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.

This feels like when I get into higher diamond. I play a few games in d4+ and I play very nervous and I lose so much cs due to it. I guess in this case it would be called high elo but playing nervous usually makes you play worse (I should probably turn off name tags in game because there's a lot of popular players playing there. Anyway, the only person you can change on how they play is you. Some games will be unwinnable and some games you will get carried. If you play well and carry at a consistent level, then you will end up climbing.

It's really like a mental block is all i think. Once I carried a couple games in plat i realized I belong and i can get higher even. I still do play bad sometimes though. Like my last game ornn got away from me with like 20 hp and i had ignite up, like 3 times same thing. I wanted to cry...

There is no "good" league, there's just you hope to find 4 more people that you can play with who aren't trolls and try as hard as you, and then make a team and play with them. Otherwise it's a fine combination of troll city and solo que wasteland.

Chances are equal to have a troll on either side.

It just feels like it's you more because terrible losses are too traumatizing by comparison to the feel good moment of a win.

In fact, one win no longer makes me as happy as it used to be, because it's just cringe that I have to do another and another and another and so on and so forth just to climb, but lose one and to hell with your last win and next one!

This is what seems should be true, but sometimes its not true. Sometimes there is just bad luck for even like 20 games in a row.

Except matchmaking actually puts the odds against you every few wins to guarantee you never climb. All you can do is hope you get a lucky streak once.

I am aware of this.

It isn't enough to win 2 of 3 games anymore. You need to go on a win streak to go up one and then hope that you can withstand an onslaught of losses after promotion to maintain rank before the storm passes and you get your next lucky break.

its so true. I lost hope in plats players... mainly since yesterday all plat supp waiting for (at least) 25 min to build a sighstone mainly when we are losing and other team have a Wukong or a lethality users (yeah harding c*ckblock draktharr users a bit).

I've played with a ton of good supports, but some have just like inted like no other. Especially sona players lately... average like 1 death every 2 minutes. I ask people who hover sona in champ select to pick something else now. Rito hard nerfed it and It is bad now.

Dude I remember when I was scared to fight intermediate bots!

I don't have much opinion of plat players (no offence to you) Yeah, when they've banned / taken my mains or I'm practicing a weak pick, they can be a pain. Otherwise? Meh. The only time they look good is when they get put in a low elo game laning against a bronze or silver. They get stupidly fed. Anybody looks amazing when stupidly fed.

Real skill, and dedication, starts at high Diamond. I'm not suprised Plat is full of trolls. You guys get the literally boosted players too, right? Yucki!

Ive noticed the only difference between silver and bronze is silvers seem to bm less in chat. In bronze everyone is always fighting in chat and flaming all game long. Silver most chats are quiet for the most part with 1 or 2 people as exceptions. [sg-lulu]

Everything is bronze until challenger.

Then you're in gold.
