Hark! Flustered silver players! Friendly advice from a mid-plat scrub
Played a couple of silver games on my smurf, won some lost some. But the game is incredibly stupid in silver. Nobody knows what they're doing, and the people that do know what they're doing can and will get held back by the people who don't know what they're doing.
For all you silver titans fighting to get out, I'm a plat 3 scrub telling you that it's going to be alright. There is an elo somewhere where your teammates aren't complete idiots. There is an elo where you can have fun playing this game. There is an elo where you can build tank and win a game.
To be completely honest, forget whatever pro teams you watch, if you're gonna watch a stream I suggest a mechanically intensive player. Pick the most noob-stompiest, gg-when-fed, nobody can deal with champ(Akali, Damage renekton works, Riven, all those champs you hate), get semi-good at them, and watch the elo rise.
Then you hit plat 5, where it's worse than silver, with better players. Gl!!
