Ranked...and ELO hell...

Hey so i'm a silver IV, and I absolutely hate how ranked was done by riot. I play with plats all the time, and I perform well in gold 5s. But it seems that in ranked there is nothing I can do to "carry" out of elo hell. You are all probably gonna say "Oh ya dude you deserve to be silver if you are silver" but the fact that so many lower level players are so toxic, some play casually and dont communicate with the team, and some are just plain out bad and feed five kills it just feels impossible to get to a higher rank.

I suggest that the LP you gain/lose from a match should be based on your individual performance. Like the champion mastery, our "rating" could be based off that. Like if I get an S I should get 30 LP or something..

Your individual performance affects your MMR - the greater the MMR than where you are currently placed the more points you'll win when you actually win a game and the less you'll lose when you lose a game. The reverse is also true. So RIOT is actually already doing what you're suggesting.

Feeling impossible doesn't mean it's actually impossible. In fact, you literally only have to win thirty games or so. There's nothing wrong with the ranked system.

Check out your MMR. Also, the system does look at individual performance, win or lose.

It sucks, but if your good enough to play at a higher elo then you will rank up. Like... im silver... but I have no problem getting out of silver 4 ever. Have always had a problem with silver 2 though. But i started playing more consistently and changed up a few things and finally after 3 tries in 1 weekend got silver 1. I am not flying up the chain but if your a gold player or higher you will get gold.

took me forever to realize that and that is why I have been stuck in silver for 2.5 years. Just keep playing the same way and not really getting much better. Finally started figuring so more shit out so hoping I can get into gold next season. Unless your performing at like a Gold2 or higher level, it will most likely take awhile to climb out of silver into gold. My buddies who were gold last season got gold again this season, but it took each of them 100-200 games.

Just saying, i have had the same rant but its been about silver 2. People have same rant about bronze. But for players who can consistently play at a mid silver level or higher getting out of bronze is not too big of a deal. Same for low level gold or plat players playing in silver etc.

FYI not saying the ranked system sucks more that the climb sucks. Lots of trolls for sure, especially at lower levels.

You perform well in gold 5's because you are getting carried and aren't too heavy of luggage yet.

When you play solo, you are getting rekt.

This means you simply don't deserve a higher rank.

BTW, do you know what the consensus of most toxic rank is? Not silver, but plat 5 and diamond 5. I've seen more trolls in plat 5 and plat 1 than I have in silver. I hit plat 5 months ago and I'm still plat (this is my 3rd time to plat 1 then falling), that should tell you how ridiculous plat is. Yet if a diamond or challenger told me that I sucked and needed to get better - I'm going to listen and ask "where do I suck the most?"
