Cause some stupid player kept insisting on doing atk speed jg thresh, I asked why do it, and he said Brofresco made it work, then I saw others try doing things that youtubers did to be derpy and kept saying it works.

Yea, but even the absolute best silver players are terrible at playing the map which makes it incredibly easy to get far enough ahead in gold to just 1v9.

Nah I was bronze 1 silver 5 and I started playing the map instead of chasing kills, and it's the easiest thing ever to climb out of silver. Just pick a split pusher and gobble up any objective you can. Your role and champion doesn't even matter, I did it as support.

Silver is awful because it has diversity in a bad. A mix between new players and ones that have been there a while so seeing lanes snowball is extremely common there. Its worse then Bronze because you know everyone there fell to it and are of more consistent skill levels.

The players in Silver are weird and the skill level is all over the place..

At least they don't flame as much as bronze though (most toxic div).

I disagree. B1 and B2 were amazingly fun and people tried their best and rarely flamed (B3 was pretty salty though, not sure how it is below that). S5 is a toxic wasteland of "challenjour" smurfs, trolls, and unloved children. It has killed any desire I had to continue playing ranked.

Silver is nothing compared to Diamond 5, at least in silver u can still carry 1v5, d5 is straight up cancer.

Silver's the only division where you need to be marginally better than everyone else at all times in order to climb. - You can't rely on anyone or teach anyone.

Everyone whose skill level is that of a "silver" player will never see gold, unless boosted.

"(streamer) made it work" should never be a reason to "try it out" in ranked. they shouldn't be playing picks at all that need to be "made to work" rather than picks that DO already work.
