      ​@ouroboros4664 what does this comment accomplish? It's very likely that OP did really get better at the game, and pointing out that "everyone is elo inflated" does nothing but bring them back down mentally. How about we congratulate people for the small wins instead of tearing them down? Beyond that, this kind of mindset is toxic to the self, too. Be proud of yourself if you climb too, and don't think abt how you are actually a lower elo or that you don't deserve it! That's the whole point of the beginning of this video.

    I like the new segment, I think a lot of lower elo players find it hard to realise what the high elo players are doing because they havnt even learned these concepts yet, having a breakdown and a clear comparison could make fundamentals like fog of war way more accessible to low elo players, because just looking at a beifeng vod isnt gonna get a silver qiyana to abuse fog of war. But explaining it and showing it makes it much easier to spot in the future.

    I liked Nathan's point at 16:04 about how most people have reached a point where they previously thought they would be satisfied with but upon reaching that goal start to strive for something even greater. This season my goal was to hit emerald with Jarvan. I hit emerald last split but only because I mainly played Maokai and Sejuani who were quite strong for most of the season. Jarvan is my favorite character, but I had a very poor win rate with him last split, so I wanted to try and get better at him in 14-1. I placed plat 3 and hit emerald 4 after 10 games of just Jarvan. It was kind of anticlimactic that I reached my split goal in the first week. My new goal was to not demote so I continued with the process. After a couple more weeks I found myself at diamond 4. I demoted and promoted back and forth 3-4 times before a recent win streak that brought me to within 1 win of diamond 3. I hovered around that mark to several blocks in a row and started to get frustrated that I couldn't win to get to D3.
    That's when I took a step back and reminded myself that my goal just two months prior was to reach emerald 4. I was doing great and shouldn't get so upset about not being able to hit D3. I was also reminded of something Coach Curtis talked about a while ago. When he posed the question about what our climbing expectations should be. One division a month? Well that's gold 4 to diamond 4 in 12 months. Just one division every 3 months is a whole rank each year which I would be very happy with. I told myself I should expect and anticipate setbacks, loss streaks, 'unwinnable' games. They're all part of the journey. Keeping that in mind has helped me avoid frustration and just look forward to improving from the losses to help me continue my climb.

    Hi all. Avid listener (audio only) who also uses CZcams for other things. I wish that the podcast was separate from Curtis Clip Corner and this new video segment. It does not make for good audio content, and its not clear when it will begin/end if I want to reference back to it later or skip by it.
    I think any video segments would be better as a standalone CZcams clip. It would make it easier for me - an audio lister - to find and enjoy it. You could even consider using them to entice CZcams subs - ex. subscriber only content.
    Keep up the good work, I love the podcast - that segment just really deserves to be on video to be best understood, and detracts from the audio experience in its current distribution format.

    I talked to the guy that did the silver 4 to plat in under 20 days and he did have a pretty long competitive gaming background. Played a lot of counterstrike I think. Essentially his baseline play level was probably closer to plat and if you're still working through iron or bronze or silver I wouldn't worry about it.

    Ι haven't watched the entire video but I want to comment early so that you guys will see this comment. I want to say thank you for doing your best in this podcast and really presenting your best selves. The words heard in the first part of the podcast I think were really important for people to hear. Showing a bit about the "behind the scenes" of Curtis' life makes everybody's journey so much more meaningful. Seeing the person who I have looked up to for years - and still feel so thankful for - struggle is a really powerful moment that I am not sure with what words to describe except for "positive". Just as Nathan said, hardships like these really are true, and instead of getting complacent with our journeys (since "even your idol feels like shit"), I feel like this is one more reason to strive for your goals and express your best self in all ways shapes and forms.
    Thank you Curtis, Nathan, and everybody who read this, and let's keep doing our best, as we all have our own journey!

    Sticks really hard with me recently. I hit diamond after chasing it for 8 YEARS, and yeah it felt good to finally achieve it, but it didn't last. I thought it was the #1 thing that could instill unshakable confidence in myself, but that couldn't be any further from the truth. Achieving is cool, but just as the cliche' saying goes: It's about the journey, not the destination.

The shiny titles and achievements are really just as temporary as the day-to-day activities we decide to partake in, so enjoy what you do TODAY.

