I feel like this higher up I go in elo the worse. Recently I shot up to silver 1 and it feels that as I get here, people have become absolute shit. Is this just me. Enlighten me with your wisdom please.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 votesELO HELL IS LIKE THE PRISON IN THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. THERE IS A ROPE CLIMB, A CLIMB UP A STONE WALL STRAIGHT UP A JUMP THAT ONLY A 12 YR OLD GYMNASTIC GIRL CAN MAKE ALL WITH A BROKEN BACK.
GOOD NEWS IS ONCE YOU MAKE THAT CLIMB AND GET OUT YOU STILL HAVE TO DISABLE A NUCLEAR BOMB AND FACE THE ENEMY THAT ORIGINALLY BROKE YOUR BACK.
ONCE YOU DO ALL THAT YOU CAN BASK IN THE GLORY OF ELO SIMILAR TO VACATIONING IN THE FRENCH RIVERA.
Teslyn2 votesyou get some odd things.. but Riot has made it easier for people to get to gold with the if you won a game in your promo change.. but it really means alot of people are moving into silver.
although i do consider plat the worst of them all as far as peoples attitudes. golds pretty fun. Silver .. not much time spent there as i can remember.. and when i first played .. i was in Bronze and rightly so..
why plat if you may ask later.. because you either get boosted animals, people who had to solo carry to get to plat and dont know how to play any other style and just frustrated people who cant get to diamond..

As a guy who has spent half of his games in P5, and the other half getting from S4 to P5, this is entirely true.
GULAG 4 U2 votesBoosted animals thxs to dynamic q, gg
Lucian Waifu2 votesWhat you have to do is, first don't get discouraged by bad luck, people dcing or trolling. Those things happen, even in plat and low diamond.
Second, focus on becoming amazing at your primary lane, so amazing that you will crush your opponent the vast majority of the time and if you get hard countered either you outplay him or you roam.
Third, is that you need to roam anyways. League is a team game and part of you carrying is getting the rest of your team gold as well.
Fourth, and one most people forget, is that the ENTIRE goal is to destroy the enemy nexus. Getting cs, getting kills, even getting dragons, won't finish the game, they are all just a means to an end. People in silver usually get too focused on getting a good score and kda and they would rather fight exciting fights where they do some awesome outplay and kill most of the enemy team, except they aren't good enough to do so, and then you guys end up losing a team fight and losing your nexus. Focus on doing whatever it takes to kill the enemy towers to get to the enemy nexus, everything else will come more naturally if you do that.
Fifth, you need to become the leader, or if someone else on your team is doing a good job of leading, let him/her lead and don't fight for that position. Telling your team what to do and doing it well will change a 5 person SoloQ from looking like a drunken mess into at least a partially coordinated team. This way your team can come together and get goals and objectives more easily or be in better positions to win crucial team fights or contest important areas.
This is what I did you get from S4 to P5 this season in just over 200 games SoloQing.
Khell DarkWolf1 votesDynamic preference players, duh. :P
grug1 votesFresh ranked accounts have an elo of silver 3+ so a lot of players in that ranged are straight up new to ranked. I also believe the system wants you to carry these low winrate players or newbs simply to prove you are worthy of the next tier even if your crappy teammates are ranked higher than you which is ludicrous because you may have achieved your rank in a collaborative team-oriented scenario rather than a solo pentakill carry one.
Lightsity1 votesWell in the event of carry. Most of these players don't know how to be carried which is one problem i've faced many times in this elo. No one accepts shot calling, so how do I carry these players when I alternate as a support main time to time. Failed carry in winnable games leads to tilt. Tilt leads to poor play. Poor play leads to x.x If you could give me tips on how to carry solo it would help. I time to time look for teams, but that has its weakness with dynamic queue. I need help, I know some of my weaknesses, and I know I can win my lane, but I need game knowledge to win past my lane at this point.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteslol elo hell isnt bronze its silver. that is why majority of all rank players are in silver. they get the mindset of finally outta bronze means im good now, i dont need to practice fundamentals or ward im good enough to 1 vs 3 as soraka . lol bronze is just purgatory, hell is silver. good luck getting out of hell.

I think you can easily find out that the vast majority of players in league are bronze
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteshttp://na.op.gg/statistics/tier/
good point yes you can find out what tier the mast majority of players are in.
bronze: 28.9%, silver 39.38%, gold 22.39%, platinum 7.51%, diamond 1.76% , master 0.04% and finally challenger 0.01%
thank you for point that out

I guess I will believe that, but it doesn't look accurate at all. basically the same amount in gold as in bronze? doesn't sound right

Op.gg is very reliable. Gold is where alot of bronzies get boosted to since u get the victorious skin. It's also the average skill level. (silver and bronze are just bad players.)

if gold is average skill then you are saying more then 70% are less than average at this game u say bronzie get boosted to gold so the 70% of players who are bronze and silver + the % of golds that are boosted bronzies would be what 75% ? so then only the other 25% players are average or good?

Yes. Because Bronze means you're bad. You don't have to try to get bronze so you can omit half of all bronzies from these statistics. A person can easily go 0/10 and get Bronze. You don't have to do anything to get it. It's given to you if u really want it.
Gold is where people know most of the game. They just have to perfect it. Bronze and Silvers don't know shit other than kill each other and die.
Lightsity1 votesHoly crap I was about to disagree in a form, but I just wrote same thing as you. Only difference is I don't see it as Hell.
oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 voteswhat do you see it as?
Lightsity2 votesPoor players who lack the competence to capitalize. You can tell me all day I have room to improve and i will believe you, but consecutively you receive team-mates that just worsen yourmindset with there playing no matter how you help them. Not every game, but majority.
Hige1 votestechnically they aren't getting worse, you're getting better (hopefully)
Depárt1 votesBarely anything changes from bronze 1 to silver 1.
But just a fair warning, no matter where you are, people play like idiots. Whether it be bronze or master tier, they play like monkeys.
The only real difference is master does it on purpose and actually knows the game/mechanics.
So this one time1 votesbronze is silver basicly. gold isnt a big improvement.
JRobin311 votesThe reason this experience occurs is because once you crest the rise in the distribution of players you experience a pushing effect.
