I felt like ranked has been a lot harder this season.

Last season, I hit gold 2 60 points and now I am at gold 2 as well. However, the matches that I am totally beat down during the laning phase or can't follow up the game pace throughout the entire game seem to be a lot more than last season. its like people in gold got really good somehow that I thought I would be able to hit plat this season, but I don't think I can given how many times I can't even farm because the opponent is really good. :(
