Asking Riot to lower my MMR so I can be back in bronze again

Hallbuster·Jun 21, 2017·3 votes·348 views

Silver 5 is not fun. Every game I've won is because the enemy team decided to throw and every game I lost is because my team did. It's impossible to climb consistently unless you play some broken cheese champion like Pantheon, Fizz, Jax, Darius or Fiora and if you don't you're at an inherent disadvantage. I don't know if Bronze was like this but from personal experience, it wasn't. You could play any champion, even those that were off - meta and still win. If all else fails, I will have to resort to "throwing" games myself to go back to where I started.

Idk what going to bronze will do. Then you just climb and get back into silver 5. Rinse and repeat?

Yes, probably.

Or just try and climb out of silver 5. You might as well or else you're just avoiding the problem, not overcoming it and you'll just be doomed to the same gameplay over and over and get very bored.

silver 5 is elo hell not because you can't get out but because it literally feels like hell to play in it

We have players with huge skill gaps. It's a mess in here.

Yeah, that's just how it is since silver is the elo placements matches take place. There's everything from the straight out of 30 to challenger smurfs in the same match.

I agree, almost every game my bottom lane throws the game, and I basically have to resort to mid or jungle, as I don't get myself fed enough in top, although I can win and hold my lane pretty well. Doesn't matter if it's ranked or normal. Muting the enemy team might help, i'll try.
