I don't deserve this shit, Riot.

On a bad day, I'm Gold 3. On a good day, Gold 1, maybe even Plat 5. I went 5/5 in placements and got put into Silver 4 because I didn't play a whole lot of ranked in season 5. Fine. Whatever. I can climb back to Gold. Not too hard, right? Only 4 divisions. Maybe even to Plat if I'm feeling it. It should only take 75ish games, maybe 50 if I go on a few win streaks.

But no. I can't. Because it's just like playing Russian Roulette. You either get a team of idiots that mindlessly feed, or a bunch of people that just passively wait until the enemy team wins. Admittedly, I deserve that first Fiora loss. I fed. Fine. I'll take the blow. But the other 6 games? Seriously? I managed to climb to Silver 3 and immediately went on a huge losing streak despite the fact that I won every lane. My team fed and I got shat on because of it and I was dropped back into Silver 4. Awesome. Really great system you've got here.

It's total bull. Don't even get me started on allowing 5 man queues against solo players. What in the world were you thinking? Why let 5 man queues that presumably use some sort of teamspeak go up against 5 completely random people with varying skill levels? I mean, I had two people that were 3 matches into their placements against a trio queue who were all in Silver and Gold.

How about a system that allows you to climb despite a loss? Like lp for tower kills/assists. Or kills prior to 20 minutes (in lane solo kills.) If this was allowed, then at least the dynamic queue wouldn't be nearly as but of a problem.

Just don't play ranked. Its not even worth it.

This, so much. I swear half of the people who play ranked don't even enjoy it, but only do it because they feel pressured or something :l

they don't let 5 premades go against solo players. just because the other team seems more coordinated than yours doesn't mean they are premade. many people get on skype, curse, teamspeak, etc., with every team, every game. voice communication helps more than people realize. but solo players are placed against other solo players, and so on and so forth.

With that attitude, you won't hit plat. -

Also realize, silver has a very diverse level of player. There are some fresh level 30 people that become silver, bronze that lucked into silver, as well as low teir gold/plat players with poor mmr. You can't expect everyone to play at the same level, or have the same level of knowledge involving the game.

It might just be your teams going against premades. If it is, wait for soloq to come out. I'm sure you'll climb then. - Kappa -

Yeah that looks pretty standard. Lots of retards get free wins and lots of good players get drug down. There is basically nothing that can be done about it.

I swear the system sorts players into "carries" and "get carried", and puts 1-2 carries on team with 3-4 feeders. I have losing streaks that looks almost exactly like yours - i get decent scores, a good farm when you consider the pressure the team faces - but i lose the game. Of course i could win. If i was Master+, Diamond won't cut it. But my level on my best champs are only in the high Gold/low Plat region, and its not enough.

I think about the mistakes i make, and of course i (and you) make mistakes every game, small things we could do better, "you can always improve", but really, why am i to carry a toplaner that dies 5 times solo? Even though you have decent farm, a couple of kills ect it doesn't matter when 5-0 Fiora comes and smack your ass, while my 0-5, 30 cs Mundo is as tanky as a Velkoz Support. You need to be Master+, smash your own laner 5-0 and 1v2 when the jungler ganks (multiple times), and if you can do that, why are you not automatically at least Diamond?

My 2nd last promo to gold, i went 10-4-8 but lost due to useless teammates feeding Evelynn. I have had some really extreme ones where i went 19-3, and one 28-8 and lost. And i extremely rarely get a negative K/D ratio and win, it is about the same rate as the games where i have over 5 KDA and lose, while on my friends, i see it all the time. A friend while being clearly inferior to me is the same rank as i am.

His main Yasuo stats: 5.8/6.7/6.2 | 55.4 % winrate

My main Xerath stats 8.1/3.4/8.9 | 61.9 % winrate

Even though i have better winrate, the skill gap between us on the champions is MASSIVE, and so much larger than the winrate tells - but the stats indicate it. Still, look up on one of his wins, he has maybe 3/8/12 and a 22/3/6 Vayne carrying - because he his a "carried" dude and the Vayne is a "carrier". On the same lines, my global K/D-ratio is around 1.5, while is is under 1, and we both play "carry" roles (mid mostly), but i get more kills, die FAR less, do more damage and is much better in teamfights, ward more ect, but have to carry WAY harder.

Riot should really make use of the grade-system to give small chunks of LP (like +5) if u got an S but lost, you really tried to carry, or subtract 5 LP if you got carried hard

My best advice is to team up with a smurf. I did, and usually it ends up with a "who can get most kills" race while ur smashing the enemy, you will usually have around the same score as the smurf. I do, yet he's Plat/Diamond and i'm Silver.
