lol can confirm the master player either purchased his account or is lying to you. I ran 2 smurfs through placements to plat and its been just as easy as ever. Low elo is a joke and you gotta seriously be clueless to get stuck down there.

Hello,

While it is true that carrying in bronze/silver is hard(er), I think you're misinterpreting what they said; I'll explain. In lower elos, what lacks the most isn't insane mechanics or anything, it's decision-making. And maybe map awareness. And possibly communication.

So for a Master, if they take the best decision, the best engage, at the best timing possible, it doesn't mean anything if the team doesn't follow. In lower elos, the best decision isn't always the best decision, which I know seems wierd, but it's as it is.

The ranking system -although I do agree it is very flawed for other reasons- works on a average skill. You get to your elo after hundreds of games, not after 10 placement games. This Master person you mentionned would go back to Master even if they were to start back at bronzeV, it would just take them a bit more time.

Also, I would like you to explain to me how higher elo players (DiamondI's, Masters, Challengers) always seem to "luckily" get back to their rank, if as you said "it's rigged" and "rank mean nothing" ?

I don't want to be mean, but your opinion is very likely to be related to you not understanding the game fully, which makes you lose more games for reasons you don't understand.

It's just a suggestion, but I think you would have a lot to gain from watching some high-elo streamers who commentate their gameplay, in order to improve globally. You'll see all that they are doing in ranked which you don't, and possibly you'll find some reasons as to why you "can't carry in silver"

You use to be able to 1v9 bronze-plat easily. The game is very team dependant now and it make individual skill suffer. It is still easy to carry low elo games, just not as easy.

There are a lot of different meanings to get from that statement. This isn't the only season that I've heard master players saying carrying in Silver is hard(er). I mean if you want to hold tight to that one person's comment and interpret it as the ranked system as to why people can't climb out of silver, then go ahead. Though you didn't really give any context to anything here so there isn't really any way to judge.
