I wonder how the hell some people even got Plat

I know, I know, usually people say plat is just fancy bronze, but let's be real her: you need at least some skill to get up there.

And in my current loss streak I kinda found everything that I had seen the last time in Silver, or even bronze eons ago.

  • a J4 who was the only tank in the team, but plays full AD because he's a killgreedy moron who wants to make "big plays", then blames me for picking Janna and not a tank. Like... what the hell? How can I know you gonna build that braindead?

  • An enemy Draven with about 14 kills crushing into our bot inhib tower - AT NOT EVEN 15 MINUTES.

  • A Sona support that somehow managed to die seven times in 15 minutes against an usually harmless early lane, also flaming like crazy.

And so much more I dont even want to recall right now to keep my blood pressure under control.

And the list goes on. Especially for someone like me who plays gimmicy, team reliant picks (full AP Raka/Sona Solo lane for instance) and even got to platinum like that in the first place, this is just hell. Why are the teammates I get in Plat literally worse than literally EVERYONE I had in gold? I mean, if you are that bad, how did you even GET past gold?! I can understand that sometimes people get carried by sheer luck, but MORE THAN AN ENTIRE LEAGUE? How is that even remotely possible?

I just wish that my teammates knew how to not get picked off every game.

How about instead of blaming your teammates for getting picked off, you ward better and prevent it yourself. Just a little tip to improve your gameplay! :D

You can ward all you want, set pings all you want. There will be always that one dumbfuck who dies anyways <_<'

To be fair, if someone was Plat last season, that doesn't really mean much.

Since we could have a 5 man premade, you could queue up with your 4 favorite Plat players and be the Bronze guy and let your team carry you. Doesn't mean that person actually knows what they need to do to be at that level. I had a Gold border player want to play Vi as full tank. I asked "not even Tri?" and they asked what Tri was. Umm, what item beginning with Tri does Vi normally build? I don't even play Vi and I know she likes Trinity Force.

I mean you can play Vi with Black Cleaver and Iceborns, got the sheen procs and the phage speed plus tankyness and 40% cdr.

But how can you be gold and not know one of the most common items in the game? Like... how is that even possible? O_o

Oh yeah, I completely agree that she could've gotten a different sheen item and it'd be fine, but just the fact I said Tri and she had no clue what it meant just shocked me. If she was like "why trinity force, I want full tank" then fine, but to be confused by the short hand name of a fairly common item is just odd.
