I will tell you the truth that Riot does not want to admit (because you would stop playing), nor does every high elo player (Because this would deflate their ego's), nor will any youtuber with video's like "How to escape bronze/silver" (because it would invalidate the snake oil they are trying to sell you for more views)
The Game is fucking rigged.
It forces you to have a 50% win rate.
It is quite literally trying to make you lose.
Riot knows it, Riot does not care.
People on this forum know about it or deny it because they are oblivious and brainwashed by false statistics.
Then explain how there even is a VERY notcieable skill difference when you compare say a bronze to a diamond, and how most high elos can quickly shoot through the low elo system while ofc low elo can't (given the countless repeated experiments they've done with low elo smurfs which enables and breeds the smurf culture, and so much so they become the one of the biggest reasons behind what is known as the "elo hell" in low elos (many high elo do not approve of its existence, but they don't realise they created the damn thing with their unstoppable smurfing in the first place)... that is enough evidence).
It is true that a system like what we have does enforce grinding into the ladder where a player of a similar skill to their rank will be stuck grinding for some time before being allowed to move on, or in other words it's badly designed in that it hardly allows players to "progress" through the ladder but rather it requires a player who's already better than their rank to "bust" through it, HOWEVER it still doesn't change the fact high elo players actually play better than low elo.
You are the one selling snake oils, by heavily implying that that rank is completely false and meaningless. The irony is strong in this one.
Hell, if the game is completely rigged against you as you say, wouldn't someone making their way to high elo is MORE impressive? Why are you saying it as if it's completely bullshit and "snake oil"?
