Is it just me, or is it just incredibly hard? I've played in elos ranging from B5 - G3. Lord, even Gold was easier to climb in. A person recently told me that most of the new players are placed in Silver 3, is this true? If so, it'd explain the Zyra Jungles and Anivia ADCs I get every other game.
Dock With Me1 votesIono. I got some coaching from my buddy. Basically 1 trick and learn to hardcarry. Plat is where you start playing whats good for the comp. I have 300+ games on kindred and im on a 62% winrate with her.

The one I just played had a duo go AFK
the one before that had a zyra jg & everyone else lost lane except me
The one before that, I had my supp and mid AFK because I was 0/2 Jinx.

ViciousSummoner1 votesYep, baseline mmr/elo is S2 to G5.
FOR JUSTICE1 votessilver 3 is the exact middle ground for ranked, youre either better then 50% of players, or worse. statistically speaking this would be the best place to give an accurate measure.
MiracleMorg941 votesIt just depends on a bit of factors, but my main account I'm sitting pretty in Silver 2, and I had to climb out of S4 and S3 when I started after placements. (I was in S2 before last season ended but unluckily got demoted right before so placements stuck me in S4, since they never stick you in the same one you ended on).
Anyway, last season, I was able to climb by spamming support, as I'm pretty good at it. This year, I'm trying to figure out my niche and what is good because of all the extreme changes Riot has done (masteries, runes, etc).
It comes down to the meta and what is strong, but you still need to find what YOU are good in and stick with that, and then you'll climb.
130x1 votesLeague is like poker. Each player is a card, skill is what card you or your teammates are. Upon queing in, dealer Riot shuffles the deck. Winning/losing is luck based.
Every card in every game should be the same(skill). But the way the climbing is set up keeps this from ever happening.