    The first chapter in this is so real.
    Curtis, I think you should check out the book "Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic-and What We Can Do About It" by Jennifer Wallace.
    While it's focused on American kids of today, it's been an eye opening read for me even as a childless millennial. It has been helping me unpack and process my own toxic achievement mindset (not that I'm cured of it, but I've gained a new understanding and can see the problem now). It has concepts that can be related back to league, our own negative inner monologues, and comparing ourselves to others.

    in chess you more think in how many lines could they opt to go for and calculate based on that, when you are good enough at chess then there might only be 3 to 4 moves an opponent can reasonably make at any given point, and then if they would make one of those moves you would calculate where that "line" would lead, so its more like thinking on the 10th order with several different lines so 4 branches 10 long so to speak but you can definitely apply this concept to league

    I absolutely agree on the point Curtis makes about understanding what you are trying to do instead of how. I've been trying to get better st invading and counter jungling, so I went back to playing BelVeth (mained her for almost 6 months after her release). I had a game a couple of days ago where we had a very fed Varus, but the enemy team had Vi, Malzahar, ChoGath, so I figured my best bet was to be the engage first, so they are forced to ult me, while giving Varus space to free fire. Problem was Varus didn't want to fight. He was taking tier 2 top while Vi Malz are flanking him and he didn't even think about turning, so when I turned he didn't notice and I died for nothing. After a few fights like that I understood that he's not interested in grouping and teamfighting despite my efforts to make space for him, but I still wanted to draw pressure to me instead of him. So I started side laning. I knew I couldn't be beaten 1v1, so I kept forcing multiple members to me and let him do what he wanted to do without forcing fights near him. Same concept, different execution

    Shame about your level of play in League is pretty rampant in the below platinum experience. One of my recent teammates added me after a block and I thought, "It's the end of my block, let's see what he's got to say." He said that I was so bad that I should NEVER queue ranked again. He looked up my opgg and saw that I placed Bronze in season 13 split 1 (I started playing in season 12) and he was shocked to find "a genuine bronze player." Of course it didn't matter that I'm gold now and so is he as I will "never improve beyond a bronze level."
    I felt bad for him. The amount of SHAME he must have for being gold is astounding. He must be so LOST in his journey to the point he's contacting his teammates after the game to find any little thing that he's "better" at and then ridiculing them.
    I blocked him rather than directing him to Broken by Concept. Couldn't be bothered to be honest!

    Bit off topic from the video but, I recently revisited HotS since it's easier to digest for my friends who are really new to MOBAs as a whole. While playing though, I realized HotS feels better than League if you take the term MOBA literally not so much for being "Massive" but more for the "Battle Arena" aspect.
    But comparing HotS and League, I noticed the map is substantially smaller and more objective focused. Which has made me wonder if League could benefit from a smaller 5v5 map

    Rank this season is in such a weird place, with the addition of Emerald, many hardstuck players (such as myself) got boosted up a division and as good as it should feel to finally hit that milestone after years of playing.. It comes out as a cheap reward and feels unwarranted. I now find myself seeking the tier above it just to compensate with this illusion of improvement.
    For my background, I had been Gold since season 7, floating around G3 to G1 for many seasons playing casually as a toplaner, now with the addition Emerald, I can easily exist in plat and went up to plat 1 last split, but it is honestly so hard to say if I’ve improved at all or if this game is just shoving me a brand new rank to make me feel better. I’m currently sitting at 70% winrate over 35~ games on P4, I’ll be once again aiming for Emerald this split and only after hitting it will I feel like I have improved at all from my general gold skill level.

    Something that nobody talks about when it comes to talent is that you objectively learn things faster when you are younger than 8 years old. Theta brain waves stop at about this age and you only really get them while you are sleeping after this point. Some people start skills/games before 8 years old and have had their brain physically mold around that skill/game. Faker has been playing competitive strategy games since he was very young. So he learns more champs faster cause he is literally built to play the game.
    Most people either lean too much into talent as a concept, and use it to demonize themselves. (ie: I'll never be good enough, I'll never beat these talented people)
    Or they go the opposite and say talent doesn't exist at all. Try to discredit it ect.
    It's environment. It's just the same thing that causes us to have other mental strengths or weaknesses. It's not genetic, it has never been genetic. It also exists, but it's not just some magic number.
    ...and of course "talented" people who have found success work extremely hard

      About the same but less compressed so barriers aren't as hard. Gold 1 vs plat 4 is no longer a canyon because the old plat 1-3 players are emerald now along with the bad d4 players.

