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.
If 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.
My 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.
The 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]
It 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.
