I've been trying to get Gold for over 4000 ranked games between this season and last and I'm still not even close. I'm telling you now, unless you plan to devote a large portion of your life to it, forgot about Gold bro. You have to be extremely good at the game to get Gold. It will take an ungodly amount of devotion to get that good. I know because I've tried and currently still trying as hard as I can. I'm trying to learn as much as I can by absorbing information and constantly playing and it's really not working to be honest. I'm left to conclude that I'm not trying hard enough. But if I try any harder, I'd be playing this shit full time with zero time for a life. If you have real life responsibilities and shit, don't even bother trying. It's not worth the effort. You could probably build a million dollar business with that kind of effort, something that is actually useful to you.
