Silver worse than bronze?

So i have been playing this season starting at bronze 5 working my way up and now I am at silver 5. I really feel that I am getting way worse teammates at silver 5 then I was in bronze, like bronze 2. I feel like when people hit level 30 they always get placed in silver after placements. Which is a problem you should start at b5 once you hit 30. I keep getting players in silver playing like champions in roles that are horrible and there is a ton of feeding in lanes and its continuous. I feel like non of my games were like that in bronze just players trying to rank up and play serious all I have been hitting in silver is a bunch of jokesters who plays troll champs in troll roles and feed and its so annoying. Call me crazy if you want but does anyone feel like that? I feel like more people in bronze understood how to play the game and the mechanics than people in low silver.

The 5th division of any of the ladder ranks will always have way worse players than the ones above. If you get to Silver 4 things should change a good amount.

Gold to Bronze are just your average League players, though every stage in ranked is Elo Hell tbh.

After 5 promos and finally getting into silver 3, I get 3 feeders in a row (I did feed the fourth game and I take blame for that), but in the fifth game my support had only played Brand once before, never bought a sightstone and ended up losing me the game so now I'm back in silver 4.

Now I'm not too sure if this is the case. But I've met many Bronze players who were former of higher rank like gold or diamond, I myself included. Currentlyw orking my way up back to diamond with these guys.

Yeah. Right now there are caps on the divisions. This means that people have to lose an incredible amount of games in a row to actually be demoted.

Due to this, when you get into silver 5 you feel like you were 'promoted' to bronze 4. No joke.

There are TONS of players in silver 5 that DO NOT belong in silver 5. Lately with the way matchmaking seems to be working, good luck not getting caught in the bad player vortex and sucked into hell. Without luck on your side, or being like 2 divisions better than everyone so you can 1v5, good luck.

Just feels bad man.

The ranked ladder doesn't feel like a ladder. It feels like, shoots and ladders. Often its hard to tell which direction you're going.

You sir have never been to the shit show that is bronze 5. Yasuo jungle, ad hiemer jungle, eve mid, wukong support, darius support, and Zed ADC are just the tip of the iceberg, with how common terrible picks are in at least half of my games.

WE have enough bad players at bronze 5, don't need some 1st season ranked players in them too...

Looking back at it, the plays i offered last season was what the average bronze 5 player that is stucka t 0 LP would be doing. :/ And the thing is, once people drop to bronze from silver in their 1st season, they will stop playing. I have quite a few LoL friends whom, after droppign to bronze 1 from silver 5 in their 1st season, stops playing ranked for good.

In Silver, players think they are good. So they are more eager to blame others when things go wrong. In bronze however, everyone accepts that they are equally good/bad, so I think theres less rage.

However Silvers think they are better than all the other players, and that they should be in gold etc.

Edit: find 4 other friends to play with. why play solo , no one else is.

S5 is the cusp of a few silvers carrying bronze with higher mmr gains, gets better if u can get abit higher imo but theres no huge difference. If u play stuff with monility good carry potential and or good cc utility lockdown u can climb.
