You only get to say someone is bad if you are higher than Platinum IV and are speaking relatively. Because bad means worse than average and that's not true statistically. Only in relation to another player who is higher rank.
That's a fair point, but what it is, to me, is still trash talking players. If you're good you're good, and then what you are being is a sore winner. I mean, if you're good, you shouldn't need to put other people down but that's what people do. Me, I do not care because I know the truth. But I know a lot of people get put off by such things and frankly, they are right to be put off by it.
Bottom line is Platinum players are completely above average players. You might be better than average and call another better than average player who is worse than you bad. But on an absolute basis, that is factually wrong.
Oh, and you are also definitely wrong about not getting kills, assists and placements. You can absolutely get all three on a regular basis and not go up in rank.
