Ive been in gold for about 3 days and im climbing faster than i was in sliver for over 3 months
Elo hell does in fact exist explain to me how i spend around 3 - 4 months dancing around sliver 5 - 4 and in a matter of 3 - 4 days in gold im about to hit gold 3 already. In gold my teammates feed time to time but they dont feed to point where its overwhelmingly effecting the game they can actually control themselves and not over tilt till the point it ruins the match.
In sliver i would have one teammate die and just quit or give up. Even in sliver when you won lane hard it meant nothing because on the other side of the map someone would feed twice as hard and the enemy would have twice the lead you do just from your teammates dying over and over. At this rate im going to hit plat 5 in perhaps a few days or so. It is SAD that the matchmaking system is soo bad that sliver will never reflect your true skill i was waiting to climb out to speak on this because if i didnt climb out by myself nobody would ever believe me i would have no proof behind my words. I hope Riot sees this and realizes just how bad low sliver MMR really is.
Needless to say if you want to climb you must focus on yourself , i had to educate my self by watching high elo coaching and keeping my champion pool small around the champions i could play well with. In sliver i would 100% validate that half the time blaming your team is a legitimate excuse as someone who climbed out of sliver. Just know anyone who is experiencing the hell of sliver i feel you guys. Some of you are indeed worthy of gold just keep trying.
