League of Legends separates it's players into 10 different ranks. Starting at Iron being the lowest and Challenger the highest. However, Both the lowest and highest ranks in the game are home to less than 1% of the player base. One is self explainable but the other makes you wonder... What is going on in Iron 4?
Today we take a look at what's happening in the lowest rank in the game and along the way we learn about the legend Kadeem Alford.

kadem have some problems am i right? cuz its not possible to play and say things like that thats just unreal
only 5 likes no wayyyyyy
Can you review my account too. I am iron 4 with high lvs.
Can you make a video for me. I am iron 4 too. And i am lv 200.
They are scammers you try to redeem a prize and u get nothing they ask for vrif and say it's not real then scam you lol
My biggest flex is that I have Kadeem on my friends list and we play sometimes
no way
now that’s a flex fr
your biggest flex is that you like to make yourself suffer? weird
I have him on discord and sometimes call him Xd 😂
@@shadowclone1598don't kink shame
i know someone who has thousands of games and goes from iron 4 to iron 2. he is genuinely so unbearable to play with because of his attitude. he spends all game complaining and being so negative and refuses to accept him and his attitude is the problem. he refuses to actually learn macro or learn anything that could help him. he insists the game is just broken and its all his teammates fault. it is genuinely so baffling why he plays the game when it makes him so miserable and obviously doesn't bring him anything good.
Bro i literally know a person 1:1 like that
Some people cannot handle the notion that they just aren't good and go into legitimate denial.
bro called me out like that 💀
Also have a friend like that but im a bit of an asshole so i decided to make him learn the hard way by absolutely shitting on him and making him realise hes dogshit at the game and hey it worked at least and he actually started learning cuz i shat on his ego so badly that he lost it 😂😂😂
@@YukkaRinnn depending on the person this method can probably work sometimes lmao

The move is so good that even Tyler 1 did it in challenger An it worked
Never let your foe know your next move
Kadeem's account is probably worth thousands of dollars. Level 600+ account, bought skins, event skins, icons, all champs, 100k + BE and naturally low mmr.

@@NicolaiLol 😔
It's funny how Iron accounts are as valuable as Challenger accounts because it is so difficult to get there without getting banned for inting
@@masterblaster2678not more me i’m hard stuck 😭😭
@@masterblaster2678and i do good i farm cs and keep a good kd almost never feed, but every game i get 1-2 dudes arguing and feeding.
Kadeem actually worked for me about a year or two ago. He's an extremely sweet guy and put his all into everything he does. He obviously has something going on which is noticeable not only by how he plays the game, but also how he works and talks. I knew who he was as soon as he became my employee, and he actually brought up league as one of his favorite hobbies. When I mentioned I also played he became very open to me, but would also say he is one of the best players. He genuinely believes that he is amazing, so it is pretty hard to get him to learn along with what I previously mentioned.
It sucks to see people make fun of him sometimes in his streams because this isn't his fault. He just wants to stream his favorite game in a place where he can make some friends and I think that is sweet. I know his gameplay won't improve much, but he really is a great guy. Hope he's doing well!
That is so sweet to read. Everyone takes this game too seriously. Is not that hard to understand some guys just want to have fun !
Nah. He's not 'a great guy'. Being disabled and impaired doesn't make you a good person and especially not when you have an inflated ego like that.
@@oscarcabrejosvilchez4703 The problem is that League is a team game. When you lose, your team has to make up for it, and every game he blames his team. You can be a nice guy irl and still be wildly toxic in game to the point of detriment. It's not that his teammates are taking the game too seriously, it's that he's actively ruining the game for everyone else just so he can play. I mean this respectfully, but he's too dumb to play team based games. He shouldn't be competing and his normals games subtly show that he knows that too, but he still wants to -play- win against humans.
What kind of services did your company provide? Im surprised Kadeem could work lol
@@SeudXe shipping, just unloading trucks was our sections role
That Tahm and Anivia duo XD wtf....imagine comming from 12hrs work and you are like yeah I wanna play some ranked games and then the game put these two on your team.
