Not really. S2 diamonds are mostly in very high diamond 1 (80-100 LP) and then the 50 that held off their promotion series until this weekend are the ones in challenger.

The only annoying thing is that its become worthless to try to get to diamond for people from diamond from season 2. I made an effort to get diamond in season 2 and felt very proud of my achievement but I just feel like with s3 being everyone having diamond,my achievement has just been eradicated. The only realistic thing I couldve tried was challenger but the endless grinding wasnt worth it. So basically Riot created a ranked system which has a gap for the 600 players from diamond in season 2, which made 90% of the season for me just random funtrolling in soloQ. Diamond too easy,challenger too annoying. But welp,players get better and so on but I dont think these many people belong to the 2nd highest rated league in this game.Vulf wrote:
Diamond 1 and challenger are the people that were diamond in season 2 maybe some high plat. Remember there was only about 600 people in diamond in season 2. Everything under diamond 1 is pretty much gold and silver players from the previous season.

I agree aswell that plat/diamond should be made harder to reach, maybe a variable mmr necessary to reach certain division, increasing over time as the season continues to only let X% players into certain leagues/divisions. Even strict % values for every 25 lp range in diamond to prevent the whole D1 issue in which clamping was too big by spreading it over D2-5.

I'm a Bronze player and that is no where close to my attitude in the game.
That being said, some people do like to say something along the lines of 'you're not good at the game' in ranked... I usually come up with something along the lines of 'you're playing with Silver and Bronze players... you can't be that good yourself if you're here with us'. That usually shuts them right up, even if they're only joking around.
I actually had one guy say 'Nah, I don't belong here, I'm really good'. That was interesting... He went Jungle-Jarvan IV ... wasn't 'bad', but there were some decisions he/she made that just... weren't good ones.
Well yeah i think i am one of those players i almost always stomp players in lane ect but after i make stupid mistakes i need to learn to play more focused not like lalala i am fed i can kill everybody lalalal no i need to be more like ok i am fed we can take objectifs push towers then do a teamfight ectSiFly wrote:

Playing normals over ranked doesn't matter, because I only have 80 total ranked games with season 2 and 3 combined and I still got gold very easily in season 3. Normals are supposed to prepare you for ranked by the way. Not sure why some people act like it's some sort of troll queue half the time even though I have encountered way more trolls in the 80ish ranked games than I have in the last 300 or so normal games.SoG Tava wrote:

As already mentioned people in bronze lack mechanics and have poor decision making. Another big thing is they don't know a lot of champion match ups at all. I've seen some of my friends that are bronze all in against stuff like Riven as Singed or Yi at level 2 and feed horribly and they don't understand why they died and lost that lane. There is also stuff like proper itemization (when to build this or that) that causes them to not do well, but that's not only limited to bronze because I see diamond players itemize terribly all the time. It's just more extreme in bronze. lol
If you really want to climb ranked it's probably best to just play one or two champions for each role. I really don't get why people try to be so diverse with their champion pool if they are under diamond. I only play one champion in ranked and it very rarely put me at a disadvantage. Even pros like Dyrus and a few others have said it's best to just spam 1 or 2 champions to get to diamond and then branch out from there.
I actually haven't played anything but ranked lately, lol.SoG Tava wrote:

cait surely has the longest range in the whole game, but saying she's "not hard to play" is an underestatement. i honestly think she's hard to play, i have no clue why. call me bad or whatever, but i think cait is pretty hard.

I thought that you were suppose to counter-pick all the time (I have friends who watch pros while I do not) but wasn't told until late that matchups matter less at Bronze level. I'll worry about matchups when I start to rank up, but at Bronze, I don't care... yet.psKirika wrote:
This is so true and so wrong at the same time. Picking the right/wrong champions can win/lose the lane straight. I ALWAYS chose an adc by our teamcomp / their bot lane. While others might not and get crushed in lane by first picking and insta-locking Vayne.
Vayne is banned because she's basically the strongest adc duelist late game and can carry hard alone. For example, 1 item Vayne = 2 item Cait etc.Justykanna wrote:

Didn't like Caitlyn's kit at all. Her ultimate's easily blocked by someone else, her Q keeps her in one spot for a short time. I like Sivir because she's mobile and her Q takes zero time to launch and people can't dodge it (which makes it super fun). I loved her before the rework.
Sona... ehhh... I don't feel like she has enough to protect her ADC. Nami has a stun, slow, heal, poke and wide-range, long-range ultimate slow. Then her passive.At least for ADC, I need someone mobile. I considered Lucian but I heard he's underpowered.SoG Tava wrote:

I mean, if I see a Pantheon, I'm not gonna pick my main (Gangplank).
That reminds me, why do people hate Gangplank so much? o_O

caitlyn vayne's hardest counter? ask them when they both have full items at 40 min mark
a bad vayne can even kill a mediocre caitlyn

Nasus will get nerfed for the same reason Warwick got nerfed (actually gutted) in season 2. He is immovable in lane and that is stupid and not fun to play against.

Also the new dorans shield made a lot of stuff with built in sustain really strong.
Nerfing his early game sustain is a step in the right direction, but he needs to be nerfed a little more.

double dorans ring is way stronger on him
9 mana after each kill + 6 mana regen and his q only costs 20 mana
thats a nasus thatll never feel the need to come out of lane
Vulf wrote:
Probably because building mana regen on a champion that doesn't have mana problems is why. You are spending 800 gold on stats you don't need other than the 120 health. Dorans shield gives everything he wants for almost half that price 100 health 13 reduced damage from AA's (if you go defense tree masteries) and health regen that stacks well with his passive. Mana issues are the least of his worries.

If you don't know how to play the champion that counters something and you pick it expecting to have an auto win in lane you are going to have a bad time. I've picked Warwick into horrible things before and still won my lane because I was simply better than the other person and vice-versa.
He has enough to use his Q 24/7. The main goal is not to use his W/E since it will drain your mana. Indeed he doesn't need additional mana regen and he gets enough initial mana by building the glacial shroud/sheen itemsShimy wrote:
