An argument from a higher position of authority is not necessarily absolute, but they often carry more weight than an argument from a person without expertise. This applies in the case of league for example, because your league ranking directly relates to the legitimacy of your argument.
Oh wow. I have no words for how wrong that whole sentence is.

If you were making your argument at the perspective of someone at 1400s (or w/e silver is now) it wouldn't be true for someone at playing at 1700~.
This is a better argument, but it still doesn't make any point a 1400 makes invalid it just makes it relative.

Anyway i think i know why Assertn thinks i was "talking big.

Look at this:



Silver 4 is in the top 40% of the league, while Silver 1 ( where most of my teammates are in solo1 ) is in the 20%. There's a huge difference in skill when it comes to the silver league because that's where most players are, which is why i was complaining about how we were steamrolling people in our Silver IV team. To my point, once we won our promotion series we were sent directly to Silver II, skipping III.
