How do people do it
How do people escape silver. Seriously. Like, no joke. I've played 95 games, won 46 (albeit that's not that many games). Some games I play bad. Some games I play smart, but the rest of my team (or most) plays bad. I've been in promos probably 10 times between Silver IV and Silver III (only once in S3). Based off of my experience in ranked, it would take a few lifetimes to escape low ELO. Some days it just seems impossible to win, whether it be myself playing or the rest/most of my team's playing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to act skilled and therefore state that somehow I'm the greatest LoL player in the world but everyone else is dragging me down. I mean, I'm in silver for a reason. But still, every game seems as if the enemy team is inherently better at every aspect than mine. I don't understand how people get promoted. Do people duo queue to make the grind easier and reduce the risk of a feeder or troll? Or do they just ram their heads into their computers playing game after game, win or lose, until they get promoted? Both? I really, really, don't understand.
Half this post is just me being upset over losing, the other half is me actually inquiring as to how people get promoted.
