I have started as a Bronze 2 player. Didn't do good in my placement matches so i was surprised i was not bronze 5.

After i got bronze 2,i started to lose more and more ranked games and eventually i was demoted to bronze 3.That was a wake up call for me.

I decided to just stop and focus. I only played like 2/3 champions in ranked because i wanted to win. Eventually,i got back to bronze 2. After that,i got into a winning streak and got promoted to bronze 1.

I was happy because i was close to silver.Then it got complicated. I would win a game,then lose the next one....over and over again. I just couldn't climb like i used to.

Somehow i succeeded to get to silver promos. I failed. Then i got to promos again.I failed. I failed silver promos around 4 times. The hardest part in LoL are promotions to the next tier.

When you are in promos,that is when AFK/trollers show up. It is very hard to climb the ladder,expecially solo.I knew i can do it. Even with AFK/trollers in team i always tried my best.

Eventually i got to Silver.I was so happy. Always try your best and you will get to your desired elo.

My current goal is Gold. In time i got promoted from Silver 5 to Silver 2. But always when you are close to the most important promotions,that is when something happens.Either a Teammate is AFK or trolling.

P.S : I only want to get to Gold. After that,i think i won't play Ranked anymore. Good luck to all of you i really hope that you will get to your desired elo soon. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

No, don't stop playing Solo. Play whatever you like playing. I play solo and with friends, depending on who's available.

you should solo all the way to challenger, show these premades who's boss.

BTW: don't duo with somebody a different rank than you, I used to duo with a gold player while i was plat, it completely fucked up the matchmaking and my MMR

You will have a much easier time with a group. It's better to be the one doing the 3 on 1 than taking it.

I say no don't stop being a champ and keep soloing. But do whatever you want! Congrats on making it to silver! I just hit gold again yesterday because I have been avoiding ranked for the hassle you described in your post. Best of luck in that climb o/ [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I have a 60%+ winrate with groups. I have 30%+ winrate against them.
