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}}
