3 years of "win x games, so you gotta lose x games to win again".

I'm so sick of this bullshit. It's everywhere, normals and ranked. First season I had 600 ranked games and last one I had like 180. And right now, I really have no desire to start playing placements and start climbing again. Just knowing when you win 2-3 games in a row and then you just wait until you get some 0/15 "just a bad game" dude on your team so you can lose to start trying to win again. First season playing I got to p1 only to drop to p3 and I was salty as hell. 2nd season I got diamond just to realise d5 is even more toxic than anywhere I played, and finally last season I got d5 just for the border. This year I wanted to try something higher up the charts but... Idk, I still like the game and champs but this shit is just turning me away from the game.

Sounds like you need to focus on getting better my friend if you want to rank up.

Think about it this way. Your not bitching about bronze elo. Hell if you wan to complain about bad teammates look at bronze. But why aren't you? Is it because your much better than those players and you just rank up easily regardless? What about silver? Or gold? Or plat? Yes toxicity and trolls are at all elos but its always been that way. It would be nice if everyone played their best or didn't troll in games, but sadly that is not reality. Riot continues to try and improve toxicity and trolling (although no where close to perfect ). So I guess I get complaining about that but at the end of the day what good does that do you? To me it sounds like you are more frustrated about hitting a skill wall . Hell diamond 5 is a hell of an achievement. But at some point you have to realize rank population % decreases the higher you go making it harder and harder to rank up. At some point you will hit a wall and have to improve if you want to rise. We all get frustrated and get mad at the things around us when we hit our walls. But reality is to get past these walls we need to improve.

Imaqtpie and other pros call diamond 4-5 trash tier. So what you going to do? You going to cry about being trash tier? You going to improve and get good enough to kick some higher elo ass? Or you going to just quit? You have options, but you know the one you need to choose if you want to reach a higher rank.

I hear how toxic plat or diamond is. I am just a low elo scrub so I can't say I have played in that environment. But at the end of the day I get it. I get the feeling, we all feel that way no matter what elo we are. We get to a point we feel we can't get past and its these damn trolls ruining the game. But tell me what would you say to me if I made the same post? If I was bitching about gold or silver? Would you tell me to get good? Probably, I would if I were you.

Everyone bitches about this same phenomenon you are complaining about. And yes Riot's match making does do some weird things. But at the end of the day its been the same and to reach higher ranks players have to power through. It will never be perfect and may never get better than it is now. If you tired and want to chill at your current rank do it. But if you want to reach higher complaining on the boards won't help.
