silver elo is true hell

I've been underestimating silver, so i had Vayne and blitz in bot lane, first core item, vayne build Infinity edge. So I tell her "vayne that is not gold efficient", 2nd core, she builds Stormrazor, at this point I was thinking "this vayne is mentally challenging", I tell her "Vayne wth are you doing?" She gets so mad that she sells all her items and tells me "since you know so well about vayne, why dont you tell me what to build?". Mean while Blitzcrank still has relic shield in 25 min in to the game, which made him so low on gold cuz he didn't upgrade his sightstone, later in 30 min, sells relic shield for giant's belt. I tell him "blitz how are you going to earn gold?". He tells me "time". he still haven't finished his quest. Do silver players have no understanding of this game? Or take the time to understand what each items do? I was underestimating silver, Some players actually don't know wtf they are doing.

this is why i stopped playing ranked.. as soonas u you get one of these people on your tam its over

but riot seems to think "brand new players are silver"

and thats what makes silver hell to try to climb out of... i mean sure if u get a 5v5 game with 5 silvers climbing is easy enough

but you cant get a winstreak when u get noobs like every other game

u dont know whos team they will be on.

and its just so toxic to have the game deiced by matchmaking before u get into the game that i stop playing ranked.

and eventually u stopping getting +33 per win and start getting +18 for a win and -16 for a loss because of those random games that ended in losses beyond your control

and sure if u want to spawn champs that can 1v5 carry then sure you can torture through it.

but unless those are the champ you WANT to play and have fun doing so.. its not worth the time, effort, or stress.

climbing out of silver is possible if have the skill and u want to spam the op champs that can get you out. but in my mind that donest take "skill" that is abusing the system to try to get past its flaws.

im more concerned about having fun... and u just cant have fun in ranked in silver past the very start of the season.

you can spend 50 min trying to hardcarry a team and barely scrape by with a win, then lose the next game within 4 min because someone on your team is a noob.

and i had enough of that.

in unranked im playing vs golds and plats.. im not going back to that mess

"brand new players are silver" true af

brand new players play at a bronze 4 level becuase they lack game knowledge

if u put ANY brand new player in bronze.. they WONT be able to climb out. and having them in silver with the same mmr as people who DID climb out of bronze. makes actaul silver hell

and it never gets better because as soon as the bad player get demoted more "new" players are shoved into silver"

thats why at the start of the season it is so much easier to climb out of silver, becuase you are much less likely to have a bunch for NEWER players in silver

....the vast majority of them totally screwed up thier promos and liked dropped out to bronze where they cant climb out.. while the actaul silver players may have only dropped one division.

climbing out of bronze is easy.. becuase ALL the players save make one players who is also climbing out is bad

but in silver that one BAD player turns the game into a 4v5.. and thats makes winning nieght impossible

and its a crap shoot which team gets said new player and therefore wins.. becuase riot things "new players" should have silver mrr.

dont believe me?? i placed silver 1 in season 3, i played at a level i now know to be a bronze 4 level.
