I want to prove to my brother that ELO hell is fake, and that I'm just better than him

My brother is a jerk, mkay? He's better than me at pretty much every conceivable board/card/video game known to man. Ive never even beaten him at a board game, let alone had a board game I was better at. He can wreck me in fighting games... and RTS's? HA. What a joke. Like I could ever out Age of Empires that douche. However, there is one place that I am his better; League. Now, I'm not saying I'm good at league. Dear god no, I'm silver through and through. I think I can make gold this season with my dope support buddy at my side, but that's about it. Not exactly shooting for the moon. But I am better than him; I ended last season Silver III (after rage quitting ranked for the most part) and he ended Bronze IV.

Now, according to him, this is because I got "lucky" with my placements, as I went 8-2 my first season of ranked and was dropped in Silver II, and have only been out of silver once, when I carried myself out of Bronze II... Which, to me, said ELO hell is a sham and an excuse. But I want to prove this to him. Because fuck him, right? Dude thinks that he just HAS to be better at everything, and it's just a misalignment of the stars that I outrank him every season, not that I'm just better. So I have a plan...

I want an account in Bronze V. I'm currently leveling a smurf that I intend to buy XP boosts for just so I can climb quick and get into ranked. But there is only one problem; I view the only conceivable way of making Bronze V is to tank my placements, which I refuse to do. I don't want to purposefully ruin other peoples games just so I can prove a point to my brother. I know that I can get that smurf out of Bronze, and I want a chance to prove it. So Rito, is there a way to make this possible? I'll pay you, bend over for you, do whatever you want... Just help me get an account in the lowest of the low so I can finally prove to my older brother that in one area, I am his better, and that his rank is his rank because that's the rank he deserves.

EDIT: Look, I get it. Silver is barely any better than bronze. But we already agreed that if I can take an account from Bronze V to Silver V in the span of a season, however long I deem necessary to do such an act, he will admit that I am his better. So I don't need speculation, I just want to know if it's possible to get an account auto-placed in Bronze V. Thanks

I think you're investing too much time into this. This is the kind of stuff diamonds do because they've got nothing to do atm. You have a long ways to go to getting good at the game. Instead of trying to beat your brother at some nonsensical contest of epeen where even if you win, he'll still chock it up to luck because he's in denial, why not just keep striving to get better?

If you keep getting better and make it to gold, you can just wave your rewards in his face if you want to.

I respect your comment, but I must say; I don't care about my rank that much. It's not something I view as innately important. I just want to have fun playing a video game, and in my opinion, this is one way of doing so. Technically, I could make diamond on my main and rub it in his face and his excuse would still be elo hell. So... I think I'm putting the proper investment of time into this. It may not be something you would ever do, but it's something I would.

They're siblings. Its sibling rivalry. There is no sense about it. He just want to through and through win his competition.

^ I absolutely admit that this is an epic waste of my time and energy. However, that just makes me all the more determined, because it is a senseless sibling rivalry. If there is even the slightest hope of a Rioter saying "ey bish, get that account to level 30 and hit us up and we'll drop it in Bronze V", I want that chance.

not condoning it but you might be able to buy a bronze 5 account from someone. I don't know how riot feels about it though. I mean, if someone was legit B5 and didn't want it anymore, then yeah, sounds good to me. But that's a whole 'nother question for rito XD

Edit: I have a brother who plays, and I always try to make sure I'm up on him in ranked. He's got better mechanics fo sho, but I've got better map awareness of objective focus XD

Even if you do it he'll just say you got good teams and got lucky.

There's no point. And if you get caught you'll get seriously punished by Riot.

Smurfing from gold I got a b5 account to Silver 3 in 2 weeks lol. Elo hell is bullshit. Bronze is just suffocating if you can't hard carry.

To be real. silver 3 and bronze 4 is quite the same in my eyes. I sorta doubt he will be convinced

You're more than likely to be placed in low bronze anyways after placements. Even if you finished silver 1 if you trash your promos you'll be low bronze ;p Even if you went 10-0 you'd still probably end up in bronze.

Every bot lane feeds in Bronze....How do you propose that you can carry an account from Bronze to Silver.

That's something my dipshit brother would say :) hence the reason for this. By the way, I'm an adc main. So if bot lane feeds, then that just means I'm trash.

Well I'm a Mid main and I'm a shit AD Carry.....guess I'm out of luck lmao....

As a support I did that this year. As a mid main, I would suggest picking mids that can destroy the carry and are mechanically easy. Talon is pretty good low elo, fizz, zed if you can play him but he's not easy. Kat does well if you're not first pick (don't pick into a cc team, or blindly).
