I need to save this to my favorite gifs on discord

yeah then we're on the same page

by "them" do you mean that the lower-level players need to prove themselves? if so I agree

imo skills/tiers leads to complacency (and an aversion to challenging higher-level opponents) more often than not, and that is a bigger problem than whatever "gatekeeping" is going on

if they think they're at some higher level, then prove it those people

the reputation growth will come with that

I went from ~D8 to D4 within 4 months off of these things, so it is the best method (outside of just being a soloq carrying warlord) that I've seen for climbing out of low-level fast

genius

???

double wait this team now has THE pika and THE lunaaa this is kinda unfair

gotta go add the whiprays to my list of my favorite low-level teams now

wait this is so huge

it can be individual players as well, we have a channel to form groups for scrims

yeah you can just hang out, or you get a role so people can ping you to scrim up (we need more of the latter if you're willing)

we must raise the line at all levels of play, not just at the top (although it is very important there as well)
