Keep in mind matchmaking doesn't care what your rank is, so being demoted right now would still match you with the same people and you'd just lose out on ranked rewards.

Basically why I just get to gold and just park there for each season. No desire to grind out of the cesspool

You are still playing with the same players when you are fresh into Gold 5 from Silver 1. I recommend playing normals until next season so you get to keep Gold.

Yeah, had a similar experience. Gold 5 is fully of moronic shitheads that think they made gold so the other people next to them (who are gold also) are somehow bronze.

Checking a stat sight usually shows a negative win% on those people, as in they somehow placed in gold, or got boosted and are on their way out back down to silver 1 or lower.

My first 5 matches in Gold had two people on my team with lower than 45% win rates. When I got to gold I had a 63% winrate on Morgana, I quit playing at a certain point, moved over to Flex... Flex has its own problems, but it was nice to stop playing with salty gold future washouts.

As your friendly neighborhood gold toplaner I want to chime in and say that Gangplank isn't really a bad laner. He deals surprising amount of damage and can punish bad trades very easily. It's not unusual to see good Gangplanks absolutely destroying their lanes because their opponents don't respect his earlygame while thinking he's just a lategame monster.
