I started smurfing for the fun of it.....
And I assure you, it is NOT FUN.
The amount of boosted bronze 5 accounts and Troll smurfs you get is unbearable.
I am so sorry for Low elo players, Sincerely am. You don't deserve daily headache you get from your Ranked games.
On top of that, your junglers are fuckin trash....Holy mother.
Sintama3 votesEvery low elo says this, but every high elo says "no you're just bad."
ZeeWolfZ4 votesNo man. Sincerely, I feel bad for them. I completely understand the DQ struggly they deal with everyday.
The amount of silvers die once and go afk....it's Pathetic.
Sintama3 votesI'm Silver. Mostly because I'm bad, mostly because I refuse to play ranked. You don't get a full game, ever. You either have an AFK, a troll (something like AP Twitch Jgl) or the enemy team has a smurf and has 15 kills by 8 minutes.
Unstoppable Monk1 votesI would rather have 10 AP Twitch JG trolls in a row over the constant stream of potato junglers I've been getting.
CppL1 votesNo man. Sincerely, I feel bad for them. I completely understand the DQ struggly they deal with everyday.
The amount of silvers die once and go afk....it's Pathetic.
If they would just die and go afk ,that would be fine.The problem is ,that they die and die ,again and again and again...untill enemy adc has like 10 kills in 12 mins.Then they start to flame everyone ,and spamm /ff non stop...Thats true elo hell.And im not even talking about smurfs or 3-4 man premades.
Unstoppable Monk2 votesOn top of that, your junglers are fuckin trash....Holy mother.
The feel where you know exactly where that part of elo they are talking about is.
ForgiveColour2 votesDid you just shittalked low elo junglers for being bad? GG whiny laner
Restless Slumber2 votesLow elo only sucks when you are bad. If I made a new account, I could probably get a 100% winrate until plat. The bad players on your tea, doesn't really matter, when the players on the enemy team are just as bad, and if you are any good, you will win easily.
Flaherty1 votesI have a friend who's gf is bronze 5 and never gets a single buff in the jungle before 7 minutes. like wtf is that even with zero masteries and runes you can still take a buff by the second clear at least
MunchCrunchLunch1 votestwo games ago. every one of my laner. wen't 0/5. as the jungler i can't be in 3 lanes at once. people. die to level 1-2 ganks. its unbelievable. every game. people die to level 2 ganks. like. i don't understand. how far do you push in. and how bad of a flash did you make to die to a level 2 gank.
Mojihito6661 votesDQ totally made ranked casual.
Its so much worse then it was. And it was already bad .
Kitty Clarissa1 votesits worse as a support main, You have to gamble that
A) your team is not feeding
or
B) your lane gets ultra camped
or
C) you have a teamate who is fed and has common sense (not only ADC).
HateDaddy1 votesDunno, smurfed last season and got out of gold in like 15 games. Got placed gold 4 and went 9-1 in placements and that one loss was a DC, and I almost carried that in a 4-5 and actually did win another 4-5 in placements. Getting out of that Elo is easy as hell lol.
Now I understand it sucks for the players in that Elo range who belong there but if it's where you belong, it's where you belong. I hate diamond 5 range more than I ever hated bronze when i was bronze in s2. Bronze was fun af.
Weasel Kensei1 votesIm in silver 4, and when I start playing it a bit more in ranked, Il probably make silver 3 if I bother to go for it before the season is over. This season I placed in bronze 3, apparently the mmr reset got me pretty bad, and I shot straight up to bronze 1, then at the start of placements... huge losing streak back down to bronze 3, then back up to b1 promos to silver, then back down to b3, then back up to B1.
Then I made it to Silver5, but had enough baddies that I got demoted to B1 again, then back up. Now I was at S4 83LP, but the yoyo is in effect again and Im down to S4 9LP atm.
As I climb, the yoyo goes through less cycles because my team gets less retarded.
See, the thing is... I AM IN ELO HELL. I know I can get out. The thing that keeps me from doing it is Im in college classes, and putting in study sessions that are draining me. Keeps me from playing at my A game. If I played tired Id lose rank easy. Rested and ready to go I do ok. The only problem is I know there will be a lot of 1 step forward, 1 step back, 2 steps forward, 2 steps back. Thats the hell part. Some people dont have the patience for it, and therefore cant get out of the hell, and IT IS HELL.
So while it can be escaped, its a slog through some of the stupidest bullshit and incompetence the community has to offer.
All you have to know is there is a thing called "Gatekeepers" who are trolls that play shitty in bronze and silver just to make sure anyone in their promos loses. That is entertainment for a very sad class of "people" that play this game. Between being trolled, having to play against people ranking up their smurfs, against coordinated premades, with moron 11 yo kiddie premade feeders, the occasional off game, losses can feel out of your control. This feeling of frustration can become prevalent and deteriorates ones sense of progress making any attempts to rise above feel futile.
While it may not be futile, the time it will take to see objective gains may be out of bounds for some peoples schedule/patience.
So basically Bronze sucks, not everyone there should be there, its harder to leave than you may think, some people just cant manage the time/willpower to pull it off so they stop trying.
Just Blame Jenny1 votesYeah, I don't play much ranked. But silver is indeed pretty frustrating. It seems like an absolute coin toss whether you get the team with players that actually have a clue, or the enemy does and all your guys are brainless fodder that feed 0/3 five minutes in. There is never an in between. Every match is completely lopsided.
Don't get me wrong. If you're a very good player, silver is easy to carry. But if you're, say, only a little better than the guys around you, it's a pretty frustrating experience.
ZeeWolfZ1 votesNo man, even watching Pro players trying to win in silver elo is hilarious. It's so randomized and chaotic in the elo and extremely hard to carry.
Amusing but frustrating.
Brimaz The King1 votesSome one feels my pain. Thanks for the support.
JuiceNJews1 votesI gave up on "ranked" this season. I got the acc's I wanted to gold and see 0 reason to progress them any further. Now I just play bot games daily for the IP boost because losing in this game is far more agonizing and stressfull than winning is fun. But that's just my opinion as a solo player who's irl friends have left the game long ago now, I commend you guys who have the tenacity to keep playing "ranked", how do you do it?
ZeeWolfZ1 votesWhen you hate yourself enough, you proceed to Solo Queue in this awful DQ system.
Miku Append1 votesMade it to Gold 5: win one, lose one. Can't seem to get higher than 60 LP. :c
The Deckowner1 votesWell in silver we have people who played the game for 3 weeks having only 30 normal games with bronze 5 mechanoc and knowledge, but still got placed silver because garbage placement system and dynamic boost, only to get destroyed by veterans garenteeing loss for their team.