Brutal way to wind down
Really funny, because I had the same situation, when had Anivia im my team who disrupted team play. First Anvia tried to stick with me in Top lane when I played Garen, but I outplayed enemy Top and Anivia. Then Anivia stuck with ADC and from there situation got worse for our team. We lost
Kadeem's tweet about 20 deaths do have a point to a certain degree. 4 years ago there was a Reddit post where a gold Singed player got the unpleasure of matching with TfBlade on Irelia, he ended up 0/17/0 within 15 minutes and got banned for "inting" unintentionally, the worst part is that 3 of his teammates afk'd and the 4th one running it down and only he got banned (4th one maybe got banned but there is no telling if that is true). The ban got lifted but you get the point
Its pretty stupid that bad players can get banned for that. I think theres a huge difference in actually trying vs running down midlane into tower.
I think most reports are filtered and resolved with bots/AI, until socmed &/or tickets requires human intervention.
With the amount of false alarms Riot probably gets, I'd assume you actually need bots to handle reports sometimes, especially for the ingame report system. Inaccurate punishments sometimes are the downside.
the whole system is trash and broken few months ago I was playing and my midlaner die from his lane so he decided to come top take my farm from me without saying anything to make me go mid so I give the enemy top some kills and go mid they ban me for feeding and didnt ban him for troll and when I talked to the support I told them im wrong for feeding but he is the one who start the problem with his troll their respond was my feeding effect the other players experience with the game but he didnt and I should mute him so I reply to them how muting someone staying on my lane taking my farm gona fix the problem and i'll start to do same thing and when someone talk to me i'll tell them riot support says its okay and isnt something you get ban for it they keep talking on how feeding is bad and they will keep an eye on him and if he get more reports he will be baned too
@@97mah It's not you it's League, League doesn't deserve you man, Team games² didn't age well these days. Probably the worst team game of all, and the reasons are essay long, and if we talk about it, it would be endless debate and outliers.

"i flashed to confuse them"
You did buddy...
I had a friend who insisted that iron was the hardest elo in the game that even challenger players couldnt get out of iron. It got so annoying to hear him complain.
I convinced him to let me log into his account i played 1 game as vayne and i went 30/2 or something. Im sorry to that iron game i ruined. Please forgive me i had to prove a point.
Similar thing happened to me. Picked Diana and went 20/0 something on it just for the lols. Anyway my friend stopped talking to me after that.
Same with me as well and he kept saying his teammates were the reason he dont climb but since im a bit of an ass and i dont sugarcoat things i said to him "bro ima be real you just shit at the game" mans got mad real quick and he said "how about you do it then play in this elo" i said " ayts bet" picked my Sett built lethality for the memes and went i shit you not went 38/3/14 and the final kill score of that game was like 65 to 47 and the cherry on top was that the botlane my team had was inting and was like 4/13 and 7/16 by the end of the game and ngl to rub it in his face i told him after the game "Told ya u just ass at the game bruh" 😂😂😂
good you affirmed me that only chall players can beat irons, because irons can beat even diamond apes
@@LaplacianDalembertianUhm, no?
Op didn't even tell what rank they are. The only thing that they proved is that id u don't climb, is mostly your fault.

Iron 4 players shouldn't get banned over 20 deaths, that's kinda expected for their level
Nobody should get banned for 20 deaths unless they were inting.
@@jotarokujo8423 i mean, 20 deaths is kinda inting
@@macedo1321 if u die 20 times on a champ like tryndamere u gave something close to 1 item of gold to the enemy team, and now youre worth literally less than a cannon while being able to split and force the enemy team to be on the topside of the map, i never died that much but i already died like 15 times on sion and still got S performances (diamond elo btw). It just doesnt make sense to have a system that bans u based on deaths as if kills where the most valuable things on the game
I think y'all are missing the point, MOST of the people that get 20 deaths are inting.... even in iron 4 Kadeem is a very rare exception@@jotarokujo8423 @macedo1321
This makes me wonder if Riot's moderation team takes different ranks into consideration when spectating a game.
Would be interesting to learn how they do it, but they probably can't talk about their methods too much. :(
In brazil we have a player named williamgordox that plays league since ever and is always in bronze/iron. He actually traveled to corea last year and reach silver their lol.
brazil is the new korea confirmed
Respect for Shouting out Kadeem. Dude is funny asf to watch
One day he'll reach challenger!
