Silver is currently harder than gold and plat
all the diamond+ are boosting buddies and other accounts to get them to gold before end of season
I really feel bad for silvers that just started climbing to get that skin. its awful. I duoed a cpl times with my silver buddy. i swear games are 10 times harder than gold.
in the past few days i had my mmr go high to plat 4. and am gold 2 and i was playing vs plats every match. and it wasn't nearly as hard as silver is right now.
