Why is it so hard to climb from silver 2 ? Huge curve

Hello guys, this is not a qq thread i’m actually looking for advice, not just qq about my situation. So i started Season 5 in Bronze 4, i climbed up to silver in about 150 games. I played a ton of games in silver, improved a ton, now i have about 470 games played this season, so like 320 in silver.What i don’t understand are my bursts of win streaks followed by massive 15 game loss streaks. It seems like every time i’m in silver 4 i go on a Massive win streak all the way to silver 2 and then get demoted right after, followed by a HUGE loss streak. Plz don’t give the “tilting” argument because honestly while i do play to improve, it’s still a game and i mostly have fun with it, i don’t rage and get stressed over losses i just mostly enjoy my self :D what inspired me to ask this was this time around i climbed back from silver 4 all the way to my gold promos, after loosing it i lost 5 games in a row, ok, i took a break of 24h. Next day, nother 3 losses, so i took another day break, followed by 5 more losses...then the next day bursts of loosing streaks with 1 game wins interruptions to those streaks, but back to silver 3 zero lp... Had a solid 65% win rate with vayne (my main adc), dropped to 52% and other champs i tend to win with. I did my research and a lot of people say silver 2 is the new elo hell, i never shared from this belief but i will say that particularly between silver 3 and 1 there is some weird shit that happens with the match making system where once i pass silver 2, i seem to have every friendly lane loose, no joke i have 6 games in a row people rage quit in 5 mins or ff 20, whats the deal? Am i just having some bad luck, have i been getting lucky this entire time?whats going on guys :c

Sounds like you near your current cap, their is some flaw in your game play that is keeping you from your next level. I am not surprised that you are hiting a wall at this point. In my oppion there is a major skill jump from s2 to low gold. Lots of players spike and then fall again back and get stuck in the s1 MMR range even though they have the gold banner.

Though congrats working from bronze to where you are now. I advise you to record your games and review what is happening after your games. See if you can find what is happening so you can combat it. Do not look to your victories, instead your losses to find what is wrong and try to learn from it.

Okay i can totally understand the point, but i’ll give you the example of the last games i played (and yes i know one game isn’t reflective of anything but hear me out), i played 15 games today. I have 2 games where there was an argument in champ select and people raged and brought it in to the game, argument comes and goes eventually an individual intentionally feeds so the game can end faster, and i’m not even using chat the entire time. 1 DC game, so 4v5 we lost. And particularly 2 games where i got paired up with individuals that had frekin PLAT boarders, got the lane they called, and fed out of their fucking mind! Like wth? I’m winning bot lane, and next thing i notice the plat mid lanner is 0/5 in less then 15 fucking mins arguing with the jungler. Like what? How did you ever get plat? Granted, i do get carried plenty of games, i’m not saying im a God, but it’s just weird that i get this crap happen in bursts of 10-15 games

Not all your games are that way though, or your the most unlucky person in the world. The higher you get the more passionate people become, they are almost at X, the promise land is going to be here soon and everything will be better. The problem is that it does not exist and people are always looking for the non existent.

So for the plat player, that was a mid, sound like he rose with the OP assassins and has fallen on hard times with the meta being against him. Who knows maybe he was given the account by a friend. Best advice is do not worry about what people were, they are playing with you currently so they are no better or worse than you now(theoretically).

Silver is a VERY hard devision to get out of, or even climb. During the preseason I kept losing games because of a number of things.

What I would recommend is playing a role thats less carry oriented. Support is a good one for division climbing.
