Hi everyone, my name is PrinceVladlmlr and I am playing on EUW server from S1. I finally got into gold V this season 7. I dont know why was it so hard this season to achieve it. Every season, since season 2, except season 4 when I didnt play I was in gold elo somewhere between gold V and gold I. Last season I was nearly platinum. But the point is this season it was exceptinally hard for me to get to gold, from season restart to yesterday, it has been a really long period, nearly 5 months?

Silver elo season 7:

I cannot point out how much I can not believe what have I seen in silver elo this season. Early game is nearly fine, mid game and late game especially are chaotic. People in silver and their mindset is so strict in some moment that I could not believe how are they playing. If I took a horse and showed him what to do, he would make better moves and learned how to play. Everyone, but everyone is making the same mistakes. After some time, I stoped writing and trying to tell them what to do, I did not make any sence at all. Builds, runes, game decisions are catastrofic in silver elo. In silver I they made the same mistakes they were doing in Silver IV. They are like robots, just going and not thinking what are they doing. Supports without sightstones (why you dont have sightstone sona? dahhhh why would I need that??), no redemption (which is broken and its going to be reworked or nerfed).

When someone says there is no difference between silver and gold elo, well I can assure you there is the difference. Big one. Team play decisions, positioning, counterpicks, tactics, that is all that matters in LoL. LoL is a logic game, not just pick Caitlyn and go forward. I have not played in silver for long time, but dear God that was heavy job.

Not sure man I have really struggling in silver this season as well. Only made to gold on time last season but did it 3 times so I felt pretty confident ranking up through silver elo. I did quit playing from January through most of April but basically been jumping through silver 2-3 since. I have had a hard time adjusting to the meta and at this point just really want to get back into gold. Think I got it figured out now but not sure I will play enough in the near future to hit gold anytime soon. It would be one thing if games were generally competitive but like you said I have seen a lot of skill variance and it makes playing the game really annoying. Pretty much just don't feel like spamming games anymore.
