High Elo is quite depressing

The thing I hate most is that you can't play with your friends anymore. 70% of all ranked players are either in Silver or Bronze and that includes nearly all of my friends. Playing normals with them and getting paired up with other Diamonds is just like watching little chicks walk through a grinder.

Enjoy your time in low elo, make as many friends as you can on league and climb the ladder together. Stop blaming each other and help each other improve so at least when you make it further up, your friends will be right there with you.

Pretty much. I can't play normals anymore if I want to have a reasonably well matched game because the skill variances are just too great once Diamond players start getting involved.

Never had any friends to play with after I hit lvl 30, so don't understand what you're so sad about lol.

I played a sup Nasus on a second account, so you won't see it in my game history. The adc was gold ranked. Even if Sivir was a champion that had not been played before, I would have thought avoiding Blitz's grab or MF's ult would not be champion specific knowledge. Maybe the actual account owner let a little sibling, or a friend, or their child play, but man that player was bad. Of course, I had to look worse, being the sacrificial support. Never trust that rank proves anything!

Higher you get less relaxed games you have. When playing against people up to Plat 5-4 you can play and even make few mistakes here and there and it will be fine, mostly but higher skilled players make it so that you play for win, period.

To play for fun, then do not climb to high :D It's true, especially in this case which you have described.

I get your point, but at the same time, just because they obtain the same rank as you through duo, doesnt mean they've learned the game enough to legitimately say they are as good.

What i mean by this is, i could carry my silver 5 friend to gold 3 or some shit with me, but that doesn't mean he's a gold 3 player, it just means he got a piggy-back ride into gold.

"high elo"

come back when you have 10-15minute draft queues and 5-10 ranked queues

ull understand why people play with all elos.

dear god when i premade with all people my elo it can be a 25min+ draft

playing with other people makes things alot less depressing.

until that though you dont even know the meaning of "high elo is depressing"

I have never had any high elo friends so playing normal's has never felt much out of place. I had one buddy get gold in season 3 and the rest of us were like "omg hes gold damnn..." Then a bunch of my other buddies got gold and I was stuck in silver. Finally made it to gold but at least we all still around a similar elo. Sorry to hear you have no close friends up there with you :(, reality is most of us are just not that good at this game. :(
