How A Player Lost The HIGHEST RANK In League of Legends
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 ноя 2021
- League of Legends is one of many games to have a ranked mode. Every year players take this mode very seriously in hopes of reaching the highest ranks. Although being Gold in League of Legends is all that is necessary for getting the end of season rewards, at some point players want more. Challenger is a rank that refers to the very best players in the game. Today we take a look at one player who was minutes away from achieving this goal but it all fell apart due to being a couple minutes late at the end of the ranked season.

Thanks for reading and watching!
Hey that’s me!
People keep asking me why I didn’t climb before the last day and the answer is pretty simple: I have Tennis Elbow.
It’s a condition where the tendon in the elbow is ripping off. So playing was painful, that’s why.
Nice edit btw! You really covered everything it was so nice to watch the whole story and not just the end 🤞
My condolences, you would have deserved it. :(
Stay strong man and continue♡♡
Hey man, I'm happy you liked the video!
It was definitely one of the most interesting end of season runs I've ever seen.
But regardless of what riot says, at the end of the day, you were challenger in our hearts.
I hope your Tennis Elbow recovery goes smoothly.
@@NicolaiLol Thank you so much bro! It’s showing that you work hard on your channel, and why you’re successful, keep it up 🔥
RIP SADGE
I mean i got demoted from silver 2 to 3 yesterday so were kinda on the same level
I agree tbh. Even more painful.
Aww so sad demoting from silver 2 to 3 is the worst thing

It makes it even more infuriating
He did it to force a dodge.
WOW THATS ACTUALLY MESSED UP
sadj
Riot needs to implement a system that, if I game starts BEFORE the cut off for the season, it is counted in that season.
That's how it already works afaik
@@ciriousjoker This video just showed it wasn't. The game finished 2 minutes late, and thus didn't count.
Yeah but wouldnt that move the person at the lowest bottom of challenger to grandmaster then? Cuz Challenger tier has a 300 player limit. If thats the case then it probably wouldnt be fair to those far bottom challenger players, to be moved to GM AFTER ranked goes down
@@jacobparrekar8721 It's fair when the season simply ends after all the games that were started before 2:45pm end. This way the weird unfitting time pressure wouldn't be there + stallers don't get rewarded as much. So still same conditions and chances for everyone, you just have to consider as a player that if you don't queue yourself you can still lose your rank after 2:45pm.
unfair to people who are already top 300
imagine getting pushed out by someone like this...
I was the Orianna it was so sad losing challenger by a couple minutes especially since I was challenger for the entire season and 1 month 1k lp. Great video 👍
I was in the same boat as Johnny I was 1 win from challenger for like 5 hours while constantly getting dodged or people not trying. It was super frustrating and at the end of the day not ending challenger fked with my head with the amount of people trying to deny me. Haven’t played league or streamed in like 20 days. Looking to come back soon. Cheers to s12 being better

@@yuotasaka7275 "ranked" game
I have victorious skin from every season but I am so sick of rank that this will be the first year I won't have one. I just play ARAM and rotating game modes now no stress
I feel for this guy. Really hope it didn't affect him too negatively, sure not getting a rank while putting in so much effort sucks but you tried. He got robbed of it, no honour in high elo. Learned that the hard way myself, too many players get more enjoyment out of fucking with people than playing the game.
Unjust shit like this hurts on a deep level for me personally, had to avoid ranked for a long time now because of it. Winning is fun, having a good game and still losing is fun, but when it is completely out of your control and the gameplay makes no difference... you are just at the mercy of some horrible people. In the end they are the winners and don't give a shit. Sad state of competitive gaming when it is a passion for many.
yeah not good for your mental health.
i feel man. so many rages cuz of this
Yeah feels bad man I rmb there was a bad game on my d3 promos and then my midlaner blamed me for the game when our botlane was 0/10 and then inted me the next 3 of my promos when we chanced upon each other. I should have learned to be like this guy and waited a bit
Sorry, but your rank really doesn't reflect your TRUE skill level. I've been silver for 4 seasons now but I'm easily a platinum level player (minimum). I've played a lot of games against diamonds and can even beat them in ARAM. If I wasn't so busy (I'm a full time photographer) I would EASILY be high diamond.
