However rewards stop at gold 5. So I got my gold 5 in solo + flex and don't see a reason to push further. Anyone else only bother climbing to gold due to rewards stopping there?
For those that push further, what's your logic?

Your rate of progression is Impressive (0.60) over this entire Season You are at the right track to proceed more than atleast 2 Tier before the season ends [2] Your overall performance will allow you to climb PLATINUM III with great ease in the next 30 days.
Try it out for yourself
TEA Nietzsche 3 votesLook at the graph below and at the date of the last update. It updated the last time on 13-Feb back when you hit silver I. As you started off in low silver/high bronze at the end of January the system said "oh look, if he kept climbing like that he'd end up in Plat III at the end of the season". But progress obviously doesn't work like this, you were S2 last season so when you climbed to S1 this season you barely improved in terms of skill, despite climbing in rank. This Plat III projection is just bs, if you want to actually climb you have to improve. And if you want to improve you need to play ranked. Your actual MMR is silver I according to the site so if you want to get to P3 you'd have quite a bit of work to do.
(doesn't work for me though because I haven't used this site before. Looks like it compares the progress between every point where you updated your profile)

There's more to the story about season 6. I had some RL stuff that got in the way of my game time + the maokai reward was unappealing.
My more recent games have all been soloing through flex to gold where i'm constantly being pitted against solo queue plats and diamonds and won 75 percent of my last 20 games against them.
I'm pretty confident I improved since last season based on those feats. ( Mostly map awareness, warding placement and expanding my game knowledge in jungling)
Edit: Soloing through Flex felt like an unshackled season 6 solo queue lol
TEA Nietzsche 3 votesHey dude, I didn't mean to attack you or anything, you don't have to justify your performance.
But one thing regarding flex: don't take it seriously. Nobody takes it seriously. I use it when I am in a shitty mood/need to practise something new and I frequently face high diamond and masters (and the gap between me and them is probably bigger than between me and low gold) and have beaten/even stomped them. But they are SO MUCH better than me and only lost because.. It's flex.
Regarding your initial question about why you should bother: take a look at my profile, as you can see I've played very little ranked last season and ended up in G2. This season I tried to actively improve and spammed ranked and actually got dia - it's super motivating and definetely worth it. I think I've just been afraid to fail so I didn't even try last season, but now I can aim even higher.

I didn't take it as an attack no worries. I didn't mean to come off as offended

Funny, I am currently plat 3 and the chart says that it predicts that I can also hit plat 3 within 30 days. -_-
meowwow71 votespossibly starting off at a higher point and not get caught in the qq pool at the beginning of the season
AFilthyCaitMain1 votesFor fun really. If youre not motivated you wont climb.
Nautoday1 votesUm... it says I could get to Gold II... yet I'm already Plat. And it says my rate of progression is .09 even though I went from Silver 3 to Plat 5.
Seems a bit flawed... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Kai Guy1 votesGet better at the game, to get high enough on the dam ladder that my bronze 4 roommate will finally listen to me when i tell him about basic mechanics, such as last hitting, freezing waves, animation canceling, orb walking, and not diving the same guy who killed him 4 times for a 5-9 time.
Athenes Lulu1 votesI like the color green and getting into plat gives me green borders.
