A revelation for all of those that were completely frustrated with ranked in preseason
I was losing my sh*t, tanked hard, dropped a division. I was getting team mates that did not understand even the most basic points of the game. There was flaming, raging, afking, it was horrible.
Then I hit normal queue.... I went from B5 teammates and opponents in ranked queue to playing with all gold players in normal. The opponents got harder and smarter, the team mates are a team, the frustration and flaming ended, and the game became fun again.
As for my performance? Well I'm keeping up with gold players, although the curve is a bit steep at first after playing in the dirt for so long, but my winrate has gone way up, I'm improving my game much more than previously, and most importantly the game is fun again.
If you're losing your mind struggling with the frustration of trying to god carry a ranked game in silver and bronze, go play normals and you may start to enjoy the game again!