This right here is the biggest problem with matchmaking in league, smurfs who keep their elo low enough to keep stomping low elo players. Its toxic, elitist and a bullshit thing to have in a game.
What's even fun about it for them? Shitting on low elo players, making the game miserable and toxic af, especially for new players... why? I don't get it.
Because they are unable to compete with their peers
Sure, but smurfs aren't anywhere nearly as big a problem as people in low elo make it out to be. I swear low elo players see someone pop off, have a crazy good game, and say "fucking smurfs how am I supposed to even win when my team is shit and I'm playing against a smurf!" ... and then you check that "smurf's" opgg and they are 48% wr 400 games plat or some shit. Smurfing in low elo does not happen anywhere nearly as often compared to how low elo players love to say it does. I just got diamond in 180~ games for the first time and I encountered like 4-5 people max that I genuinely felt were smurfs and when I checked their accounts they were 80% wr in 30 games going 10cs/m every game with 20+ kills. It doesn't happen THAT much.
Statistically it is impossible for someone to be held back by smurfs, just by virtue of basic math, unless that person was put on a hitlist by smurfs
@@zawarudo1041 thats a complete lie, i have a lot of master friends that just like to play vs iron to try to comprehend how their little mind works, its more like a rat lab stuff than not being able to compete
Well Kadeem and Thebausffs prove that no matter where are you ranked riot punishment system is broken
It's because feeding/inting the game when there are other options to play thru over a perfect minion farm, but being 0-10 at 12 minutes should be banned, you legit can be 50 cs down in a lane and still flip the game later with opportunity, you know what opportunity doesn't exist with a 0-20 player and having 2 enemies 2 items up on the rest of the game pressing advantages.............. this is directly 1 players fault
@@Rerpesentz Tell me you don't know shit about Bausffs without telling me, pay attention to his games. Most games he has a huge lead on the enemy laner in gold. Cause of farm, towers and shutdowns.
@@alexandervesterlisagen9716 That is only when he plays Sion because the champ is broken. Now his gragas or irelia don't ever get to be ahead in gold compared to enemy toplaner. Every proplayer hates having this inter on their team but won't say it because big community of bronzes thinking they can do the same as him and win even when inting. It gives them hope to reach challenger someday
@@georgigyovchev6448he’s doing the same with rammus rn, it’s not just sion
@@danchen10491 But doesn't change the fact that he warps the entire game into Top Lane meta. Someone calculated his style of making use of bounty system and plate gold & Bausffs style indeed generates the most gold advantage up to 10+ cs/min but it does the same to the opponent if the opponent is not stupid & this can be VERY VERY RISKY if the enemy toplane steam roll the other 4 members on Bausffs team. (and this strat is only viable for high elo where players know their macro well enough & understand how to play around a fed opponent)

People in my games saying the most horrendous scarring shit you've ever heard in your life game after game are just fine, but Kadeem is banned just for being bad at the game ? 💀💀💀 Riot is tripping istg
To be fair., both should be banned lol
@@alihorda you can't ban someone for being bad at the game, that's absurd
@@hugoboncar you can if they are intentionally bad and never improve
@@alihorda its clear there is a mental problem here, not that he doesnt want to improve but is incapable of doing so, is it really his fault tho?
@@ags8507 I am not sure if he is doing for views or has legit mental disabilities. You are either disabled (no offense) or intentionally stay in iron
I always feel like I'm pressured to do well in every game I play, especially now that I'm aware of what being "good" looks like to the point that I get too anxious to play ranked even tho I know I'm relatively above average... so I really admire this guy for being able to play regularly despite being "bad." Not caring is one hell of a skill I need the most work on.
It's a personal issue I've always had a hard time dealing with. Massive respect for the guy tbh.
It's just an IQ diff tbh, Dunning-Krueger and whatnot..
im the same way, emerald 2 rn, wanting to hit diamond by tuesday, just can't queue up lol
Dude it’s not that he doesn’t care but he’s so high on copium that he thinks he’s the best at the game, so he doesn’t feel pressure lol.
