Mid silver is elo hell.
The reason there are so many struggling in bronze is because there are floods of players attempting their placement games coming from zero experience. Once you actually rise out of bronze, you then have to carry through countless uneducated players to even achieve gold.
ff4sk5 votesI agree with this.
Usually in bronze people are trying to win and actually climb games, meanwhile in silver you get trolls, people who've just finished their placements, or just general shit players.
Climbing out of silver was twice as hard as climbing out of bronze mainly because silvers are literal toxic scum who can't play the game for shit

Bronze III player here, does that mean gold players have the skill of toxic silvers and the winmentality of bronzies?
ff4sk2 votesGold players have better decision making, reaction time, and game knowledge than any silver can hope to have. You'll still get a few toxic shitters like in every elo but once you leave silver it's not AS bad however it's still bad since people still tilt easy and expect their team to play around them rather than with them.
See You At Baron2 votesUnfortunately true. I climbed 3 divisions up to Silver 5, since reaching it, have won 1 game and lost about 5. One of those games I was fed as hell as 
but our 
decided it was a good idea to rush Luden's 
, die 16 times while still building 
. Meanwhile 
doesn't understand the concept of putting her ball on the pony so we can wombo their whole team. So I was like 10/2 at one point and fell off b/c we couldn't team fight for shit
It's one thing if you're just bad, everyone is bad in Silver. it's another if you're bad and a complete moron that apparently doesn't understand how the game works
FingerFlavored2 votesMy 2 cents is that he is right.
I leveled 4 accounts to gold and 1 from bronze. Silver 3 are full of people who think there good, but have no idea of how to play the game.
It takes me 10-15 extra games to get out of silver 3 instead of the usual 5-7 per tier..
The one major flaw in silver 3 i hate is all the tower diving for 1 person and end up giving triple kills.
Example 1: I would bully my lane opponent and he would have to back, Lucky for me he/she will lose out on 2-4 minion waves easily if he backs. Guess what.... Our jungler or Support would try and sneak from behind and just die. Which keeps him in game. I am a mid laner and this happens all the damn time.
Example 2: I would roam bot and got our self a kill, but my bot lane chase the second champion beyond tower to be surrounded and killed by the mid laner and/or jungler. This happens way to much in silver 3.
Just be happy with the little things, because it adds up.
VladTheMage2 votesAs a Gold player, can confirm. Lost a shit ton of games in Mid silver because of newbies combined with trolls and bronzies. Started in B5 this season, 1 week later Silver 5 and after 4 months gold. Silver is way harder than bronze.
Anotherherolost2 votesI've climbed out of Bronze twice and Silver is worse for BM and trolls. The guys in Bronze don't flame that much since they don't feel like they're being held back. In silver you get one asshole every game who thinks hes miles ahead of everyone despite having garbage farm and chasing every single kill.
Anatharion1 votesi've been in bronze for two years its total elo hell. most players that play this game play in bronze elo bracket.
1 800 Top Lane1 voteswhere do you think all the bads come from bud? It's like trying to escape a tanker while they are pouring gallons of water into it.
Craft Zeppelin1 votesMy post here several days ago literally sums this up.
Sasogwa1 votesHigh challenger is elo hell. Because it is actually hard to carry games there.
FanOfToiletPaper1 votesElo Hell is more than just an area of ranking; it's a messed up system. I was just on a team who completely smashed the other team. I achieved an S+ rating. The next match........... IT PUT ME ON THE TEAM I JUST BEAT. WTF IS THAT?! So I got to suffer through a feeding frenzy of a loss....... from the team I JUST BEAT! If the difference in skill levels is THAT clear in-game, how the bananas am I being put on their team? (Stuck in s4.)
