hello, for 3 of the 4 last seasons i was ranked in platinum. It sometimes took some time to climb there, but at high gold the games started to feel competitive, like usually mostly all players knew the fundamentals so games were a good back and forth and the grittiest team end up winning usually.

Last season I didnt play ranke so I guess they reset my MMR because now they placed me into bronze 4 after going 8-2 in placements. I got to bronze 1 in about 10 more games. Now these games are unwinnable. It's a fucking coin flip to hope i dont get the bot lane that is 0-10 by 10 minutes because then their fucking 10-1 Caitlyn with 2 items more than anyone else in the game comes mid and starts killing everyone who didnt feed their face off with 2 auto attacks. Even if im super ahead, I cant solo kill the 10-1 adc who kills me in 3 autos, then i die to her allies, and then my richardpoop team continues to die to Braum support somehow.

They didn't even win because they're great players. They win because my fuckoing bot lane feeds so much. both die, go back to lane and instantly try to fight and die again. Repeat x3. Oh I guess I should have carried them harder right? A good player would be able to carry his teammates that repeatedly force fights while underleveled and behind in items and repeatedly die.

SO , i am not going to waste my sanity trying to climb through bronze and silver. Instead I am going to try to reverse climb, Ivern mid? yep! KogMaw top? You bet.

I will purposely lose games and trash my rank but pretend to be trying because this shit system doesn't report actually trolls anyway. As long as I dont type anything mean, I can int my face off as long as I CS and pretend like Im actually trying.

So I'm wondering, how many games will I have to lose to get to Iron ? someone said you can't be demoted from bronze 4? Is that true? I would like to reach Iron 4 and play with truly trolls and bad players because that's all I get matched with now anyway.

fuckin place me bronze 4 after I was nearly diamond for 3 seasons fuck that. And im supposed to play with this actual noobs and put a smile on my face and "climb" back to where I have already climbed to for FOUR YEARS. the system doesnt take past rank into account its obvious

So just pick kayle,vayne or jax and you'll win 80-90% of your games if you were really plat. I main jungle but when im playing on new accounts i usually play something like that.

Bronze/silver and even gold players don't know how to close the game and it can last long enough if you can get a few early kills and win your lane.

You're in Iron. If you're really plat level, you should be able to carry them with ease.

You can demote in ALL ranks. If your MMR hits low enough you will fall (just can't fall further than Iron 4)

If you try to play the same at low ELO as high, you're gonna have a bad day. The game is completely different based on where you're at and if you can't adapt to that then you'll get stuck until you man up and learn to play.

No guide is going to teach you that your allies will ignore you engaging just out of their screen. That said, I have extreme doubts that a plat couldn't escape Iron on csing alone.