@anthony8041, Not even IQ I think this guy may have some kind of disorder. Autism perhaps?
Kadeem, the GOAT, Challenger in normals
he is challenged tier, like me, my mom says im special
i really wish new accounts would be placed in iron and bronze instead of gold-emerald... i know some of my friends who are not very well skilled tried ranked for a first time placed in gold 2 and plat 4.. i am as confused as they are and they are slowly losing those ranks
I hadnt played the game for 4 years and I used to be platinum. But after a 4 year break, I returned and they gave me gold 1 even after losing 90% of my matches lmaoo. It makes no sense.
@@ofanichan If you played those games in the past 12 months (which I'm assuming yes) then you are actually not the "gold 1" you think you are. Last summer at the end of 2023 split 1 Riot changed the ranked distribution when they added Emerald tier. Every rank from silver to plat effectively got boosted up 1 tier, i.e. silver is now gold, gold is now plat, plat is now emerald. So in terms of ranks that you are used to you are actually old silver 1 rather than old gold 1.
@@YuYuYuna_ Oh! at least that's something haha
ELO rating system is not suited for team games. In every computer simulation, it's proven that the system is not suited well to determine actual skill of the players.
@@OsedayCanof course it isn't, even if you do your best and are the 2nd best player in the match, you still lose because you can't carry 4 players. crazy

"oh questions im okay thanks thou"
This perfectlly describes how I feel he thinks.
it was a based response in my opinion
3:15 that gameplay gave me permanent mental damage
i was bronze untill not too long ago, played in iron when i first started playing the game. I had a few higher ranked players duoing with me one time or another, sometimes normal sometimes ranked, it's funny to watch them lose even though they were playing seriously lmao.
Really low ranked games are infested with passive junglers who fear objetives with their lives, adcs who aa standing still or in punishable range, top laners who either feed or get fed (this one is more common in higher ranks tho) etc.
Games are way more coin flippery, and to get out of these elos you need to play way better than the average player there, i think i had a 80% wr when i finally got out of that hellhole.
a friend of mine said that she is stuck in Iron 4 and never managed to get out of the rank
i wanna help her, so i got an alt in bronze to try help her, but i never played in iron until now, as i always played in diamond,
so going down to iron was a nightmare seeing how some play and i can understand why
she is stuck, there are players with such low map knowledge and so much else that can cause
you to have a hard time to climb,
Its the same through bronze - gold. So many shit teams just throw.
no, it just means you suck, unless she plays something insanely team dependant like yuumi if you have even a basic understanding of the game you are just going to stomp hard because they make endless amount of mistakes.
Same thing in bronze/gold. "The team throws" Only works because you are at the same elo as them. Get better, compensate bad teammates with skill, and you are going to climb.
idk i have played with smurfs in any elo. i just solo carry the games in plat and below. literally doesnt matter how hard my team ints. i even win 4v5s or 3v5 from time to time. and yes sometimes u face another smurf and hes just better than u, or his teammates feed less. thats a loss. but generally speaking if theres no smurf in the enemy team u should be able to 1v9 every game in plat and below as dia player. its just too easy. especially if u pick noob stomp champs like nasus and mundo. so if u have a hard time climbing out of low elo as dia player its kinda on u.
@@user-tp5jm7th3npost your 100% WR below diamond account with clear team inters then. Unless you're just talking bullshit?
its the same even in emerald lol@@phalanx9005
"I don't know how that hit, this could hacking" 😅
I’m so glad that I’m almost in gold now, it was several years of being stuck in iron, I feel actual improvement
7:06 season 6 was such a good season he forgot his duties
for anyone who is struggling in iron. Spam Arams. Arams teach you mechanics like dodging, teamfighting ect. also you are forced to play different champs. And yes you are mostly stuck in iron cause your mechanics are shit. Play a year or a half only Aram and then return to ranked, trust me.
Love that tahm kench guy. We need more people like these. Anivia too
Kadeem Alford seems like a cool dude honestly. Keeps playing even in the face of adversity. Looks like he has other things going on in his life too. Respect honestly
My former roommate was iron 4 and the worst part is that he was trying to improve at the game and just couldn't luckily he stopped playing league PC and moved to wild rift where he was gold, I don't know if he still plays the game becase i haven't seen him in almost 3 years
Wild rift is a good switch. Kiting is easier, map is smaller and it feels less difficult if you're not used to PC gaming. Id recommend it to people struggling with league PC.
