So when we have actual recordings of gosu struggling in the climb to level 30 for his smurf we should just disbelieve that that too? Low elo is a place filled with good people and bad people, and basically if your team feeds harder than the lead you are able to acquire how are you to win? Also take into account that the people you play with DO affect your playstyle. So basically if you play with people who are "worse than you're used to" you will start to lower your skill level because less effort is required to obtain kills.

Yeah... no. People only upvoted that post because the majority of them are silver players and they want to think that they are good. Which they aren't. I'm in plat IV right now and at the beginning of the season i tore through silver. If you struggle in lower elos, you belong there.

Yeah and im Diamond V and I can safely say Every ELO is cancer. You cannot carry every game, this becomes especially true in higher elo but still happens in low elo.

I skipped several divisions in silver and gold, only because I was lucky and got people who were actually somewhat decent and wanted to win VIA teamwork.

Even silver players know when they have some sort of advantage and they will usually press it harder than higher elo players because they are so focused on kills.

When gosu struggles to win pre level 30 it is not because he is playing against new players. It is because his mmr is dia 1+ and he is getting matched with smurfs of that level.