@@flipf615 okay

Thank you! I'm happy to exceed your expectations!
no one mentions that the "trolling" twisted fate went mvp in the end.
Meta soy slaves brah, that's why.
???????????????????????????????????????? he trolls cus he was denying his team challenger by not ending or baron. Context and brain matter get some
I felt so sorry for that guy, the most moving story I have heard in a while.
He is pathetic takes a video game too seriously to the point of crying
@@lilpp4791 I guess it is nice to be passionate about something now and then. Hell, people cry over football and they may not even be the player!
@@lilpp4791 bruh challenger is no joke he literally grinded pretty hard for the whole year which doesn’t jz take effort it takes a lot of thought and skill and then he lost the last part to gain the “honor” not based on his misdemeanor but because of the other bastards playing this game
You’re weak hearted , moving story?🤡
@@MythicRealTrap k
Honestly this is one of the main reasons, why there is a minority who refuses to play ranked. Am just down right disgusted by the amount of shady shit in the background. Wintrading, boosting, stalling... Worst part is, that it will never stop, since this rat behavior is in our human nature. You either embrace it or you let it go and try to look deeper in to something else than yourself.
I really don't think that that kind of behaviour is really human nature. Seems mostly something that happens in League and it might just be because of how the game or the community is set up.
Well embrace it then so when it happens to you, you care less about the behavior
@@badreddinekasmi8919 yeah i also think that. Btw this kind of things happens only maybe in the high high elo, so most of people don't have those kind of problem. Like no one is wintrading in gold or silver
Bro you will never see it, this only happens occasionally in GM+ silvers int themselves
@@zboobafett5984 Yeah I can see that. I guess it's still a deal breaker for a lot of players who want to get into the game.
I really wish gaming in general was a bit more welcoming to noobs.
This was better that the soap operas we have here in Mexico, you know its bad when a grown man cries
grown man cries = every league player above the age of 18 including me, I still have mental breakdowns over this game at 20...
@@ivailoivanov01 everyone has it, don't worry bro you ain't alone
Just take a moment to think that in another universe he managed to get to challenger with 2 minutes to spare
cant imagine the frustration mans felt
I ain't really a league enjoyer but whenever I talk to my league friends about rank systems, I do always gets confused which rank is higher and to be honest though, tyler is right. I always thought grand master sounds way more awesome than challenger.
challenger does not even make sense as a name.
It has nothing to do with the Lore or anything and neither do you actually challenge anything
@@GameBreaker1055 i agree. who are you even gonna challenge when you are on the top already?
Currently, it goes:
Iron
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Diamond
Master/Grand Master
Challenger
In Diamond and above, your rank actually degrades if you don't play League for a while. I think in Diamond its 28 days, but in Grand Master and Challenger, you have to at least play every 7 days. Used to be platinum was included too, but they dropped this.
I always think challanger is the rank before top. Like, you are challenging the people at the top, who are the grand masters

@@NicolaiLol my dad said that once...
@@shizurokitadashi4160 well you gotta be grateful you even got to see him....
my mouth literally dropped when you showed the other players stalled, damn 😔
I felt so bad for the guy
I love how this video is structured like a true crime video
When the world needed him the most, he came back.
No offense to the high elo players, but high elo seems to be pathetic because of how much trolling and win trading that happens.
I'd rather be low elo than high elo. Though I'm unranked since season 9.
i think its mostly just an NA thing. i think every sever has boosters but NA has boosters, inters, afks, win-trades, stream snipers, scripters and whatever else you can think of. not to mention some of the weakest mental and fairly toxic.
