It's insane to me that Diamond was so much easier to get than climbing out of silver.

Tl;dr im a toxic bitch and my diamond account is suspended for a few days. I was like "ok ill play on a smurf and reform and HUMBLE myself" but it's just irritated me more because people literally cant handle being carried. They just int, get frustrated int some more. Like there is quite literally no way to 1v5 if your top laner feeds a hyperscale champ and goes 0/7 in 10 minutes and proceeds to say "sorry guys its just a game though hehe :)" Like holy fuck i had to full mute all just to refrain from typing because it's just THAT TILTING.

It's very hard to not see why low elo players can't climb easily this season. Absolute cancer.

Team based game means wins are commonly out of the individuals control. Ranked is for those willing to grind enough games for their collective contributions to matter.

Sorry bro but if you lost a silver game that is all on you.

There is no way you could not outplay tunnel vision misclicking silvers if you are actually diamond.

all that seems to say is which smurf on the team is better and that determines the outcomes of the match,a lot of the matches for sure feel like that.smurf goes 25-3 against a real silver player. theres no chance.so then u see what looks like int when in fact it is a huge skill mismatch. this seems to happen in a lot of games.game is over by 10 minutes.

My win rate in silver was 55%, I hit Gold and my win rate has increased to nearly 75%.

Silver's been like that for a while honestly, and that's because it's a place where newer accounts get placed.

It's a random mix of new level 30 accounts, actual Silver players who are recently getting out of Bronze from the soft-reset at season start, and Gold players climbing back to their elo.

Moving new players down a few divisions would help the situation a lot, especially with the new Iron league. Never understood the concept of climbing out of Bronze only to then be teamed up with brand new players. How does that make sense?

Its because there are soo many smurfs in Silver the Match making cant make heads nor tails of a game.

When you will have a B1 Smurf, S2 normal, S4 Normal, S3 smurf duo with B1 vs a bunch of S1-3 normals that system trys to figure out what happened.

Next game is mostly S1-3 on both sides but both sides have Smurfs the game thinks this is a normal site up so the next game those smurfs are in the system thinks they are normal players but then you get the first scenario again.

Silver is I would say 30-40% smurfs right now. It totally screws anyone who is REALLY silver or even Gold trying to get out of silver.

Then you have the smurfs that Duo with Iron trash and they get boosted because the smurf is gaming the system. So now we have Silver 4-3 players SoloQing that are really Iron trash and the system thinks they were winning so they must be Silver.

What Riot REALLY needs to do is build a Rank system with a Neural Network and have it figure out what are the best stats to track for Rank. Not just wins/Losses shit.

I'm 100% low elo is the absolute hardest shit to deal with if you aren't really good at certain champs and hyper carry all of your games.

I'm not amazing and shit, but fuck my life with being stuck because I just can't do shit in my ranked games when most of my team is still learning champs or the absolute basics and most of the people I'm against play with some degree of skill. Or at the very least work TOGETHER. I see teamwork on my side about 1 in 15 games or so.

Great. Just shame low elo players why don't you. Hey heres a thought maybe riot shoudld ban low elo players from ranked. That way ranked is only diamond and up. And anyone else who wants to play ranked should win enough normals to get to diamond mmr. Because you know fuck low elo players.
