So when I final got out of the troll cesspool that silver is, I finally though to myself; Finally I can play league with some decent people. Oh boy was I wrong. I had forgotten about infestation of players who have been carried, elo boost, purchased account and so on that GOLD V has become. How are these players still gold 5. they have 30-40% win rate and still manage to stay there. I presented a graph showing you the gigantic difference in population size of silver 1 - gold V - gold IV. There are almost more Gold 5 player as the combine silver 1 + GOld 4 population. WTF rito fix this

This is proof that there is too much elo boosting going on

Well, that really is expected when Riot set G5 to be the requirements for the victorious skin.

Gold 5 is a huge plateau. They also removed decay from Gold, so people just sit there and wait for their rewards. Only those who want to grind will continue to grind, hence why there are more 5 of the next tier at EVERY LEVEL than 1 of the previous tier. If people want it hard enough, they'll get it eventually.

That's what I thought too. I use to be Gold 2 then summer came (which I'm sure we can all agree summer is a terrible time for League...) Was in a game yesterday with a 4/14 Viktor.... WHO DIES 14 TIMES?!

Check Diamond 5, its population is bigger than diamond 1-4 and plat 1 combined. And maybe 50% of them are at 0 lp. Thats not only eloboosting, its just that its really hard to drop from there