@@ioiwut4874 Yeah probably.
I'm EUNE and EUW servers.
Honestly, the funny thing about this is that you can't do anything about those things and if you do, you get banned.
There's a shit ton of variety of what causes toxicity.
I can't even blame people being toxic anymore.
Not to mention NA high elo seems to carry some of the players with the most overly inflated egos, very similar to OCE.
@@djhinx9586 Yeah true.
It's more common than the eu and I rarely see type of ego there.
Or maybe because I disable chat so I digress.
useless virtual rank, just enjoy the game guys.
i understand how he must feel but to be honest he had like a whole season to ramp up lp and to play better overall. It's not like he could blame his missing success on this timespan of 3-ish hours. He seems to be a good player nonetheless
littellary just f]vckign watch the comment over you and find out why he didnt climb the whole season
The player has a health condition that made it painful to play so it makes sense why he couldn't continuously climb.
@@Klausish i didnt notice that comment. My bad
He climbed to challenger, it's just that every some weeks the lp reset and you are automatically put back in grandmaster, therefore if you want to end the season as challenger you have to grind the last few days
The thing is, in high elo in Diamond and above, your rank degrades if you don't play. In his Elo as Grand Master, his rank degrades every 7 days he doesn't play League. Your rank ofc degrades if you lose games too. He had already achieved Challenger, he just wasn't able to maintain it. Essentially, if you're in the top 300 of all players in your server, you have to dedicate almost every day to League.
Johnny felt like he's running for his life, man. This story is beautiful.
somehow my tears drop.
same
I would end up in a mental hospital if my team trolls me in the Iron to Bronze promotion.
I remember seeing this live from Tylers POV and hoping so much Johnny got it :( Next season bro!
in my opinion he reached challenger Good job bro
imo Challenger sounds like one of the FIRST titles you should get, Grand master is the highest rank you can have in Chess forexample, sounds 10Times cooler
but in league no so ye
love the 10 minutes with no ads
Man it hurts when this happens
I can feel the pressure of this video
I remembered myself playing on season 4 (first time playing league rank) I was on Silver 1 and one more win to go in Gold but the reality was really sad I already win the game but it was too late for 5 minutes then rank frames was given and I remember the victorious skin it was Sivir. 😞
Sorry for my bad grammar. 🤞
You could have been ep 2 of this saga, you should have streamed it
This video made me anxious 😬😬
Great video man so interesting
Made my morning 🌄
Banger video Nicolai!
Thank you my friend!
tyler know how to make people stay positive
same thing happened to me when i was plat 1 with 90LP. people would notice i was super close to reach diamond and troll the fuck out of my games
good work king, love you
what a roller coaster ride of emotions
Maybe it’s different for Challenger, but I’m pretty sure that as long as you’re in game before the cutoff time the game will count.
for challenger it is different bc you need to finish before the ladder updates so if the final ladder updates and you are not there you are out even if u are in a game and would reach challenger after it
damn this happened to me but i went from bronze 1 to bronze 3
Damn, that sucks hard... That's like losing to the champion in Pokemon by 1 health, or doing a raid boss but losing because time ran out and they had less than 1000 health left.
wow one of the best vid i have seen
3:14 damn it really be all down hill from there 😭😭😭 I know that feel
Edit: 3:38 LOL welp that be the best feel
9:34 he's not wrong. challenger sounds like someone starting out for the first time, like a new opponent. Grandmaster sounds like the top
I thought it was meant to represent challenging to be the greatest single/lane player in the world etc etc
*Hes mentally Challenger*
that has always baffled me
When I was starting to play rankeds for the first times I though challanger is lower then master since it would be logical - you are challanging master rank to become one yourself
I take "Challenger" as in challenging for the top spot. You can be a grandmaster or master in something and not be at the top. "Challenger" being people who are in the fight for the Rank 1 spot
i rly dont know why loadingscreens can take longer than 60sec
que time select and loadingscreens often longer than the actual game
literally teared up for this man
So a typical last minute no clutch, he knew the risk he were taking.
