The Higher the ladder you go, the more boosted the players get I guess?!?!

Naww you've just reached a point above where your actual MMR is. You think you are much better than you are, it's called selective bias, we all do it.

It means either

  1. You are above your true MMR and the players are just better than you

  2. You are a boosted monkey.

Either option you take, both have the same implications.

Yeah eventually in challenger everyone is just boosted bronze players, it's pretty insane kappa

plat is really the honey hole of boosted players. so is gold. its probably much less in diamond. unlikely in master.

o.. i see what you are having a problem with.. your MMR is quite a bit low http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=TheLazySunbro . and you are going against Silver players.

Riot made it easier for people to get to gold this season. which has caused the majority of players skill tier to be adjusted. 28.18% bronze / 27.73% 38.87% silver / 39.67% 23.11% gold / 23.20% 7.97% plat / 7.60% 1.82% diamond / 1.75% 0.04% master / 0.04% 0.02% challenger / 0.01% (the left is overall the right is NA) http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/rankings/rank-distribution/na

here is the thing. Riot has made it easier for people to reach gold with making auto wins in your promo series. Then they took it away in gold so the people who probably are mid silver skill last season hits gold.

Even if they have plat boarders they arnt plat players this season.

As speaking from a higher elo. its a mix. you meet people who do appear to be boosted. Sometimes true, sometimes someone just is really good at countering a certain champ and they straight up own a person.

32.60% of players will be receiving victorious skins based on solo Queue. still not counting 3v3 / 5v5 over all in the solo queue world: 32.96%

it just becomes more obvious when they are boosted
