8 BIGGEST DIFFERENCES Between GOLD & DIAMOND Players - League of Legends

[@Orthodox_Psalter]

QOTD: probably gold, since i reached silver this season. This season has also been my first

[@CosmoNova.]

Same.

[@ratzax1120]

That was my first season as well but i am not even lvl 30

[@SirTwitchy]

Goodluck!

[@guygershon615]

Same

[@janooojo6727]

Mine is plat cuz i have reached gold 3 this season. Its also my first one

[@Grey24]

You guys forgot to add the biggest difference: ego.

[@manuelschroder517]

Yea the ego in dia is something else.

[@TheGRAclan]

To be honest it's not that different. Gold players can be very egotistical and the main reason why it might not seem that way is because they're toxic in the more traditional ways of just saying stuff that will get them banned where diamond players are usually better at avoiding the ban hammer so are usually more condescending as it wont get you banned.

[@caspp_]

Actually, ego between Gold and Diamond isn't too different becouse both of this ranks are considered as "milestone" by low elo players. Golds think they are good becouse they got out of silver, bronze which is considered by them as "worst" elo. Diamonds aren't too different becouse diamond is considered first "high elo" rank. So players of both ranks have most likely high ego.

[@lillvesp]

High plat has the highest elo.

[@DixonTV]

@@mschecter0078 Diamond 4 do not play against Challengers. And if they get a smurf against them, they can simply blame their jungler for 0 help, enemy jungler for babysitting, enemy champ for being OP or just say "it was unlucky game". So I really doubt that anything can really damage their ego tbh. Moreover, imagine what would happen if a D4 would win a game against GM or Challenger smurf in the enemy team... xD I remember I played once a game on PBE as Kayle vs Nasus. And this Nasus was famous challenger youtuber "foggedftw2". We stayed even in lane and no one died. After all my team has won a game and I killed him in a teamfight. That was very enjoyable for my ego. And I'm not even D4, but Platinum 2 hardstuck

[@cadetclair]

QOTD: Having been a player who falls into the "quickly reach G4 and stop playing" for a few years now, I'm aiming to just get any higher rank than that, and keep the motivation to keep playing even after hitting Gold.

[@pramethicine9328]

Did you hit higher brother?

[@mrelz7689]

Did you?

[@rnjesus9950]

I was hard stuck in silver for years. Got gold today with a 90% WR in my last 10 games. Learning to 1) have a game plan coming out of load screen, 2) use an early/mid game champ (Warwick) to get an early lead and 3) play around baron in the mid game were the missing piece for me going from silver to gold. Knowing the right macro play didn’t matter if I hadn’t proven to my teammates that I could make a play happen, so early game presence has helped a lot.

[@erikmindgames3058]

"Gold players really struggle with measuring the riskiness of their plays", this is perfectly put. So many times do I see people making stupid decisions like invading as a support level 1 trying to proc their support item. The up side? You get 15 or 30 gold. The downside? They come out of nowhere and kill you. The risk is definitely not worth it.

[@CallOfTheVoid06]

I've been playing in League for about 8 years now and I was 4 times former challenger from season 4 to season 8 and things really changes so fast that I stopped playing for a year to focus on studies. I came back on the middle of season 9 and struggle to climb to my desired rank until now. I wonder if playing LOL is still worth playing...

[@captainknuckles543]

Proguids: relax the game is just starting for you Me: hard stuck gold 4 2years, yeah I'm just getting started

[@seanms35]

QOTD: Plat. Stuck in Gold due to not being able to carry other lanes from feeding. Also just difficult in general to solo-queue as Support in Lower Elo, I feel. When I play normal games with my higher rank friends, games are sooo much better and I feel like I can finally breathe bc I don’t need to stress about my AD’s positioning or wave management, or solo lanes feeding. Gosh... rant over~ sorry sorry.

[@MrJOSHLIGHT]

Bro I don't know how supports climb. I changed to jungle and then to carry junglers. Climbed so much more easily since then

[@starboy143ng]

For real I'm a support main and hard stuck gold. In order to get plat in season 11, I need to play my secondary role: JG.

[@ahree954]

I usually don't comment but I would like to help if you're down, I've climbed to diamond twice via sup. It isn't hard in my opinion and maybe you're just stuck on some fundamentals or in a need of a mentality change. No offense to that as that's just a potential reasoning as I have done some coaching.

[@Tiogar60]

Yeah avoid playing support until you are high gold/plat. ADC's will piss you off until then

[@Lucky180]

If you really think it’s just the other players holding you back (I overdramatized that a bit, you know your state more than I so) I’d advise you to look for some adc‘s you can actually communicate with. When I was trying to climb in jungle, I fished myself a Leona main after looking in a few rounds of normals and we just got to Platin this week 😄

[@newworde8333]

QOTD: of course gold III This seson i finished in silver III

[@alexko5605]

QOTD:i want to get to plat but i think i won't get pass gold 2

[@FIFAFootballer14]

QOTD: High Plat/Low Diamond. I'm pretty solid with apehlios all around, but I feel very reliant on my support's skill level as well due to limited mobility, opposed to playing something like Cait or Sivir who has a much easier time with a weaker support

[@reiniervandijk6435]

QOTD: I play Ekko, Nocturne, Warwick, and Yorick... but unfortunately Noc just isn't playable this season :( he gets countered by a lot of champs with CC and one-shots. He is really good in the early game, but after 15 min when people get items, he just falls off HARD. I hope they buff him really soon. I honestly love the champ.