I used to play with a friend in another game. He had a lot in the game and it’s not a fully balanced game with quite a few broken things. He had most of these broken things and suffered a terrible win rate. Even so he would always blame the team, he would never acknowledge that he was the problem. I eventually grew tired of it and just stopped playing with him. A bad player in the game would be normally 48% wr or lower. He was 41%
Good taste, been playing a ton of Persona myself recently
"I flashed to confuse them" 💪
5:55 The Gate Keepers of Iron. Thats sound cool asf
That Tom anivia combo is just genius
There was some dumb shit that Riot did when they introduced Iron as the new lowest rank, too, which resulted in plat and diamond players calibrating in iron that season, which made things a lot harder, because while most left little more than a handful of games worth of impact in each division as they stomped their way back up to where they belong, some of them joined in on trying to stay down there for funsies, while others from all divisions fought tooth and nail to lose matches, or just afk'd to get down there, all of which obviously made things far more miserable than it had to be..
I went from calibrating Silver 3 at the end of the previous season, to calibrating low bronze and eventually deranking to iron 4 0LP, and was the second lowest in the NA leaderboard, somehow there was a guy below me who actually had wins in his last 40 games. Now I will admit that after half a dozen or so griefed promos to get out of Iron, I gave up and just autopiloted my way down the rabbithole, joining the toxic masses of doomers who shut down any attempt at positivity from teammates, because I'd noticed that in about half of my games there was someone extremely sus on each team gatekeeping the matches (in most of the rest there was only one on one of the teams), and no matter what everyone else in the game did, they would pull something to swing the game the other way.
It's honestly kinda surprising that these loss traders(?) have been allowed to do this shit on the same accounts for so long when so many people are aware of what they are doing, and yet you can get banned for dying 20 times in a game... Shit company who gives zero fucks about their games or community beyond how much they can milk peoples wallets.
I have friends who’ve been playing nonstop since Season 4 and they were hard stuck bronze until iron was brought out… now they’re hard stuck iron
It's pretty eye opening for how easily I learn those games knowing that I can be absentmindedly, not grinding, stay in plat. I wouldn't even know if I'm learning, without the contrast, since I never really think I'm doing anything different, I just play my champ...
im pretty new to league relatively speaking and I play top, and I learned how to play Riven and im OTP riven now and learning her caused me to be in iron 4, for the longest. eventually if you queue into ranked games at like 4am, you will get actual bots for teammates like A.I controlled teammates. shits so weird. proud to say im in bronze now :)
Taam Kench with 0% wins... I know that story. Besides 200+ losses on Taam Kench, he also had about 80 losses on Trundle and 100 losses on Nunu.
I want to say that player has ruined about 400 ranked matches. Do you think that all those players didn't report him? Of course they did, but the complaint system just didn't work.
And he was finally banned just because a video about him was released on TheLoLHounds channel that gained more than a million views. Only then Riots banned that player!! 😱
Just imagine: 400+ ruined ranked games!!! And he would have continued to do it if somebody hadn't made a video about him.
league has become like an IQ test now.
Now it's forsen who is in wooden OMEGALUL
"If I can't be the best, I sure as hell can be the worst!" -Jontron
As a fairly new player correct me if im wrong. The best thing bad players need to learn is spacing IE staying out of the oppenents attacks whilst staying close enough to counter whilst also managing cooldowns. I see alot of people also going all in when they absolutley should not.
Nah, macro far more important than micro (what you are refering to). You should put more focus on the overall direction of the game and figure out your win condition. Also for personal improvements just review your actions and figure out where you are making mistakes and try to work on them. Everyone has their own problems whether they are new or not.
Also players who tend to just go all in and die aren't thinking about the outcome or risks. Weighing risk and reward is important. Personally I think arguably the most consistent route is obtaining constant gold and income with as little risks as possible. But when new, "limit testing" and figuring out the limits and numbers is very important. So dont be afried to make mistakes and try things that cause deaths. As long you learn from them. For years I was a safe player who rarely wanted to battle, but I felt I didn't learn as much as I did once I started taking risks.
