And quite frankly im disappointed because it feels like I stepped back into silver. People flaming left and right, troll picks, throws like this is a sport. Granted im not amazing and free of flaw but like, lol. Are all (5) 4th divisions this bad? I remember gold 5 being extremely bad as well.

the learning curve starts at d3 maybe d4 but anything below that is mindless clicking. The only thing you learn from bronze-p1 is how to not kill the first person you see in front of you.

Plat is average elo, but people in plat have that challenger attitude, so yeah they need to carry, and get get carried..

Plat is a more colorful silver and yes the last division is always a cesspool

Every bottom division is like that, with exception to Iron (Iron is "wtf are we doing?" as being clueless, not as flame) But I'd have to say that a lot of higher elo players (on youtube) seem to agree that plat is probably the most toxic elo in the whole game, even more than silver.

The way I understand it, Silver is the level of "I'm not bad anymore! But apparently I lost the coinflip, and my entire team still is bad, so feed me, mr. jungler!" (To be fair, this is extremely accurate, and especially this season where matchmaking is quite literally pairing silver players with both gold 1 and IRON 3, they're actually quite justified when talking about that coinflip bit on some occasions)

And Plat has been described to me as "I DON'T CARE IF I'M 0/7, I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I'M F##KING PLAT! BOW BEFORE ME, PEASANTS, AND DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY OR YOU'RE ALL REPORTED FOR TROLLING AND INTING!" (I wouldn't know...I'm not plat. >.>)

I've played with everything from low bronze to challenger. The game is pretty toxic everywhere in my experience, but silver, plat, and masters have a special breed of toxic. Masters is by far the worst experience I have ever had and was a large part of why I stopped playing. Everyone thinks they are the next Faker and god help you if you pick/do something they don't like. They will flame the chat, flame the pings, int, troll, afk, you name it and they'll do it.

Just wait till you see diamond 4.

Wait till you get to Diamond 4, troll picks, ragers, flamers, inters, and people leaving the game after 2 deaths, almost 90% of the game you would lose your mind and become a toxic person after a while, I would say gold is the best elo to learn because people actually tries their best to climb to plat, once you hit plat people just dont care anymore and they just play because they are bored
