It's a personal opinion thing

little hare
#

most people consider diamond4+ high elo anything else low elo

#

plat can be considered a low elo

brisk mural
#

Challenger players will think Diamond players are low elo
Iron players will think Gold players are high elo

little hare
#

or a mid elo

#

^^^

#

chall players have such a huge skill gap that they don't see players who are diamond or even masters as actually being good

#

but a lot of it is just an ego thing and most of the community and riot has settled on d2+/d4+

I consider d1+ to be high elo, it’s all about perspective, challenger players don’t consider master players to be even relevant so, it is what it is

#

No to both questions

#

The real high elo starts around 500 points at least

#

Whole Master is just a replacement of high Diamond in past seasons

tacit ice
#

I think high masters is high elo, like past 350lp maybe (I am not there)

lost mantle
#

Trust me it's not 😅

#

I have own experience and I can say that some individuals doesn't deserve to be there at all

#

Queue quality doesn't feel good in 50% of the games

Im gonna be honest. Anyone that has played in gm+ games can tell low masters still are trash and dont know what they are doing. So i do think masters is hard to get to but in all honesty the players are still bad so its hard to say its high elo when gm and challenger are just completely different levels

#

The higher elo you get the smaller the range of what people consider “high elo” becomes - a lot of challenger players can think diamond-masters are pisslow but to the majority of players diamond is already top tier

#

But statistically, yeah plat is high elo - majority of players are gold below

Plat mid elo

#

No reason to put so many ranks in the low elo category

lost mantle
#

Don't ask me why

cunning jackal
#

Both are definitely mid elo imo. The barrier or buffer zone between high and low elo.

lost mantle
#

There's no such thing 😅

@brisk murali see the new d1 is master

#

thanks for the link

#

d1 was top 0.19% s9

#

now master is top 0.20%

#

As a low master creature I can confirm the games are not that high quality lol

#

I think i've heard/read somewhere (so i'm not that credible) but i remember reading somewhere that most average lol players are gold and below (NA specific maybe?) so i do think reaching plat is a bit high elo as there is also a chance for you to play against a low diamond player.

#

High gold/plat mid
Everything below low everything above high

#

Is how I go about this

#

Because from my experience there's a certain distinction between high gold players and the monkeys from silver

#

Not that much better

#

But atleast people try to think

#

top 2k on ladder is high elo

#

so like masters+

shut pewter
#

d2 above

#

historically the cut off people used to make was d2, which back then was top 2k

#

d2 now is like d5

#

in terms of ladder distribution

i think only people who've peaked GM think GM and Challenger are especially better than Masters. Masters is dogwater but if you think the two above it are "completely different levels" it's just because you're bad and got bodied by them. It's like a gold player thinking plats are "on a completely different level". They're just marginally better. You don't see ZOMG GOD players until like top 50, but even then it's more so incidental, the real reason they are there is they're consistent and have good mentals. their actual game understanding or mechanics aren't always eye popping

the problem is that ppl dont even use the term mid elo, the difference between plat/low diamond to iron-silver is so big but every1 puts it in the lowelo section , i guess a plat in bronze is a not a smurf since they are all low elos

#

I consider Iron 4-Gold1 low elo, Platinum 4-Diamond1 mid elo Master-Challenger high elo

unkempt hearth
#

Im going to give the official and most widespread response. Iron 4-Gold 1 is low elo. Platinum 4-Diamond 3 is mid elo. Diamond 2-Challenger is high elo

#

But the difference in skill between a diamond 2 player and a challenger player is unreal

#

Also the difference between a gold and a diamond player is huge so the term mid elo is useful

#

I feel like a dog pissed on my shoe just thinking i could be referred to with the same term as a gold player

lost mantle
#

Everything below Master and even Master nowadays could be considered as low

unkempt hearth
#

Just use the damn term mid elo for fucks sake

#

How hard is it

#

I didnt go to fucking diamond to be lumped up with unicef children

lost mantle
#

This is first time I'm hearing mid elo in past 6 years

#

But if you need to hear it to feel better about you then sure 😅

unkempt hearth
#

Past 6 years? Riot drops it around in their patch notes every now and then

#

Also yes it would make me feel much better if you called me that

#

Better to do some good in this world at least when its free

lost mantle
#

It's just a fact

#

That's all

unkempt hearth
#

Fact?

