Leavers and DCers make Silver elo the hardest to climb.

"Back when I was silver" since I'm a pro now XD XD XD.

No but honestly. For those people in silver I feel your pain. Silver is by far the hardest elo, not because of player skill, but more to the fact that it's the elo where the least competitive/quitters and most disconnects happen. I think riot should really do SOMETHING about disconnecting in league. Like I get that they can't refund everyone's LP because people would abuse it, but maybe they should add a system that stacks disconnect matches pre-10-15 mins. Like after every 10 games where you've had a DC'd team mate before 10-15 minutes. You get one of the games refunded. Something to help with silver elo. Cause it's ridiculous down there.

See here, a video from back when I was climbing silver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wV5nsjhn9s

All the disconnects in this video happen within 5 games of each other. Two of the games where the disconnects happened, happened immediately after. Literally two games in a row where I had no impact on the outcome of the game.

Edit: title typo

I can't necessarily say I've had too much bad luck when it came to afkers when I was in silver, perhaps 1/10-15 games or so. But this did remind me of the time where I was playing a ranked game, we were stomping, but then literally 3 of my teamates and 1 of the enemy afked all at the exact same time. I don't know what it was, and I was a little upset that we ended up losing because of it, but it was definitely hilarious.

I gotta say, your video was hilarious though, the music made it so much better, lol. Congrats on making it to gold [sg-ahri-2]

When you dont have a afker/Quiter you have Feeders and or the enemy has a Smurf.

SoloQ Silver you have to play at plat level to get out of.

In gold 3, still can't get my silver account out of silver. SIlver players attitude in silver is garbage, feels like playing a normals level 20 game.

Wait till plat where you meet 75% one tricks that can't play the game when they don't get their champion. [sg-miss-fortune]

A quick look at your match history shows that you've had games like 0/8/2 and 0/5/3 recently. In neither of those games did anyone DC, at least not before they'd already managed to nail several kills and/or died several times. While you're clearly competent with Ivern, it's losses like that which seem to be holding you back.

If you look back at the replays of those games and figure out where you went wrong, you'll learn to avoid repeating those same mistakes. A bit of practice and you'll be carrying your teammates in no time! I have every faith that you can climb.

Best of luck! ;)

Riot doesn't want to and hasn't addressed AFKs.

The simple answer is, if someone AFKs on your team, AFK with them. Riot gets power over a lot of what goes on in their game, but by god they don't get to fucking tell you how to waste your time.

Silver is easy af to climb out of. I climb out of it every year no problem and I barely even play ranked
