-bronze: its like that weird party you got invited to that you had no idea they were giving out edibles and doing acid at.
-Silver: most people here have realized they need to focus on a few personal things in order to climb and have just accepted their skill level to a degree.
-Gold: You finally made it out! now to plat....Fuck.....Fuck....fuck.....WHY IS MY TEAM SHIT?! I SHOULD BE IN FUCKING PLAT BY NOW?! finally realizes they are still shit and need to fix their positioning and at least attempt to either use comms or listen to comms and combo some ults.
-Plat: Relapse of gold. they finally dug their way out, gained some confidence. they go on a streak till about 2700, and then Fuck....fuck....FUCK!!! and so on same as gold. Magically realize they are still the main reason they aren't climbing and start putting in some more effort to focus and have good positioning, and awareness of not only the enemy like they did to get into plat, but awareness of their team, and cooldowns of both enemy and friendlies.
-Diamond: You're mechanical skill or your game sense (only one of the 2 or a shallow combination of both) has reached a sort of plateau. You are good at your favorite chars and can generally predict the flow of a game to a certain level, and occasionally make your move solo and turn a game in your favor with pure skill or decision making. But "your team is still shit." and "your team's picks are fuckin retarded" and "omg this support isn't even healing me"
-Masters: One of 2 things has happened. You either leveled up your gamesense and/or found a freakish increase in your mechanical skills, OR you found some people that you work really well with and can control the flow of a match with easily. Its party time.
-GM: Another weird party you got invited to where occasionally someone busts out a few grams of cocaine and everyone gets fucked.
and by cocaine i mean the random t500 player with a t300+ ranking gets cued with a bunch of GM's and destroys them all.
