So riot, why is it whenever I need 1 game to get into series. 1. I always get paired with like the worst ELO players. It seems as if the system purposely trolls you into getting lower elo players for that game. I've been in and out of series for 1 tier for 3 weeks now. Is this just me or does anyone else get this curse as well. Riot's system seems all jumbled.

NoMonku1 votesI have, but I have always believed in the notion for ranked that if you want to rise the ladder, you need to climb it yourself. Yes, you may go into games being matched up with inferior players, but the game is still winnable. The reason it is is because YOU are in the game. You are the one who needs to pick them all up and put them into your little backpack and get them to the enemy teams nexus and win the game. It is you who is the deciding factor in those kind of games, which means if you don't actually carry, well you aren't going to win. If you REALLY deserve to rise, you should be able to win and clear this hurdle. Since you have been at this point for a few weeks, I'm thinking that you are close to your current "level" of play, which means you need to start stepping up your game if you want to go higher.

TurtleHumper1 votesI tend to be vs a team of mid golds, with my team being low silver and me as the highest elo when I'm in promo's.
It's annoying but it does mean I learn to play better vs golds which is helping a lot.

Thomashy1 votesHey man, I made the struggle from bronze to high plat, let me shed some advice on ya. I'm also a plat Starcraft 2 player, so i know a lot about laddering.
The ladder is made to keep you down. It is forcing you to get better.
The ladder is supposed to be a slow and long climb up.
There is no curse, it is terrible in all elos, even high challenger.
You need to ask yourself, "What rank do i want to hit for this season?"
Mine right now is Dia 2 or master tier. I would be around high dia right now if my anxiety disorder didn't affect my play and made me quit for a few months.
Things i did to climb:
Now, people who say duoing is a bad idea, it isn't. Those people are the salty kids that get the unlucky trash botlane everytime. Duoing allows freedom and relaxation and morale boosting if no one complains about the duo.
Play for fun, but competitive fun. Understand you won't win every game. Some games you get cheesed or play vs the scripting blitzcrank. Just remember that you will win another game eventually.
Watch pros, take notes. As an adc i have a plethora of notes and stuff of soloq players like gosu, DL, Qtpie, Robertxlee, etc.
Play consistently, but in small numbers. I play 3 to 5 games every day. Some days i lose all 5 or win all 5. But i know that it doesnt matter because i play 35 to 60 games a week.
Have small goals. YES I HIT 50 LP PLAT 3 YES I HIT 90 LP PLAT 3 YES PROMOS YES PLAT 2
Follow that basically, have fun and praise every victory.
