I literally busted my balls trying to get up silver 2 and when season 9 came up, literally put me into Bronze 2. It's so hard to get up the ladder and it's so unfair that Riot bases rank by win/loss ratio. I get teamed up by bad teammates all the time. Ranks should be based on individual skills and not just win/loss ratio.
MorgManBasher3 votesIf you are stuck then you belong there, no offense. It gets harder to climb the closer to your actual ELO you get.
I mean, yeah sometimes you get unlucky but if you keep playing and belong higher you'll get there. I own about 8 accounts, rank them all to plat/diamond just for fun, it's usually very fast for me to get plat and slows down a little around Diamond because that's where I belong. I am not a Challenger player, I am a Diamond player and until I improve I won't get there.

You're competently wrong. Elo is nonsense, that is why they had to change how ranked works. MMR is to blame here. If you're stuck somewhere it doesn't mean you belong there. On this account I am constantly bottle necked. I win 6 games in a row, reach promos, then get paired with bad players. The bad players aren't even to be blamed, they were placed out of their elo by riots mental algorithms. They feed 0/10 in the first five minutes of the game and it becomes unwinnable no matter who you are, and then you lose promos because bottle necking leaves you in a lower rank on purpose so they can have people constantly be trying to climb. It's not fair that I get paired with players who are in bronze five when I'm in my gold promos. It's not fair bronze players are facing higher elos.

MLDzXnRRR2 votesMy friend, ranked is intentionally made, so you have to play many games and not quit the game after it gets boring... Your rank doesn't matter, you play matches based on hidden matchmaking algorithms that will match you progressively against players with bigger numbers than you. The more games and wins you have, the better players you will see. You individual skill doesn't matter much, because it's 5v5 game. Even in challenger, LCS etc there is always a losing team, don't forget this.

I agree with most of what you said, but if you keep winning and have to face people with bigger numbers, why are the people with bigger numbers your facing not facing people with bigger numbers themselves?

Because: they lose games and get matched with worse players or because you have to wait too long in the lobby to find a game. The queue time are something like 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Would like to wait 30 minutes for a match? What happens, if someone misses the "accept" button? Another 30 minutes waiting? There are also custom games lobbies; it's hard to make a game there, because many people leave while waiting for a few players more.
Saevum1 votesThe video teaser for the newly introduced ranked tiers stated that they 'didnt want to add more grind to the climb' so i dont know what you are talking about. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
MidNight101 votesIt is truly unfair. I was in a game for Gold 1 promo. I had a player who was platinum 2 in that game and was diamond season 9 which caused me to lost that game. It was so unfair for me and my teammates. Also, I always have teammates in my promo games who feed the enemy team no matter how hard I tried to help them.
