Feels bad man
Finally reached my goal of achieving the rank of gold. This is after two seasons (years) of half my friends list and friends I played with achieving gold while I was stuck in silver 2-3. Finally something clicked and I improved enough to reach gold (sadly in preseason so still silver border and no skin). Now in season 6 I have finally reached gold (even early in the season!) and qualify for season rewards and all my friends either quit or are stick in silver 3 or 4 since the release of dynamic queue and no longer care about ranked or the game and have basically quit as well :((.
Tl, DR. Finally reached goal rank where a bunch of my friends were but all either quit or have quit playing ranked and they will only assume I got carried or call my achievement meaningless since dynamic queue. Feels bad man.
