I got matched up against a team whose lowest elo was 2000 back in season 2. Needless to say my butt felt raw after that game. as a silver player who teams with low gold players in arranged 5s, we've stomped teams with plats and diamonds. | ||

If you're not prepared to have your anus torn asunder by people better than you then don't play ranked 5s. There's nothing to stop you from just 5 queuing in Normal Draft to practice fundamentals if you don't want a bunch of ranked losses. Ewww normal draft It's like the mess of blindpick but with added tryhardiness | ||

A team with random high elo players would lose every time to a team of coordinated but lower elo players. I've seen this time and time again. 5's is a completely different game than solo queue, there's a separate body of knowledge that needs to be learned no matter how high elo you are. | ||

I call B.S. a team of random plats will always win vs a team of silvers, does not matter the coordination. If you're silver you have no game sense, 5 people with no game sense is still no game sense. | ||

The skill difference between silver and plat is pretty cataclysmic. A plat person playing in silver can easily have an 80% win rate, now with 5 plats, it really doesn't take any effort. | ||

That does not mean that plats have some unbeatable skill over silvers. | ||

This is true up to a point - A team with all Diamond 1's has a hard time losing vs anyone not in Diamond, as laning/teamfighting is usually way too 1 sided. The lower skilled team has to pull off really good ganks/coordinated plays, which is really hard to do when every lane is losing or at best going even. | ||

You really need to put something like this into perspective though. 5 diamonds vs 5 plats, sure the "lower" elo team here definitely has a possibility of winning with better coordination. But 5 diamonds vs silvers and/or golds? They won't make it out of laning phase strong enough to make use of their coordination. Elo isn't a be all, end all but it is still a metric of some sort. | ||

Just to echo others, I've played with friends who are all gold/plat and we've been able to beat teams of low diamonds due to better coordination. But the few times we've gone up against people in mid-high diamond we've been stomped. Even if we make plays and are more coordinated with early dives/skirmishes and such, we simply just get out-laned hard and lose due to snowball. | ||

I really hope you can do this, there's definitively some stuff that loses its impact if spoiled (much like the first game). But yeah both Bioshock games (there are only two right? hue) are easily in my top games of all time. | ||