#

That diamond is low elo?

lost mantle
#

Yep

unkempt hearth
#

U know whats a fact?

#

That you are a master+ player and YOU are the one trying to feel better bout yourself by calling the rest of us low elo

#

To make up

#

For the thousands of hours spent

lost mantle
#

I literally said Master is low as well?

unkempt hearth
#

Then who the fuck isnt low? 300 people per server?

#

Thats just ridiculous

lost mantle
#

500+ points

unkempt hearth
#

And how many points do you have

lost mantle
#

Why?

unkempt hearth
#

Just tell me, if you are high you have nothing to fear obviously, if you are low idc since gold and below is not our topic

#

If you are indeed actually low i promise i wont say anything

lost mantle
#

I'm 250 points and I consider my rank being low

#

It's just a fact dude

unkempt hearth
#

Well

#

I hope you reach a non low point some day

#

Wherever that may be

#

Because i got a feeling that if you ever reach 500 lp you will keep saying the same shit

lost mantle
#

Not really

#

I've been there and I know how quality of games are above GM

#

It's new universe

Can't even cope with what you've said 5 minutes ago

tacit ice
#

Gives good point

unkempt hearth
#

Its as simple as having your work recognized, sure im not worth a dime compared to a master+ player but a gold and below player isnt worth a dime compared to me. There is a reason there are tiers from bronze to challenger

#

And not low elo high elo

unkempt hearth

#

Same logic could be applied to d2 to chally but no one bats an eye apprently except some of us who have been playing for years

lost mantle
#

Sure?

#

I haven't done anything to you

tacit ice
#

D2 compared to chally is dogwater but people call both high. So I don’t see the issue with calling iron to dia etc. low

lost mantle
#

You're being angry about being called mid in a game

tacit ice
#

Especially when us qualifying in those call ourselves low too

Im proud of it since i started from bronze 5

#

Then some guy comes and calls everyone below grandmaster low elo

dusty plinth
#

So why should that matter to u

unkempt hearth
#

For a while it made me feel annoyed because it felt like someone spitting at all my hard work

#

Then i realised it indeed doesnt matter what a random on the internet says to me

#

And got off

Until i got pinged again

#

definitely a perspective thing, but in general i think people assume diamond+ is high elo, gold - plat are like average players, and silver and below are low elo

dusty plinth
#

Statistics wise silver is average but

#

The average American probably can’t point to america on a map and I wouldn’t use that as the standard for what is good and bad

#

Diamond 2+ seems like a fine cutoff to me

lost mantle
#

hearty glacier
#

in my opinion mid elo is plat2-d2

#

anything below plat2 is low elo

#

anything above d2 is high elo

unkempt hearth
unkempt hearth
# hearty glacier anything below plat2 is low elo

This is very perspective of you, not many people realise there is a significant difference in skill between plat 4 and 3 players and plat 2 and 1 players, just like in diamond. That is why you can find a large amount of pure hardstuck players in the 4-3 brackets of plat and dia

hearty glacier
#

yeah well theres a significant difference in skill between silver 4 3 2 1 gold 4 3 2 1 plat 4 3 2 1 diamond 4 3 2 1 etc so i dont really care

#

thats just my thoughts on where mid elo is

unkempt hearth
#

See i dont think that applies for the other brackets. Idk about masters+ never been there

#

But i was in low elo once and i boost a lot of accounts there

#

I wouldnt say theres a clear cut diff between 4-3 div and 2-1 div players in gold and below

#

Again this is irrelevant to the original point and just my opinion after playing there

dusty plinth
#

I don’t think there is much of a diff between a plat 3 and a plat 2 tbh
