CLG team discussion against DL, arguing that MiG did not have good comps they just lost to bad play or the comps, specifically the Sivir and Malphite comp, they had were the same as everyone else was running. I'm not sure why they think what Xpecial said about Lebanc beating Xerath is dumb, it seems like she would.

People have such narrow views of elo
Under 1700 BAD
Above 1900 PRO
under 1200 SUPERBAD

there's lots more variation than that

As twodown said, even 1200 players are good in the scheme of things

I would say the following, having played consistently with people at all elos from 700 to 2200
Under 700 - probably just playing to enjoy the game. Might not fully understand why some items are bad on some champs
700-1000 - lacking some fundamentals like map awareness or last hitting. May excel at other things though (I've seen 800 elo players that were dominant laners who just couldn't make good decisions or account for anything outside of their lanes)
1000-1200 - either players that are well rounded and just good, or players that are better than good but only at select matchups which they abuse
Bronze - likely very good at 1 position and average at best at others. Usually very good at 1 of the following: farming, laning, last-hitting, filling roles, teamfighting, map control
Silver - dominant players who know correct builds, timings, but lack knowledge of matchups and counters. Probably not good at ending a game. Inconsistent.
Gold - very good players who don't know what they can improve to become even better, or lack consistency to rise in the ladder. These players usually have extremely detailed knowledge about all matchups for a couple champs it even a couple riles. This elo is also where the worst attitudes start appearing
1700-plat: more consistent gold players. Won't derp away a lane or a big lead very often.
Plat: usually masters of a couple champs or at the least, very above average in all roles. Know when they can win an engage, and don't engage when they can't win. If you put 5 1900 players together and let them practice together for a month, they will beat 5 random top 50 players every time - the actual skill difference is not that great past this point, it's more of a lack of refinement and split-second decision making and comfort.
2100+: ragers.
2300+: doublelift alts

All elos think that (a) everyone below them, even people 10 elo belowthem, are HORRIBLE at the game, and (b) think that everyone above them, even 500 elo above them, is a worse player that got lucky. The higher you rise in elo the more conceited the players get, starting at 1400s who think "I could be plat if it weren't for feeders" all the way 1800s "I am gods gift to lol and the rain man is TERRIBLE at this game TSM SIGN ME"

I think he's gonna be some kind of rival seeing as the newspaper in the picture seems like Heim, who knows.

Jatt never did say what he thought the counters to Xerath were. TSM thinks it's Leblanc and Kassadin. I think they may have said one more, but I forget. Though what about Morganna vs Xerath, shield his stun, can farm fairly safely with her W.
