how does any one move up ranked ladder?

Like MRD said. Consistancy. Activly try to be an asset to your team 100% of your games. when there is a flood of negative players you can climb by virtue of the fact the odds are in eachmatch the most toxic and most garbage player in the game is on the other team. 4 slots on yours. 5 on their team. Not bad odds.

Don't tilt. Make a impact towards a win. Keep teammates from tilting if you can.

Right now, honestly theres a lot of really tilted people and games are gonna be a mess till it all settles down.

Lowering the starting MMR shifts the entire ranked ladder MMR down and new tiers are confusing folks. So a hell of a lot of folks don't understand why this is happening and dont get why their rank is not at their expectations. so they are takeing it out on teammembers and setting off other easily tilted players. Others are smurfing rather then playing on mains. Both are not ideal situations for a majority of players.

Its a grind. Just keep your head above 54% and you should still climb. Proly going to be 100 to 400 games but hey you can climb.

just playing consistently and limiting champion pool to help do this ..... if you can get into a state where you play well conistently ... it really helps ....

On a side note ... have you ever noticed when people lose its always teams fault and when they win its cos they played well? never do i hear people say that loss was my fault ... its usually if that player did this they would have won .... i believe its kind of a coinflip game but as long as i try my best thats all that matters
