How Hard is it to get Plat?

Rezandra·Feb 20, 2016·1 votes·704 views

I'm currently in my series for Gold 5. I'm pretty confident that I'll get to Gold easily enough. But now I'd like to know what kind of resistance I should expect on the grind to Plat, if I even decide it's worth trying.

Prepare for maximum salt levels cap'n

First response. Not a good sign.

Don't get me wrong, it's very doable, just prepare yourself. People are gonna whine and blame in at least half the games at near-plat5 elo, so be ready to handle it.

Well with promo helper being a thing I feel like it's much more grindable than previous seasons.

It might be a bit of a slog through salt infested bog waters from what I hear, but I'm in the same boat as you tier-wise and I'm reasonably confident that the push to plat is doable.

theres 1 whole year of season

and this is the BEGGINNING of the season, explain as to why the hell the last 3-5 months before the end of the season had made ranked climbing a lot easier? its because no one gets placed higher than plat 1, while many people at gold-plat are at silver rank from what I have seen, thats why im planing to tone down the skilled players that has been placed lower so I would wait for a while till they moved up while itll make my ranked games later on climb up more easier

and not to mention there are also a shit ton of trolls and scripters which isnt surprising

Depends on your skill level and mmr/lp gain+loss. It took me less than 30 games to go from gold 1 to plat 3 during season 5.

Reaching Plat is very easy.But beware, Plat 5 is probably the most toxic elo out there. Problem is, people there think they deserve Diamond or something, but their teammates are holding them back. Truth is though, Plat 5 is trash. It's only worth it to get there if you want that Plat border.

If u can breeze past gold 5 and 4 and get through 3 without too much struggles, u can prob get plat... g2 and g1 were kinda tough for me but i think if u dedicate ur time to a small handful of champions u can manage.

Really appreciate the responses guys. I feel like maybe I can tackle it now.

Also, relevant to what I was saying about being in my Gold 5 series. The journey to plat begins. After I get some sleep.
