DIAMOND STUCK IN SILVER!!!!!

Isedelica·9/21/2017, 11:03:23 PM·4 votes·6,874 views

so I have been reading some post of how diamond players are stuck in silver on there smurf accounts they do eventually get out but its a struggle for them and they call silver rank elo hell

and its not just one person there seem to be many people who say this

and they say its horrible and that its no wonder some people are stuck in silver

(EXAMPLE QUOTE NOT MINE) Some players feel like they know exactly what to do and lane / last hit really well and I'm surprised they're in silver, and then there's others that I'm shocked have even made it this far.

People feed out of control here It feels like the best way to win here is to just stomp your lane and split push. Team fighting is a crap shoot, people are uncoordinated, don't follow up, and engaging is a huge risk because you may engage and only have 1-2 people follow up, or attack the wrong targets

I was a little embarassed about the struggle here so I mentioned it in a group and a bunch of other Diamond / Master level players were having the same issues

Diamond stuck in silver....so they're silver rank players

Maybe they are not as good as they pertain to be...

If diamond players are hard stuck in silver... They must have paid someone to boost their main account to diamond.

low ELO can be randomized hard due to some REALLY awful players making it nearly impossible

however, Diamond players rarely get "stuck" in silver even if it takes them 50 games or so after bad placements luck.

I cant picture a diamond player getting "stuck" in silver, their mechanics and playstyle are just completely different than those players and the mistakes silver player makes are so easily exploitable. But you can find yourself climbing really slowly depending on what you play. I found myself losing ALOT more on my smurf than on my main playing stuff like nunu/ivern and frontline tank junglers, but had a really easy time destroying games playing warwick when I made a smurf that was placed in silver 2. The account was literally for playing while drunk and I still got to gold 4 on it in not very many games and playing things like vayne jungle for fun, and im only D5 so I cant really imagine someone with actual D+ mechanics getting stuck in that elo.

Those people who only play stuff like nami/lulu/janna who smurf in silver might have abit of a rougher time though.

in the end of season its always very hard to play in rank, espeically low elos, im d5 and i duo with my friend who is also d5 in sliver elo. we just cant win, they always have a really skilled player, i once met a player who rekted me in lane which even rarely happens in my own account's rank games ( its always the map decision or jungle issues or whatsoever that puts me behind in lane, but rarely got rekted in solo, this guy just completely shut me down in lane), then i went to check him on opgg and he never played this champion b4, its gonna be a booster.

Will say: main account is silver games with some gold people tagging along and several bronze. Those games are WAY harder and more unpredictable than on my alternate account where I am playing against/with plat/diamond in my matchups.
