League ranked players bashing on higher ranked players.

Don't bash on higher elo players cause you are lower elo and you happen to do better.

TL;DR:

I'm Gold 1 and was platnium last season. Soon to be Platnium this season, but something that I have noticed while climbing back up while duoing with my Silver friend is that a lot of players like to bash the higher ranked players for various reasons. Now its league I understand the community isn't exactly the nicest, but some of these arguments people have are just downright dumb. I remember our top laner saw my rank from last season and this season. She was silver 1 and got fed off the enemy top laner. I was just doing average probably something like 2/2 or 2/3 not feeding nor getting fed. She sees my score and just goes. "Wow, you're gold 1 and im doing better than you. Most high gold players suck anyway." This threw me off since it was out of nowhere and I wasn't even doing bad. I've seen stuff like this happen a lot. Even in normals which its a lot worse. They see I was plat or that i'm gold and they go SUPER TRY HARD mode. Me being in normals im more laid back and just kinda having fun messing around. They win lane against me because they are trying to have the perfect cs and to outplay and punish me every second they get. They get a kill or two and go "Dang Gold players suck" Most of the people who say these things arn't even gold or any higher. Basically what I'm getting across here is that some games you may be matched with or against a higher ranked player. Sometimes this player is not having as much of a good game as you or they are just kinda relaxing and having fun. This does not mean they are bad. They got their rank by playing the game and had to have some skill to get where they were especially if it is plat or higher. They didn't just afk and hope to still win. If you see someone who is a higher ranked than dont expect them to make godly plays and to 1v5 every teamfight. They are good players not hackers and that is something a lot of people don't get. They also don't harnass godlike mechanics every second of the game. They arn't robots either so they can't just do the same thing every game and carry you or pummel you into the ground. Some games they are just the average player and there are countless reasons for why that is. Don't assume your automatically better than a certain rank purely cause you saw 1 bad player in that rank or beat a player in that rank. Not everyone is gonna get fed every game when they are a high rank .

I've seen a lot of this happen to other higher elo players and it is the only thing that makes me rage. If they are any other higher elo players that read this has this happened to you? I don't know if I just get the arrogant players, but its happened more than once.
