Why are there so many people in gold 5?

Gold 5 has the most people of all the ranks/divisions even more than silver 5 at least in NA. I can certainly tell too, this rank has been some real elo hell for me as of late. I haven't seen this much feeding since when I first started playing this game in season 4. It seems people are getting placed in gold 5 really easily and I had to climb to it from bronze 1, only to feel like I'm back in bronze.

It's the minimum rank to receive the victorious skin, so many people just stop after reaching it.

Pretty much this.

There are also many people who boost just to get that Victorious skin.

Well at least u have the practice from bronze to do it again.. just climb up out of gold 5. I felt the same way though, after gold 3 it felt better and gold 2 and gold 1 I was playing games with and vs plat and it felt wat better.

I hear ya... I'm in the same boat. We just gotta get better, so we can consistent carry the fools and climb slowly.

I consider all gold players under 55% overall win rate pretty much in a Garbage rank and don't even bother having any expectations. Season 6 is where the Platinum 5 will be garbage rank due to new change.