Biggest difference between you and Kadeem is that you are actually trying to improve, which you will.
as he said macro map awareness, objective control, and wave management are all far more important skills that most low level players lack learning ur champion micro can only take u so far
Nah low elo players worry about the things that don't matter. They need to focus on aiming for 8+cs/m every game, focus on learning wave management (is the wave pushing, do I need to push 1 more for it to crash, do I want to push the wave or hold it towards my side because of lane matchup/jg is bot, etc.), not spending 5 minutes in base buying items, and watching high elo VODs of the champ(s) they want to play. Also low elo players need to cut their champ pool to 3 champ max. Damn near every low elo player I see plays 15 different champs and its like well no wonder you can't improve. You have no discipline and just play whatever. Which is fine if your goal is just purely to have fun and mess around in league, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you want to improve you have to focus on a select few champs and grind those champs to perfection.
As a fellow elsword player (4:34) i respect his efforts
I started playing 2023 split 1 and I was placed iron 3 but many of my games were full of bots for leveling and yes even in ranked and so I needed in iron 4. Now I was very stuck in bronze but am almost in plat it feels good
I got up to bronze 4, almost 3 and then had repeated bad games and dropped to iron 3...so sad. It was a struggle to get back again. I'm just average but its mostly if my team is good, or just ok we win, if they are not, we lose - i cannot carry. I played a 5 man with some gold/silver players and did just fine. I did OK and the team carried, just like in iron. Interesting there are anti-smurfs out there. So sad if you get one. In the end, makes no difference. It's just a game, not real life.
The last clip was such a disrespect bruh 😂😂
I remember my promo game from iron to bronze. I was stressed because everyone had bronze or silver brackets.
It turned out I was feeling like a smurf in this match. And also teammates were nice.
Kadeem is the goat :) watch kadeem alford daily
I just demoted to Iron 4 today, I know my flaws and where I need to improve but I just don't put in enough time into the game to actionably work on the areas that I need to improve, and I usually just play for fun with my friends in normal. I want to climb, I just accept that I'm not at the point where I'm ready to yet.
i remember my time around s5 or s6, had a thousand games on normal games and just barely 30 on ranked. still struggled to get out of bronze 5 and ended with negative lp lmao but i was just a little snotty kid back then, now im turning 19 and jus hit plat 4 on solo/duo. i play like 4-5 games per week so im really proud even though it took almost 10yrs to improve.
Omg I forgot about that tucking guy 😂😂
was iron 4 for like a while, finally got bronze 1 and silver 4 fluctuation, udk how crazy it is for me
Cant wait till someone makes a video about my gameplay, Currently iron 4 and just lost my 30th game in a row recently
what is twitter and what are tweets?
I just escaped Iron 4 over the past month, it's an absolute shitshow of a rank to get out of. I'm not typically the type of person to blame bad teams for me losing, the fact of the matter is I was Iron 4 because I was playing like an Iron 4 player, but there was the odd game where I had somebody throwing which is absolutely infuriating in the moment. Ultimately it means my stay at that rank was longer (Yes they were throwing, people like a Yuumi with 2 wins, 52 losses this season, building full tank etc) not an enjoyable experience. I'm sure this type of things happens in all ranks, but I feel like due to the nature of Iron 4, it happens a bit more there.
As soon as I got out of mid Iron, I've managed to climb up to Silver 4. Yes it's still a bad rank and I'm still awful at the game, but it's an honest relief to be out of that hell hole. So many trolls and assholes in that rank, but like any other rank/game, as long as you put in enough games and deserve to move up, it'll happen over time. Best of luck to those brave soldiers still stuck in Iron, trying their hardest to escape. o7
There are currently, at the time of writing this, around 9 times more players in iron 4 than in challenger and grandmaster combined
I play in EUW and have a messed up sleep schedule. I'm usually bronze and get the weirdest teams because the matchmaker gets creative, sometimes I play with/against almost full Iron Teams, sometimes it goes up to diamond.
