So, recently I had an eye-opening, cheek-clapping experience of fighting a well coordinated team in rank.

And boy, as much as my ass was kicked left and right, I cant help but be in awe.

The enemy team, their champs were NEVER alone. They stick together like HELL.

You could be fighting a lone champion for a few second, the next few is your ass getting railed in 3-2v1.

And when they attack, those MFs COMMIT.

They entered with bismillah and with the intent to MURDER you.

It was trial through fire.

No amount of plays and thinking that my monkey brain can compute were able to outplay them.

I wasnt even salty when I lost.

It was a lesson.

It was a good game.

I've had the chance to play against really high skill players in the past through internal testing. It's a real eye opener how good you can get at the game. I'm glad it sounds like it felt motivating to you. In those situations I found it was beneficial to really feel viscerally the level of skill you could aspire to.

Also, sometimes you get those games where the team just vibes and you all coordinate instinctively on the right plays (like everyone just hiveminds and groups at dragon instead of herald). I find those game really precious and they feel more fulfilling than when you get a player who just pops off and carries the team by 1v5ing the enemy team. Those start to happen more as you get higher in skill, but I think it's also more frustrating when it doesn't happen.
