In silver, this game is a coin toss, and I'm done this season
The matchmaking in silver is a joke. The skill difference of players is absurd. The game is full with new players vs smurfs.
And it's all a coin toss. You are lucky, you get out, you're unlucky you're trapped
After almost 800 games trying to leave this elo hell, I'm done.
No other game like this one is so poorly designed that after 800 hours you don't feel like progressing at all. I've watched videos, read guides, follow this forum. Nothing, I can't progress. Because almost every guide is made for a perfect team, were no one overfeeds or jungle actually knows what he's doing. Otherwise is all reflex. I don't have insane reflex, not born with that talent, hence I can't do shit agency wise.
Everything I do couldn't save me from poor luck. Been 2 times in gold promos 1 match away, lost it to inters and afks. Now I just succumbed to S4 to a rush of bad luck streak.
The games are mostly uncarriable unless you're really really good, but to be really good you need to play with really good players to get used to fast plays. Here you can't. You have to be insanely good just to move a bracket up if you have bad luck in general. Like where's the logic?
The games are either too easy or nigh impossible, either you have no reply to the insane burst of damage the opponent has or you pop them like free candies. You try to go after objectives, your team goes after kills. It's a mess and never this game felt this messy like this season for some reason. You die way too fast to actually do something
Overwatch, Dota 2, HoN, Paladins, etc. In all those games the ELO bracket feels almost balanced. You play 80% of the times with players your skill. Here, in silver, there's no such thing. The skill discrepancy is stupid, to say lightly
I'm waiting for next season, at least they are working to do something at their horrible messy matchmaking. But I fear is a little too late for this game. My friend list is full of people that invested a ton in skins and left this season for good.
I'm out, I don't have the talent to deal with this mess
