Why Making Fun of Pleb Division Is Low-Hanging Fruit, Morally Reprehensible, and Silly

by ART · June 9, 2026

You're probably sat there now, on your special ass SecretLab chair, £200 headset, your mouse DPI is a special number in your heart that you flame others for. Not only that but you have a 'gaming room', talking about how you've not drank a monster energy in years and focus instead on "water" because "monster has all that bad shit" or "gives you the shakes".

Yeah, I get it. I've been you. I've also met one hundred of you. You're the classic "I will shit on those below me" whenever you get into any conversation. You probably react to everything you find vaguely disagreeable with a gif of Jonah Hill from War Dogs. I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart; your punching down of pleb division is misplaced.

Why? Well for a start we don't even see it. You're basically flashing a wad of cash down towards some ants on the floor. What do we care how many meal deals you can buy? Whether you have a nice house or the best skins? We literally just log on, have the lowest cortisol level possible, queue and do whatever the hell we want whilst you literally lose your minds. You know the meme with the graph and the raging guy like "NOOO YOU CANT PICK OFFLANE LION". That's you. You're the raging guy. I'm the goat little ant who remembers why I started playing in the first place.

Second. You've probably heard this one before.

It's harder to play at pleb division than at mid or sweat

"BUT BLOGPOST, THATS CRAZY!" I hear you cry. Yes, yes, I get it. All your nagas split with maximum efficiency and you get 5 billion last hits at the 30 minute mark and you're still only 3 ahead of the enemy carry. You ARE the mechanical master, you get the map from a 'macro level' (whatever the fuck that means). But you're too used to it. You're so obsessed with how the perfect game goes you cannot account for all the chaotic variables thrown into a pleb division game. The enemy can pick 5 counters and you'll still last pick your favourite hero because it's your waifu arrow thrower.

The closer the MMR average of a game approaches 0, the more likely it is we will see chaotic variables per minute or CVM. This is a well established pattern that scientists have studied for many years. You don't know more about the game than the average pleb division player, you just have a higher percentage of rage whenever you do something contrary to what you're supposed to do. You can go on and on about how you have 12k behaviour score by the way, I know what's going on inside.

And as a final note, I saw you playing in 2k bracket 10 years ago. I also saw you trying to join amateur inhouses and everyone thought you were stupid. The problem with the upper divisions is you've forgotten how to have fun. Inside of you, is a pleb who just wants to play.

So yes, I'll hold onto my 3 branches and not tango efficiently when I only need 2 for a wand upgrade. I'll stay 15hp and not ferry out regen. I'll play a 90 minute game and not push. I'll do whatever I goddamn like, and the next time you flame me for it in the kobold casual chat? I will not even see your message.

P.s. make fun of mid division next time sucker
