I used to think silver was good.
I started playing this game beginning of season 5. I got placed bronze 3. I thought for sure silver is really good players. Then I got silver 5 and all nervous playing it cuz silver was "good" then demote back to bronze promote back until got to gold, then same phenomenon like I'm out of my league feeling.
Anyway, long story short now I'm plat and it still feels like everybody on both teams is just straight trolling or stupid. This is how I know I can get to diamond eventually for sure. These people are troll as hell and not even trying half of games. In fact ive had probably 25% of my games lost to people either trolling or afk from easy wins.
Just a few games ago we had a big come back win. But then our team decides to do baron and our kayn won't come. He does the raptor camp and surprise the enemy jg steals it. Then we even come back from that and are killing nexus and everyone does but the kayn and its open to kill it and he sits and recalls right beside it then goes and kills himself after everyone spawns and we lose. His justification for this was he was busy getting his dice sucked.
For some reason this never happens to the enemy team to have trolls and all half the time but whatever. Luck will change eventually.
