Spectating Iron Games is INCREDIBLE

Casting an epic Iron 1 game with the glorious Bronze promotion on the line. Iron players are legit 10x better than me when I started playing. That Braum is built different and building different

It's funny how misunderstood the lower elos are by most players. Everyone says Iron / Bronze is bad and objectively that is true. If you are platinum and playing in bronze, you shouldn't have any issues completely stomping the game right, but in the same sentence people almost always are surprised by the level of players that play in the lower elos. They expect them to be in capable of farming, buying wrong items, no knowledge on what a tower is etc. It's weird how the community perception always appears to make them out to be basically bots. Iron and Bronze are like people who only play with blinders on. It's if league was played with no map and your allies were invisible. People make the wildest decisions from "normal" gameplay but they're never really as bad as people believe them to be. The skill floor on League as a whole as risen so much over the years that it's actually rare imo seeing people with truly no knowledge at all. Sure they often don't know match ups or often might tower dive when they shouldn't, often won't respect gank timers or even have the slightest idea of macro and tempo, but actually piloting champions and playing in a lane is typically not that bad. There are a million and one mechanics in league so of course they don't know everything, but I really think they're never as bad as people make it out. Just simply newer players or players that don't want to spend time studying the game and instead just wanna go in and click some champions and have fun.

[@alkeemist007]

I have iron and bronze friends. Even all the way up to bronze one. They are incapable of farming, buy the wrong items, and have no knowledge of what a tower is. If your plat friends have told you they were shocked by bronze plays it's because it was a play in the middle of a whole game of horrible decisions and misclicks.

[@ravenoushydra7948]

It's because like 8 years ago and earlier, it was true, most people in bronze 4-3 looked like they weren't even familiar with mouse and keyboard, or were mentally challenged (like actually, not as a joke). You would watch an iron game and most people wouldn't know how to move properly let alone kite or flash away from charged abilities. Times have changed, pretty much every living person in NA is at least fairly proficient with mouse/keyboard, and its not like 2013-2015 when league was a huge cultural phenomenon and everyone was trying it out, even people who didn't "get it" at all. Nowadays the playerbase is almost all veterans. Even the people you see in iron, who play really bad; a lot of them have been playing for years and years. Their mechanics, clicking ability, all improve to an extent, but they don't get that qualitative gameplay/gamesense change for whatever reason

[@zabrac1566]

@@ravenoushydra7948 Yup. This is what I meant with my comment. The other commenter mentions having a different experience so maybe it's dependant on where in the world you are, but I can say for at least EUW, even the iron / bronze players are better than the beginner bots despite the community seeming to believe otherwise.

Jokes on you but compared with Season 1 to 3, iron level nowadays is quite high compared to the worst Elo back then. Now people in iron looks to know much more basics than back then (last hitting minions, ganks happening, when to back (more or less), etc)

[@Rewleague]

agreed Iron has to be around the same standard as old silver

[@ildile8248]

I swear bronze V players at that time were special. Random building because you had no recommendation, only pushing last hitting was optional, if an enemy was in range fight him, never dodge, always stay in your lane, never going back with recall. The worst part is that these players weren’t even lagging, people lagging but with a brain were bronze II/III but bronze V was even more special

[@williammcarthur1966]

​@ildile8248 it was super special. I spent the first 4 seasons only playing twisted tree line. I still remember when I said out allowed to another friend "man shouldn't I actually be focusing last hitting if I get gold. And he said YES, OBVIOUSLY, ISNT THAT FUCKING OBVIOUS?". I was 18 and not very bright

[@Jamazed]

Low elo back in the day had things like J4 + Garen bot lane, optional jungler, river roamers, and 100 cs total by the end of the game as a good goal. Those were the days...

[@briannaphillips3633]

How you supposed to climb now? I played 2 years ago, got to Gold, and now I feel so dang bad stuck in Iron 1. Like, how do people know when to flash dodge my Hec ult at point blank range? Or when I'm about to gank? They didn't used to know that and basically inted to turret constantly as bronze. It feels like the skill floor went way up and now my "Gold" is barely bronze. Also constant level 50s in every game were plat/emerald last season and I'm getting destroyed.

@@capitatv Higher elo players say that jungle is the most OP role(maybe alongside supp). But games drag on for so long in lower elo, and no one plays around you as a jungler so it just feels so bad tbh. Also I'm bad, but still, mid/top/bot and even supp are all waaay easier.

[@williehrmann]

As a yuumi otp I can tell you once I drop below like high plat I go all the way down to silver or sometimes bronze. The ADCs at low plat are coinflip either know how to flank and make plays or are afk under turret because yuumi for 35 mins straight even after laning phase... below low plat it gets even worse. No matter how good you play on yuumi they just never collect the freekills. literally every game my adc lets slip like 4-5 free kills in lane alone. Normally my tactic is to burn flashes or first blood on level 1 because up until emerald a lot of the times ppl don't even flash and since with yuumi you got 1 more summoner you win every level 1 for free if the enemies are as dumb as underestimating yuumi and just running at you. But that doesn't help. Once my gold adc got 2:0 he defaults to play super passive with yuumi and drop even farm instead of zoning the enemies xD. All hope is lost in climbing and I abandon the account when I drop below plat.