    51:08 actually, no. At least not at first. Faker was one of the worst in his friend group when they were into a fighting game (according to the gbay doc on YT). The difference is Faker, well, he seems to genuinely love the process of learning and mastery, especially of puzzles and games. He's a freak of dedicated, quality hard work. Those types are not uncommon but put them in the right environment and given enough luck and support, they can go far.
    ... As you basically later state. It's the rigor and rapid learning cycle.

    what if they implement a system where they randomly drop a gold player (basically any rank under gm) in a challenger game, and neither side will gain/lose lp if the 5-chal side beat the 4 chal side. However, if the 4-chal side beat the 5-chal side, the winner wins 2x and loser loses 2x lp. Additionally, you'll gain more lp carrying a high plat vs carrying a low master, or lose less if you lost to 4-chal + low master than 4-chal + high plat. The carried player has to sign up for this, and won't lose or gain lp no matter what happens. Challengers will also only get games like this every maybe 20 games. Maybe it'll speed up their q time, and humble the majority of the player base lol

    Very good episode. I'm emerald but I feel like I'm really low elo when actually emeral is medium elo. I think there's a narrative perpetuated by pro players and league content creators that even masters is "pisslow". To them I'm sure it is! For the average player though and taking into account percentages gold or plat even is a solid rank. Ofc any rank is fine cause that's your journey but I just find it funny that even high elo and pretty good players are considered bad. What's not factored in is all these content creators, CZcamsrs, streamers etc and ofc pro players ... they live in a bubble and play at the highest level. The real raw percentages of ranks is suprising, for instance Gold bracket is top 40%.

    • @KD-_-
      @KD-_- Před 4 měsíci

      Masters is high enough to win lane against challenger if playing a good matchup and not getting camped.
      Challenger games literally have masters players as roster fillers. They're not as good but it's not completely out of reach.

      % are not significant. Too many casuals and trolls inflate numbers
      I am unranked and I beat gold, emerald and plats on a regular basis. I even once got a friend request from a GM asking for my rank because I stomped him in lane (he was practicing Quiyana, not with his main). I know is not the same but it is an example on how many factors may have a higher impact in game than your Rank

    • @hadessonofcronus1826
      @hadessonofcronus1826 Před 4 měsíci

      ​@@sebastiantroncoso2958 I think percentages can be taken seriously.
      Casual players are still players because if they're playing ranked they're automatically competitive as they are playing a competitive gamemode. Why are bronze or iron players casual for instance. They're not necessarily they are just below average. You could say a casual player is someone who takes it less seriously maybe? or puts less time into it which is fair but I don't think that's enough to negate %'s
      I'm a bit confused on your unranked argument because if you're unranked then you're playing normals against these players? If that's the case then that's no way to evaluate your rank or skill level since normals aren't serious at all, or at least compared to ranked. A GM support player isn't a GM mid player, maybe they're low plat for instance - this is even true for different types of champions considering what they main.
      I think too that you're using unranked like it's something where you're below iron even, you're not even ranked when you could be a solid player but you've never decided to measure your rank or skill which is what playing ranked does. You could easily be a plat player for instance, saying you're unranked is pretty meaningless ... just means you haven't discovered what your rank/skill level is.

      @@hadessonofcronus1826 if masters is attainable, then challenger level skill in some aspects of the game is attainable.
      The full package of a challenger or competitive level player is what is elusive. You will find masters level players who have mechanics or wave management at the challenger level but are deficient somewhere else and that's why they're not GM or Challenger.
      This difference is more subtle than differences between gold, silver, and plat players because as you move up the ladder small advantages start to matter more.

    The more I hear your podcast the more I realize how different LAS server experience can be.
    Here, poor connection can make your game go 4v5 so frequently that you wouldn't believe it. Also, the average player plays from a potato pc, so your Brand support may not be a bad player, but there is a high possiblity that his pc performs so bad that he can't even position himself to press R in a team fight.
    Of course, you have to add the usual toxicity and ragr quitting, making LOL the most miserable experience you can imagine.
    All of that make people don't commit to their games. No joke that 7/10 ranked games you will have an AFK for the first 2 or 3 mins because they just don't care and your team will vote "no" to remake because they juat dont care.
