Silver is a mess right now

The meaning of silver devision had been massively deweighted since this season, and quality of games had also decreased significantly due to a few things.

1. Provisional placement(and exp change) This puts new players with less than 50 normal games into a division where many players have hundreds of ranked games played. Ever since Rito reduced the amount of exp needed to level up, accounts can get to level 30 with less than 50 games(I have witnessed one with 31 normal and a few bot games). These new players do not have enough experience with the game and is no where near the skill of an average silver player. things like match ups, csing, wave control, kiting, etc, which we consider basic knowledge and skill of the game, are often unheard of from the new players. I very often see people build super shitty item or have no idea how to face match ups due to the sheer lack of knowledge. they can go something like 3/7 in placement and get mid/low silver and they are deadweight for every single team they gor matched with and deastically reducing the quality of games.(I would definitely consider them deadweight when they have 20~30% win rate).

2. Smurfing(and also the exp change) You probably have heard of the smurfing conspiracy, basically due to dynamic queue fucks over high elos, they smurf in the elo below and it ruins their game so they smurfs in the elo lower than them too. This is probably the less important one but it just feels pretty sad when you see plat smurfs dynamic boosting in silver.

3. Dynamic Boosting Dynwmic boosting basically means abusing dynamic queue and trying to elo boost lower rank players. Since the matchmaking system is so bias towards premade it often gives the boosting premades unfair advantage so people love doing it. Those boosted animals have WOOD V level skills and they feed their ass off when.not.in premade with booster. Often times when the booster isn't too good the boosted animal(this is.usually real life friends boosting for their friens) the boosted animals are sooo bad that the booster fail to carry them. Every game with boosting prenade are basically decided by the booster, ir the booster is good then easy rofl stromp, else ff@20 because the boosted animals areso bad you are basically playing 4v6.

I really wish Rito can do something about this problem. Silver isn't a great place for introducing new players to ranked, ssmurfs and boosting premades are everywhere legally ruining games for people. Someting need to be done.
