Since I can't climb....

I didn't play ranked during Season 3 or 4. I just stuck to normal games while learning the game.

Mid-way through Season 5, I noticed I was being matched primarily with Platinum and Diamond players in normal games.

So, I decided that I may as well get the Victorious skin that season and started playing ranked games. I played 40 games to hit Gold 4 before stopping.

I found some free time during Preseason 6 and decided I wanted to hit Platinum 5 before the reset, so I played about 70 ranked games over a week and a half. I succeeded.

And why do people just downvote whatever I post?
