Lol, I get to gold then stop caring, all about the Victorious skin. Most the people I've played with since Season 3 who I considered my true League friends are diamonds now or like me stop at gold for the skin. So go ahead make your assumptions but that doesn't change that my game knowledge is vastly superior to most Silvers/Golds. I'm older now, almost 28, I don't have the same competitive fire I had when I was a semi pro at CoD, I play league for the challenge and the learning but I don't play to become Challenger. I'm happy with gold. Most my friends say I could make it to plat if I applied myself but whats the point? Then I'd have some Diamond kid telling me that my plat isn't good enough ;).
Seeing how I can 1v1 my Diamond friends and hold my own makes me assume that your not as good as you'd like to think you are. My stats this year are indeed garbage don't get me wrong but I know I'm better then how I've been playing :). I just have fun playing a game I enjoy to play.
If it makes you feel better we lost and I did awful playing a role I haven't really played since Season 3 and 4. My Mid laner did awful and my jungler was so-so so ya I get that pain your talking about but I'm not going to complain over a video game.
