Silver the land of the Boosted

So I was placed in Bronze 4 this season, played about 20 games and now I'm silver 3. And let me tell you, GOD DAMN HOW MANY BOOSTED PEOPLE THERE ARE IN SILVER. Like I've been stuck in silver 3 for about a week now because all my games there have have been some guy in gold or silver going like 3-20. Even me going 20-3 myself can't sometimes carry "those" kind of people. And even in normals I always see these plats, and golds playing like bronze. Like I hope so bad that they get demoted everything I play with one.

In silver especially it's because there are so many players in silver and the skill discrepancy between one player and another is too damn high. Like, It takes a lot for a player to move from a silver skill level to a gold skill level...Unless they really hit a string of luck with pro teammates and just overall had friendly teammates the whole way. Even then the gold level can still play like a silver cause they haven't really mastered playing above a silver skill level yet.

All this as well as the players mindset of the day. Like...You'd be surprised how much your mood can affect your gameplay!! Add in the effects of trolls/losses in previous games of the day. Lag spikes...ping spikes. Errors in play...

And you can have a decent player playing like the worst player in the world.

But remember, They don't matter!!! If you spend the time you can learning to improve, Practicing mechanics..Testing new strats..you'll become a better player even if your current rank doesn't reflect that. And eventually you'll become so good that climbing becomes super easy even with the bad players on your team.

Every game, Test yourself! How much harder can i dominate, How much more can i prevent the enemy from getting. How many more plays can i make...How much quicker can i take objectives.

If you choose to focus on yourself and truly become a better player, Winning or losing doesn't matter :D

How is being in silver being boosted what? The only difference between bronze and silver , is that silvers egos aren't as high (most of the time)

bronze = visibly little kids just trying to play the game, we all get it, its fine w/e

silver = the trashy teenagers / xbox live generation who just rage and scream and do the complete opposite of whatever you tell them too. just grouping up and going some place together outright wins silver.

the secret in silver = they arent going to group, so pick a great late game champ and just steam roll to victory because you didnt feed.

Silver 3/2/4 are difficult as its where ''new'' players are generally placed, their not boosted, sure I'm sure SOME are but the majority isn't.

focus on one champion, best way to climb. if you want to climb.

P.S. fuck team-mates take everything yourself, fuck team fights, take turrets and objectives.

seriously 90% of the time your team will be flaming you for not being in the fight while you take a T3 turret, a drake on the way out while the enemy panic then a tier 2 before you back while the enemy have no idea wtf just happened.

Wait till you get to gold <3 that is where you will count a legit boosted account 1 out of 4 games, and you can legit prove to yourself they are boosted by checking their match history stats, along with champion history.

Example if a person was once in silver, played X champion, and lost a lot, than suddenly switched to Y champion and goes on a 10 game win streek, to than get promoted to Gold, and suddenly switches back to champion X and starts losing again.

It is safe to guess that it wasn't them playing, that they were boosted.

I like how Silvers say people get boosted to get there.

Like, why would someone pay to go from the shitiest elo to a slightly less shitier elo? If you get boosted go all the way lol.