Being a Support, this always gets me caught into the weirdest situations, because I don't know their ranks when picking my champions. You don't want to play a enchanter or engage support when your ADC is a true iron player.
But not enough with that, it's also the dumbest reasons that makes them go completely nuts.
You'd think damage supports would be a save option rather than engage/enchant... which is true as far as the enemy is concerned (most of the time).
HOWEVER, you also have to consider the needs of a iron adc with main character syndrome, because half of them will run it down for the sole reason of you having more kills than them.
My personal highlight however, was a Gold4 adc switching with me to pick last, not pre-picking a champ. It was my only Bard match this year (to get S rank chest) and he decides the best pairing for Bard is a non-farming Senna after he saw Senna win all matches in LCS that day.
Whoever at Riot saw a 0-13-2 report a Bard that did win the game, get S+ and deal more damage than the rest of the team combined for roaming must have had a good laugh.
I'm such an old league of legends player back on the scene that I had to look up what "inting" meant. Back in my day, it was called "feeding".
Feeding can be from just playing poorly but earnestly though; "inting" is short for "intentional feeding."
They're the same thing. "inting" or "intentionally feeding" and "feeding" have the same meaning.
No way bro made a vid of Kadeem ive been watching compilations of him the past days and I have done that in over a year. Sometimes u just remember him.
I may not be the best player and I know I haven't improve too much since I started around s2, but even I know I don't play that bad and I can instantly see some of the mistakes being done wrong. It's why I opt to choose to remain unranked most the time since half the rank or majority of rank games for me just have toxicity.
My best friend is Iron 4, he played during a broken LP gain month and he plays Support. He is not bad but the farther down he got lead to the worse players in his game. I'm just shocked he got their legit and never tried in the first place. His other acc is Silver. But he still makes Iron 4 on his old acc. User: IRON ELO SUCKS
It is me about 3 years ago after placements i was placed in IRON 4 0LP.
I die so much in my games, but never have I intentionally fed. MY team just wont commit.
I only started playing league in season 13 and got out of iron in 4 matches . I don’t see how ppl are stuck there
sometimes when im panicking I use the flash like kadeem 😭😭
The fact that im iron 3 and losing makes me wanna requestion my entire life😢
i have over 1 mil otp mastery, consider myself an expert with my champ and a jungle menace, ive been bronze 2 twice, but now im back at iron 4, even though im still tearing it up. I truly blame it on the luck of match making. Despite consistent performances, sometimes i win 18 out of 20 matches. sometimes i lose 18 out of 20 matches.
I dont understand how im still in iron and ive grown to resent the game so much for making it this hard to escape the lowest rank.
Playing this much and not learning is quite amazing tbh
But from what i seen is that they dont have the dexterity to click enough
Yeah, he seems slow, and I don't mean that physically, it's like he has to stop and think about what his next action will be, for very action.
I came back to league after playing on and off for a long time (Started in season 2, with a few year breaks between). Exclusively decided to play just one off meta champion and I got flagged for "Smurfing or suspicious something or another" I think they call it smurf queue or something. I don't keep up with the game enough to know the ins and outs.
fun fact im a zoe main with kda of 8,3/2,6/11,6 and still iron 4 sometimes i get to iron 3 haha
OppaiHero is the definition of "Don't tilt your team"
How exactly is it possible to make sure you lose most games while csing really well and not dying? How does he do it?
playing since 2010, before lol i was playing so many games dota lineage etc... when you already know about gaming its easy to play other games
My uncle (20 year difference between him and my dad) played since like season 2, and at one point had sub 100 ELO. The man was uncoachable, not fun to play with, and overall just awful, but after he passed away 2 years ago, I would play with him every day if I could.
I also belong in iron 4, And have been there since I started the game A few years ago. It is lonely down here.
I am plat and anything gold 3 and below I feel like a rampaging god .
support player harstuck iron 3: my mmr and lp gains/losses are genuinely terrible - I gain an average of 16-20 lp eac win, and lose 20-36 per loss. I' once started at the cusp of iron I, played 10 games, and managed to lost 198 lp and gain 23, ending the day on the edge of demotion into iron 4. I do genuinely try to learn, and I know I'm not the *best* player, but those gains are not???