6:39 not the twisted fate being rude in the chat, guy called it from the beginning 😂
I just climbed from Iron 1 into Bronze 4 and let me tell you, durring them 5 promotion matches, my nerves were failing me like his.
Hey yo if you have an Iron acc, can I play some games on it? Ill boost it for free.
@@shucayb1532 Nah, i climbed plat and stoped playing :D
new nicolai video poggers :OOOO
that was sad. i hope johnny makes it to challenger next season
I'm in the Bronze for 5 years and I'm happy
To be absolutely honest, Tyler's mentality shows just how rotten the game and the world we live in trully are. If i was on the enemy team and realized my loss, i would have let them win, thinking that they would KICK someone from challenger to earn that spot. Would have been more badass AND more sick than just prolonging the game for the guys beating me.
I know its not fair, but the world needs more people that can lose with grace and shake the opponents hand at the end of a match. Its not about growing up, its about being kinder.
Also these people shouldn't play League. Orianna made a comment about how people were denying her for 5 HOURS and Johny has a tennis Elbow. If the game is causing so much pain and distress, find another one. There are 100000 games out there, you now have both the pain and the frustration.
Hearing him cry made me feel desperate.
Yeah true. Ppl always get toxic when they see those comments, but ur absolutely right. TBH Leagee is such a toxic tryhard diehard game just because of such cretins like Tyler1, this streamer and the enemies in the last game. I know how it feels to miss highest rank by an inch or lose it at the last minute (not in league tho), but if you can't go down with grace and accept defeat like a person, don't be a gollum playing League. We have games that are basically caches of toxic players like roblox, Fortnite etc, they should just stay away from decent games with great lore
It's a competitive game, you see this sorta behavior in all sorts of sports; denying is very common. He looked to also be spamming chat with basically begging which knowing myself would likely make me reinforce the stall as it now becomes a win condition in the hopes he tilts. I blame Riot more than anything, a hard cut-off at 2:45 AM is silly, the time the game started should be what matters not when it ends.
Yeah it sucks for him but its a competitive game. It's really just him getting unlucky because of riot's dumb rules. You also clearly don't watch Tyler1 either if you think he is proof of how "rotten the world is."
Why would you let them win, instead of making them bleed for their victory? if they couldnt end before the time was up, thats on them. its competition, letting them win takes away that said competition.
Yep he's a big baby. The same sort of mind patterns as a jealous child
jamican banana (ivern main) was also in this game and he was also one win away from challenger- it was depressing to watch.
Better than a movie!
Riot 1stly should punish those that hostaged intentionally and 2nd give those players the win so they achieve their goal.
There would be more happy players if Tyler1 said
Gold 😀
Platinum 😕
Thank you! Challenger has ALWAYS sounded like the second to last rank instead of the final rank.
old video, but im curious what happens if u are mid match when season resets? does the match get cancelled?
PS: i dont play league, only valo
He is a challenger in our eyes.
And our hearts
I was also pushing for gold for the skin. I made it mid season, but dropped later in the season I have been stuck in s2 since I dropped abut then managed to make back to s1 and then to promos a week before pre seaso, lost the promos and went into a lose Streak declining back to silver 2 0 lp. Now season ended and I'm s2. Feelsbad
You cant drop from gold to silver...
