Ok, so I am a player in his second season ( started like a year ago). Last season played some ranked games and got silver 5. Then, this year did a lot of games but pretty much hardstuck in silver 4-5. Now, after 2 week of hard internal work, I am playing pretty more well and I'm climbing in the gold to reach gold hehe. I am silver 3 atm.

My problem this silver elo is so unwell balanced it's getting me crazy 1 game out of 2. My last game (Darius top lane, 2nd august at like 1 am eastern), I get 2, yes 2, unranked players agasint a full team of well ranked silver players. What u think happens, the jungler finished the game 0/17/5. And me, who is Honor 0 checkpoint 1, didn't even flame him as I said it's not on u. I destroyed a toplaner that was Silver 1. Why I say that is in link with next paragraph.

Now, I play my ass off in those games and a game I finished 9/1/6 with 7.2cs/ min and what I got as a win : + 19 lp ... I get matched against higher elo players and I am not even receiving my fair share in my opinion. Even got matched agasint a gold 4 as a silver 3 ... just nice ( that game we got a support who was full losing streak that just went inting and telling us all we trash btw).

So like I don't know. This last game with 2 unranked players on my side ... I just feel like LoL doesn't want me to reach gold.

I work hard ... I want to see fair matchs.

Thank you

I agree; buff so he's finally viable and not a troll pick, as I am in a similar boat with your situation.

I recommend purchasing item 3157 if you have any AP scalings on any AD champions you play. The is for a safety net and is a good way to trick the enemy that a AD champion has the item - which in turn can make you out play them.

You actually think if you get to gold that it will become easier and less stressful?

You are wrong.

If you're playing top and unable to carry just a play a hyper scaling spli tpusher like Jax, Trynd, etc.

The matchmaking is fucked, it's normal. I find that only maining a very small champ pool and playing them compulsively is the only way.

i have ben in league of 5 season. went from bronze 5 to gold 5 over a loooong time. dont worry, although your title is right, riot is about to put 2 new rank (one between plat and diamond) (one between bronze and silver) which will separate low silver into new elo and high silver into... well, silver seing as they are trying to fix the issue of people from different elo being in the same spot, your issue will probably soon be fixed and as a gold player, i will welcome someone with your non-toxic attitude with open arms in our elo (bO.O)b [slayer-jinx-wink]

the problem with silver is the skill level of silver ranges from the brand new players who just started and play at a bronze 4 skill lvl

and the players who are stuck there because even playing at a high gold/ low plat level they cant climb out because they have to DEAL with said new bronze 4 players and/or dont have enough free time to play ranked or just cant stand ranked anymore. (i fall into the last category, ranked is too stressful, any now my unranked mmr has no risen to about gold 2 so trying to go back to ranked is really painful to deal with the teammates i get)

i have meet silver players who are brand new and have no concept of what a support is, and i have meet silver players than can go toe to toe with a diamond.

the problem is both players have the same mmr and that ruins all the silver games, which in turn causes more of this same issue.

yes i would say about 30% of silver players are bronze... about 50% are actually silver... but a good 20% of silver players a very easily gold skill or higher.

but like i said when they all have the same mrr and they are randomly distributed throughout both teams, w/e team get the lower percents of the bronze ones and the higher percentage of that gold + ones will ALWAYS win the game, you really feel like u have zero control over the outcome.

and that is what makes silver an absolute mess
