I sort of feel this way but I think people should try to be empathetic and nice towards each other to try and understand one another. There's obviously a reason she thinks this way and I'm just trying to clear misconceptions and logical fallacies to try and make my point the clearest it can be. The best way to do that is through conversation.

Do you really think you wouldn't be able to discern the difference between having and not having Redemption? You using an Active item out of all of the possibilities sort of puts you in a hole as I think that's one of the most noticeable changes in itemization you can feel. Maybe you wouldn't get as many situations where you'd need to use Redemption in a smart way in a Silver game (again, I used Gold-Eme as an example which I think is slightly different) because you won't ever feel as threatened or have your team be as low HP or something but, eh, I don't know. I don't really feel that way. You're underestimating even Silver players, as I think a lot of people do. You're still gonna get poked. You're still gonna take damage. You're still gonna have to *try* to win.
This is sort of a closer point though since it's more case-by-case than the rest of the stuff we've talked about. Why are you averse to trying this out in ranked again though btw?
