Platinum vs. Silver

Hello Rioters!

There used to be a group that continuously made game chat rooms on both EUW and NA servers for "Plat vs. Silver" games to give gold and below players a chance to get games in with plat and higher players. They would give tips, help point out mistakes, and explain areas where the "silver" players could improve in after the games. I did a bit of searching on the web and boards, but all I could find were announcements of games that were previously being set up. The most recent I could find dated back to June.

If this concept still exists and people are still doing this, where can I go to be notified when a game is being made? I'm a gold 3, and I've been gold 3 since Season 4, with over 400 ranked games played in Season 5.... I really could use some help on improving, and watching streams/guides from youtubers, etc. have not been helpful. I think the best and most direct way would be for me to actually play against higher level players.

you arent missing much honestly. sure plat players have better mechanics but they still just make horrid micro decisions. what i mean by this is trying to think about "why am i pushing this, is this the optimal usage of my time post a teamfight, where should i be when this comes to objective control?" questions like that are basically not addressed in both silver and plat. the best advice i would say is go spectate a game through the client that is higher then plat elo. you will learn alot just my paying attention to every single little mistake/play. other then that i would say that plat is just silver + ego. however to answer your post there is a really cool sub reddit called Summoner School thats great to learn from!

When i was in plat v silver it was just a way for plats to have an excuse for womping lower tiers could have gotten unlucky but over the course of a month, I did about 20 - 30 games,and most of the time i got destroyed and my main opponent just left without giving any sort of tips.

They were horrible to play against because honestly there generally better, but they also love to taunt and insult you, they love to run around your nexus when it has 1k hp to prolong the game and add insult to injury if they hadn't already.
