As you climb the ranks, around masters level, sometimes even high diamond, you will notice basically the same people in your games 50% of the time, or you’ll notice a name you see quite often. People at higher ranks have the weakest mentals I have ever seen. The second that something doesn’t go their way, it’s straight to typing why the team is shit and the “alt” account they’re playing in masters has worse games than they do in high GM. (The game quality of masters is worse than GM? Who could have guessed that) Also any GM player will quickly tell you that your rank is inflated and you don’t deserve the rank you have even though they haven’t improved in years and can’t win games in masters lobbies even though they’re “GM1”. The toxicity just feels so much worse than lower ranks cause everyone knows each other. It is not something that I have enjoyed experiencing as I climbed the ranked system.

I am sure any other high ranked players can agree it is a cesspool. Yes I know that every rank is toxic but it very targeted in high ranks.
