Demoted

Welp, after climbing more than easily and happily to Gold 1 from the start of the Season; it only took me 4 weeks to get there and it's 4 divisions above my all time peak Elo. I thought, "Sweet! I'll make Platinum 5 easy!" Platinum 5 of course being my goal this season, as I've never been Platinum in the 2 years I've played.

So, on January 22nd or so, I started at Gold 1, 0 LP. Today is March 01, 2017.

I have literally never wanted to punch people in the throat more than I have over the course of playing Solo Queue the last 5 weeks. Which is saying a lot as a Combat Vet of the Marine Corps. I've seen my fair share of fluxed up things.

I have been in 7 Promotional Series' for Platinum 5, each of which I have won at least 2 of the 3 games. I could literally change my name to the Golden State Warriors for how many Promo series I've dropped after being up 2-0. That said, I've officially been demoted to Gold 2 after weeks of trying to overcome the plateau that is Gold 1.

I main Mid. I thought, maybe I'll try some other roles, maybe I'm just not a good Mid Laner. I have excellent numbers, I rotate well; I mean hell, I play one of the best roaming Mid laners this game has ever seen and still, nothing. I've gone from 1 game from Platinum 5, to Gold 2 75 LP..

I don't know what's going on. But I think I've given up the dream of hitting Platinum. It's been far to ridiculous as of late. Any one else?