I really do enjoy the game, and I enjoy trying to get better - and I've def. come a long way! But it's v frustrating to grind when it feels impossible to.
if u not joking then go play pyke supp or switch to a carry role. Trying to support trash can only get u so far with that LP rate.
Iron really is a rank you have to try hard to get down into. Honestly I'm not one of those "just buy a new account" types but if you genuinely are trying to learn and want to improve and the rank + the lp gains are that bad I would just buy a new account or level one if you dont want to buy.
Last time I played ranked was cause a friend wanted to duo with me before iron exsisted ended up in bronze 1 aftera few days of play, played one match of ranked recently and went like 30/1 and won but got put in iron 4, so thats how I became the legendary 1%
I can't believe Riot made a special ed rank. That's fucking wild.
We all need a friend like Kadeem
after 5 years i played this game again , and omg , 0 vision control , 0 strategy , no lane style , after my third kill , enemy started to jump on me 5 v 1 alllll time and my team !!! they didn't even got a turret when 5 of em was on me all time !! and i was like wth is this ?!!! as i remember years ago bronze , silver was sooo much better than what i see now .
as someone who jumped from iron 4 all the way to silver 3 out of pure sheer will, and please take this with a grain of salt, whenever you hit your first loss after a win streak, stop playing, step back, take a breather, and then come back when you're ready. to all the irons out there, you can get out, i believe in you
"what do you do for fun?" - I gatekeep people in Iron IV 💀
I had to support a 3m mastery ashe in plat 4 on a fresh account. I was amazed the player was able to get out of bronze, the complete lack of mechanics and macro was baffling.
When I was still relatively new to the game around lvl 50, I stomped a 6 million mastery Draven in a normal game. Before that I would be worried about mastery level, but that taught me that some people are playing in my games for a reason.
I’ve got a friend who is authentically iron IV. I was on discord and asked him to stream his game. Game started and I left for 30 seconds to grab a drink and came back to him being one shot with no sums (he was bot). I asked wtf happened and he said him and the other bot traded sums now they are both backing… 3 seconds later I see their bot full hp and not backing 😂😂😂. The dudes so oblivious. He just gives hp and sums and thinks it’s a good trade
Had a 30yr old friend that I used to play with that was was iron 4 on purpose so he could have fun in the game. He hates having to be competitive in the game and prefers to just try goofy builds or strats. I wouldn’t mind losing LP when playing with him because he was fun to talk to and be around.
i went from bronze 4 to iron 3 in 2 weeks and have, while i was whole last year b4+ (1 time b1 100 lp) .
So is kadeem some type of persona or is he really that flatline of a human?
I flashed to confuse them 😂
Imagine playing SR in 2024. Join the ARAM master race my brothers.
As someone who is legitimately iron 4 (peak iron 2) this video makes me proud to be in such an exclusive rank
i do truly believe that if he found someone who can coach him and truly make him understand mechanics then he can get into atleaaast silver on na if not gold
Nope, he obviously has a mental deficiency. Its not like hes not trying
I am third side of the coin. Trapped between the two sides.
I actually got into iron for a week as i went into rank just starting league, i got out within a week and im around gold now, so kinda surprised its supposed to be hard to escape it.
It's not, but the people unironically in Iron are the ones not even attempting to get better at the game.
Why do these people play it even though they don't get better? No idea.
I'm about to hit Diamond in a few days I suppose and I gotta say, been a nice trip.
It took you an entire week? How many games was that
@@jarlbalgruuf2415 like 20 or 30 I think it was when I started afterall
@@Chrissy717 From what I've seen, Iron players just treat ranked like it's their version of aram or competitive aram. They're not playing league to improve, to learn the game, they just find lux or zyra or ashe or evelynn or jinx or w/e really fun and cool and like the way the champ looks and sounds and they're just playing to experience the champ in its most basic form. They're not trying to work on cs'ing better, not trying to lane better, learn matchups, build better, team fight better, nothing. They just want to queue up for league, play a character in a video game they really like much like they're playing an RPG game, and just brain off chill.
@@YuYuYuna_ which is weird as hell, cause you could do that in normals.