[@JaredMaldonado]

"When you're gold, the game is just starting for you" I always thought that of my ranked Rocket League. I played it for college and grinded to whats the "Masters" of Rocket League. I actually quit League and went to RL, but tbh the best times in rocket league was when I was starting and grinding, there was so much improvement to be made and it felt so good. At the top level, its micro improvements that barely feel rewarding, its a harder grind.

[@theinsanityarc]

QOTD: challenger, what the heck. Even tho I'm silver it's good to have big goals

[@TheGRAclan]

QOTD: Every seasons the same for me. I tell myself I want Masters+. I play a bunch in Feb and March and get to D2. I realize how Riot have once again ignored making ADC a playable role and that reaching Masters+ unlike other ELOs isn't just about skill but is also about putting in a ridiculous amount of time and I decide to play normal games and other games for the rest of the season.

[@VigilTheProtogen]

QotD: I am one win away from promoting to silver this preseason. So in S11 I plan to get to Silver 2. That should make me an "average player" statistically, plus it would put me in the same rank as my friends. That has been my goal throughout playing league: to be good enough to play with my friends. They still let me join their normals but I get curb stomped and have a really bad time...

[@aaronjohnson3973]

Gangplank is very weak compared to what he use to be and if you aren’t a one trick i would leave him be

[@AvatP5]

I’m hardstuck gold because I’m trying to climb as an ADC. If mid, top, jg or any combination of those positions feed, bot lane can’t carry those games. I adhere to everything you listed in this video. I finish the season gold 2 and then every proceeding game has a either a troll, an inter, or something that makes a game unwinnable.

[@dudefortunate5522]

QOTD: I started league at the very start of season ten, specifically the same day Fiddlesticks rework was on the live servers. First champ i picked up, been maining him since. Spent the ENTIRITY of season 10 getting as much skill and game knowledge as I can, while only finishing my promos just to get Lucian eternals, now, I'm aiming for Plat in season 11, and ain't nothing gonna stop me

[@reggieblanch8368]

QOTD: I feel like I can definitely make it to Silver this season since I just started playing towards the end of Season 10. As a support main I'm having a ton of fun, but hopefully I can find a secondary role that makes sense. So far Swain and Nami have been my faves and I believe they can carry me to victory. Making it to Gold would be a dream, but I know I have a lot to work on.

[@EVERYTYME]

Pro Tip from Bunnyfufuu. If you play ADC or are playing clash and you really need your clicks to be on point. Go into a costume game with draven. Max attack speed, and just catch axes!! Bunny did this before every LCS game even as a support player!

[@HiImRawr]

I played about 50 games last season, first season on this account, at slightly over 50% wr and only in bronze 1. So far this season I have a 70% win rate after 80 games, but somehow winning gives me 18LP and losing losses 28 at silver 4. It blows my mind that my mmr could be this terrible after this win percentage.

[@harrysmith6239]

Qotd: 1k lp challenger at least. I play perfectly every game and deserve rank 1. I watch players like nilestop, tonytop, and revenge. They all make tons of clear mistakes, and I play much better than them. Unfortunately I only play gangplank every game though, so it’s not possible to reach 1k lp. I know that it’s not possible because nobody has ever done it on any server ever.

[@jaypee8750]

QOTD: For me I want to reach atleast PLATINUM, DIAMOND or maybe higher. I have knowledge for the game, and have been playing for 5 years. During pre-season 9 and 10 I aimed to step on GOLD, but season 11 might be the lucky season for me to start stepping on higher ELOs (fingers crossed). I'm still working on my 'Decision Making' skill though, because that really holds me on ranking up. Best of luck then....

What rank do i aim for in season 11? Bronze 1. I've fought against diamonds, platinums and won some of the matches without getting carried or losing line. I constantly get matched with these ranks BUT i like bronze, and i'm proud of my bronze 1 rank. Played 10 games last season and after i got bronze 1 i stopped, same this season 10. Why? As i said, i like bronce 1 and also enjoy normal games much more, less toxicity, almost no tilt, friendlier players, best overall experience for me.

The unspoken truth is that any idiot can reach diamond. The biggest issue is that once people get diamond they stop to care about the game. Their ego is so high and they are so far up themselves, they will not listen to your calls, they will ignore your pings, and insult you for trying to do so. Just stick to 3 champs and master those 3, you do this to understand as many matchups as possible. Focus on improve in every game and not to win, once you improve you will start to win more games. A challenger once told me 7 years ago "You are the elo you deserve to be". And this quote is so true. So guys....stop blaming or flaming your teammates, everyone is trash at the game even you, untill you reach Diamond 1 or higher. Everything below that is considered low elo. Trust me.
