMA

[quote=DillButt64][quote=XeresAce] [quote=Toshabi] Silver is an accomplishment nowadays? I think that platinum is pretty insignificant nowadays given how easy it is for turds to float up to the top. [/quote] I wonder what your tier is tosh, I wouldn't be talking down on plats just like that :P [/quote] hes been getting plat by playing not meta picks (singed voli bot etc.)[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi][quote=Kazega] Well you are much stronger than I am when it comes to the game. It's like weight lifting. Just because you can bench 225 doesn't mean I can. And I would be stupid to even try. Just because you can pump out 20 reps with ease where I struggle for even 3 doesn't mean it's insignificant to me. It's all about progress. [/quote] So every time I make an advancement in the game, I should make an AMA thread? Because I can probably make 50 AMA threads a day based on what I've learned (which would be considered insignificant by the people around me). Today I learned that if you were to add an 1 inch margarine around anything, it makes it that much more artistic to the eyes of those who are clueless about design. AMA imma designer. [quote=XeresAce]I wonder what your tier is tosh, I wouldn't be talking down on plats just like that :P [/quote] I know a few people who hit platinum last season that are probably worse than you. Solo Queue ELO is laughably, the most stupidest thing to base a player's skill by.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]He's allowed to make an AMA if he wants, tosh. As you can see, plenty of people had questions to ask. You make it sound like he made a pointless thread that no one wants to read or contribute to. I'll agree that platinum is worse than it used to be. At the start of season 3 when I was in plat 1 I was part of the top 0.45% of players. Now diamond 5 is something like the top 3%. It's rather deceptive.[/quote]

People were able to sit in leagues more cozy than have to compete to keep up a specific rating. It's what killed competitive play for me and is why I retired for DoTA season 3. Season 4 brought about some decent changes, but honestly, the new league system is still wishy washy for me. I preferred rating more than anything else. Less turds made it to the top with that system.[/quote]

[quote=MyRepublic]To go along with the analogy given, yes people should make posts for every step of the climb, just as in weightlifting there is advice at every step as you increase your weightlifting capabilities.[/quote]

[/quote] well if you want to make an AMA for reaching Diamond or whatever I won't stop you. It's not my job and I would ask you questions as well. As for this thread, well I made it more because i am at an inpass when it comes to a lot of things. With the help of some of the questions that were asked I've made up my mind about what I am going for when it comes to League of Legends.[/quote]

[quote=XeresAce]well, any players in division V of their tier are the same skill level as the tier below them, perhaps even a little bit worse... But that still doesn't mean I should look down on platinum II and higher players when they play better than me in all regards :3 My logic is: Platinum division V or IV - beatable by me, anything below - still beatable by me, platinum III - I might have a shot at winning, platinum II and higher - I really should get stomped. (From the viewpoint of a gold IV) Kaz, do you aim to get gold this season? :3 (just to keep on topic, sorry for rambling) Also, I remember you raged a lot xD It's good to see you changed for the better :3[/quote]

[quote=Kazega][quote=XeresAce] Kaz, do you aim to get gold this season? :3 (just to keep on topic, sorry for rambling) Also, I remember you raged a lot xD It's good to see you changed for the better :3 [/quote] Right now I'm just working on getting better. Once I get to I consistent level, I have been losing a lot trying new roles and champions. Once I'm confident with a good set of champs I'm going to start making an effort to climb the ladder. Right now I'm just going for not getting dropped since that can happen this year. Also not raging? Lol. That's rich. I still rage. I'm just less vocal out here about it. I actually broke my wrist a couple days back. Punched a wall, hit the stud. There were other non game related happenings going on that also started to boil over... Anyway being constantly a lower pick and supporting for ADCs who don't follow my lead and bitch about me hitting minions for a faster lvl 2.[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites][quote=Kazega] Tucson was a great place to be [/quote] do you still live in Tucson?[/quote]

[quote=Kazega][quote=Mooninites] [quote=Kazega] Tucson was a great place to be [/quote] do you still live in Tucson? [/quote] No. Now I live in Okinawa. But I'm about ready to leave. My military career is done so I am going back to Seattle.[/quote]
