Does anyone else feel like Gold 2 is such a struggle?

I really don't get it. When I'm in Gold 3, people on my team tend to work together and make good decisions and are just overall more enjoyable to play with.

Then, whenever I get to Gold 2, my teammates immediately are straight up angrier and less willing to play as a team to work towards victory. They give up as soon as anything goes wrong and spend the entire game flaming everyone for their mistakes.

Bottom line is, Gold 2 just feels like a completely toxic elo. It's extremely noticeable and results in a flat out worse experience while climbing. Am I the only one who feels this way? Or do other people have similar experiences?

Because you getting closer to plat 5, the greatest pits of elo hell in the game.

It doesn't get any better in gold 1.

Boy you're in for a suprise if you think gold is the most toxic elo. Gold is probably the easiest elo to pass if you're good imo. But I know how you feel, I was plat1 a few days ago, but then I get teams who arent capable of doing anything right, but when I get to plat3 the players are decent.

I mean, yea gold 5-3 were really enjoyable and my teammates actually didn't give up for me to carry them.

But, without failure, every time I hit gold 2 they IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT FAILURE start to be toxic. Is this normal?

This kind of hell extends across almost the entire spectrum. I'm Bronze 2 and I haven't been able to get any higher this season for reasons exactly like you've described.
