From S5 -> Gold 3 Solo'ing
Spent a couple months so far this season climbing from S5 to G3 and I'm continuing to climb at a steady rate as a solo player. I've met people online randomly and played a follow up game with them once or twice cause we got along but overall I'm strictly solo.
No voice chat. No premades.
People who want to improve will improve.
People who want to blame their lack of success on: voice chat, DQ, trolls, team feeding, boosters, op champions, op items, and whatever else people like to blame these days, will never improve.
They don't want to get better at the game, they want the game to get better at accommodating their specific needs to win. This is ranked, earn it, don't beg for it. Ask what you can do better every game and you will climb. Stop asking what riot can do better for you so you can win. Thankyou.