@@atlas5459 Well i don't think he meant "I got decayed from gold to silver". He just went to gold, had some lose streak and got demoted to silver
I’m pretty late to this, but this guy actually helped me learn how to play Qiyana
The i know you havent at the end is what made me sub XD
Last year I was so hyped and positive on climbing Challenger rank on Wild rift despite it's shenanigans on ranked game like wintrading. I was able to reach diamond which is a very enjoyable achievement for me then Riot removed the Rank matchmaking and started having unranked and bronze silver teammates. That totally devastated me and made me quit the game. That is the most stupid and disrespectful patch I've ever seen. Now, the game is dying. I may not be the only one who felt that way. We did not play so hard just to be matched by lowranking players. I mean no disrespect to them but there is a proper and fair place from them on ranked
Matchmaking has always been terrible across all rankings but season 11 was something else entirely. I literally got a LvL 36 on my Dia II game. And not even like a smurf god or anything. Just a random dude that spent the last 10 mins apologizing for the jungler gap.
This is just the funniest of them all. I could tell you at least 20 other ocasions where matchmaking was just trolling everyone involved.
@@VRDejaVu I can stand that trolling before. I fully accepted it as part of the climb. What really frustrated me is having unranked - gold teammates even if i'am on DIA. I immediately stopped playing after that patch
Although they hotfixed that problem in wr ranked, same cannot be said in normals. Getting winstreaks in normals places you deeper and deeper in loser's queue, which, as an emerald I player, gets you matchmade with gold and silver players at first, which is tolerable, then u get the lvl 10 guy who has only played 5 games and is autofilled jungle but has not opened the tutorial yet, or the bronze III 500 games brand otp with a 45% winrate that only goes mid regardless if their role is jungler/support/top. The bullcrap system has affected me to the point i can only enjoy playing in ranked, in which u get matched based on rank, or aram, in which the same forced 50% winrate is used but is not really that obvious as long as people know how to click spells
@@breaddoggo5485 Though kinda frustrating, those things are kinda okay on Normal since nothing is at staked aside from your time and enjoyment. Rank is totally a different thing since you continuously grind in order to climb. It requires dedication. So for you to have low ranking teammates at mid high elo bypasses all the effort and dedication that you did just to reach your rank. That is a very stupid patch. I really supported WR by playing daily and even buying skins and wild pass but that patch truly made me quit the game.
Grandmaster really sounds better than challenger
when you tryna finish your project on a last minute
dayum son what a badluck brian moment
i feel that bro
Goes both ways, if he won early/didnt dodge 3x he mighta lost/get overtaken by others.
I mean that's just a risk of minute climbing. It happened to me in different games as well because I have medical issues resulting in less gamed played=rush at end. But that also means you will have to deal with what comes with it.
Yep if he wanted it he should planed it better
@@doomslayer8025 a bit late here but he made a comment saying he had tennis elbow and that it was too painful to play
@@shinydecidueye9593 ok and? It’s a video game not real life it’s his fault. Say I want Burger King and on the way there I stop at Tesco but by the time I’m done at tesco the Burger King is closed.

@@inglestopia bro do you know the average experience League player have with League? It probably several year easy if not half a decade.
If a simple advice as telling people to get used to league toxicity actually help. League wouldnt be considered as toxicity anymore. But is.
You do not just get 'used' to it. Maybe some. But the average joe? You think the community is joking around when we warned to newcomers who are interest to play LoL because they watch Arcane TO NOT PLAY League???
We are not fking around. Maybe 0.1% joke. 0.2% meme. But we are serious telling people to stay away from this game.
This game shit. Toxic community. Unbalance game. Shit tier riot balance team that don't even play their game.
Overall a shit but addictive game.
Telling league to get used to the toxicity. Fk off lol.
Might as well tell homeless people to buy a house.
Same, on a different game, won 8 matches in a row only to lose the last match and lost the chance to climb the highest rank.
Realistically the only thing that I don’t understand is that when you are trying to play 2-3 of the most important games of the season in super super crunch/clutch time that you would expect anything to go any amount of smoothly
he needs to chill out its just a game :PPPP

"It's only a game, Johnny. Why you have to be mad?" - his bronze friend
Just a simple question, does the game have to finish within the time in order to make it count? What happens if the game started before the time but ended after the time...
Then you won't reach challenger.
