in the current state, gold is not playable
4 out of 5 games are uncarryable, people just don't want to win. Most of the time, I can see people COULD play better, it's visible they have the mechanics and the awareness. But they refuse to do the effort. One guy goes 18/4 in a game, the next one he's 4/18, just because "fuck it, the jungler/support/whatever didn't do what I wanted at 5:37, idgaf Ill just int, I'm gold anyway" Add to the fact that high silver/low gold is the default elo for new accounts, you get a total fuckfest. You never know if they're gonna understand the pings, if they're gonna react correctly or just be stupid af. AND THE SKILLS OMG!!!!! I just had a total garbage vi jungle, SHE LOST WITH A KOG TROLLING STEALING THE FARM TOP... They had literally no bot and she managed to finish FIVE/ELEVEN... She was supposed to be GOLD... I've mostly never had any problem with the ennemies' skill... The hardest thing was, sometimes, they play safer than silvers, but, appart from that, I've never been outplayed or outsmarted... I only lose when my team feeds. AND THEY FEED HARD LOL... At this point gold is just Russian roulette...
