Plat to Silver in the New Season

I never write things here because I'm generally passive but to me, this is worth mentioning.

I've been playing League of Legends since season 1 and climbed out the hell that was bronze, silver, and gold. After years of commitment, dedication, and lots of frustration I was in the platinum level and things were finally feeling like they were going my way. All the hours i spent (along with some bucks here and there) felt like like they paid off. With the recent unfortunate events in matchmaking... I went 4-6 (As a support main) and i was placed into silver II.

Silver 2?... I've honestly never been so disappointed and even a bit insulted in my gaming experience. I understand that sh*t happens but to get knocked down so far down I was astonished. On occasion I take a break from League of Legends to get away from the toxic environment. Coming back, I work harder to climb my way up the ranks after this event, I can't say I'm continuing. (it's just one guy who cares... am I right, Rito?) I now understand why people become toxic and harass people over a silly game. A few small errors could result in a loss but its just a loss right? Wrong. All the progress I once worked hard for is gone. So there is no point in grinding anymore. I could play in normal matches and I'm a hard competitor at heart but the rug was swept from under my feet by Riot's system and i feel betrayed somehow.

I'm not asking for readjustments. If anything, this is a thank you to Riot for letting me figure out that I have better things to do with my time than to play League of Legends.

Thanks for the fun times Riot. Really. {{summoner:2}}

End Rant.

I agree its hard to play ranked with all the champs that have little counter play.

If you are a legit plat then you should easily get back into a plat in a month, legit plats dumpster silvers and golds.

honestly if you deserved to be plat, you wouldn't even struggle until reaching high gold. maybe you didn't deserve plat after all.

Climbing out of your new lower rank after a season reset is probably one of the most laughably easy things ever. I have to climb back out of gold every season and it never takes me more than a week
