Anything you can pull out of an a pile of animal poo > Silver players

Is it just me or are silver players impossible to carry??

They're not bad enough at their champions to be placed in bronze, but because of this 90% of them seem to think that any champ below 50% hp is automatically killable and I get to cringe as a I watch teammate after teammate dive into a 1v3 and get absolutely destroyed. They have enough confidence in their champ that they know they can outplay some people but sometimes it becomes too much and they end up chasing every single opportunity for a kill and when this happens late game it usually just ends up throwing the game.

Anybody that's reached Gold+ please leave your opinions on silver, or things that you learned to do to help climb out of this miserable bracket. I hate to use the term "worthless" but right now it seems like the best way to describe half of my teammates. I know a bunch of people are going to comment "Stop blaming your team" or "you're toxic" or some other bullshit, but I'm not sure how to carry a game when my teammates are dead about 50% of the time.

Feel free to comment or flame, whichever your prefer

the problem with silver is that there is such a huge variance in player ability. there are silvers that should be in gold, and there are silvers that should be bronze 5....i scratch my head sometimes at how we supposedly have the same MMR, yet someone thinks it's acceptable to go adc teemo, or flash under turret to get stunned and die and many other basic things that should not be happening if we are supposedly the "same skill level"

what if the animal ate a 1/2 carat diamond ring worth $200,000,000

Of course carrying Silver is harder than bronze. Based on your level of skill, you can easily pick off <800 MMR players, but in silver you are fighting equally ~1200 MMR players. They aren't going to be so easy to just kill them all because they are better than bronze and you are not much better than silver.

If your teammates suck, that is another issue.

I enjoy nothing more in your post than the end, in which you offer the option to flame, as if people needed the invitation.

Still, the only response I have for you? It could always be worse.
