Hello @B3ntar
It's beyond who's better than who. "Better" players or players with "5 times their KDR" should know to mentor less skilled players especially when you know they are 5 steps lower than your skill level. After all, it's a team based game regardless if preference is to have a pre-made squad or not.
I've been in squads plenty of times where a Master player (Specifically Master players) would die first because it's in their head that they are better and want to 1v59 the entire lobby. Even worse, they don't say anything until they die, and when they die, they call us trash but we're alive and doing work. They literally leave the team and do things on their own rather than LEAD. If Master players and Preds have to bear the unfortunate queue with noobs, they should lead them to victory because they have the experience right? and also...because it's a team based game. Not sure if I mentioned that. But I guess it's not their business and blaming due to SBMM is much much better.
That's a scenario right? So in general SBMM as a whole still needs to have rework to further mitigate issues of the whole lobby being saturated with one too many High skilled players, or low skilled players in high skilled lobbies for farming/boosting purposes. People have to learn this game. It's unfair to call out or shame a less experienced player...they clearly have to learn and it takes time.
Maybe it's bragging rights, that's fine, but others still need to learn. How dope would it be if since you're just better, you can teach them a thing or two. You would then alleviate some growing pains because now they are encouraged to learn and one day they will be in your shoes. I've had preds in my team and for the most part they are pretty chill and taught me a few things. Because they've had so much time and passing knowledge on to less skilled players provide a much greater benefit and experience rather than calling them trash. High skilled players were trash at one point too. It's what motivated me and eventually got me to diamond. I still have much to learn if I choose to push higher.
I really enjoyed your last post and think "This is the Way"
Wish more players had this type of take and the game and in life.
If I could have given you more XP for you great post I would have.
Thanks for sharing this it is refreshing.
Good luck in the Outlands.
