It took me 4 years to get to gold
It feels like I just got to the last boss and beat the game. I played Shyvana 95 percent of my ranked games this year getting level 3 and soloing dragon over and over again. I almost lost my mind when the scuttle crab changes came up and I had to fight the hordes of graves and xins but I'm getting a Victorious skin unless I really blow it and it feels good.
This was even harder this year because I play on a Mac and there is a bug on the OS that makes your client crash every 5 games or so that has happened since pre-season.
Anyway, it was hard for me to get gold but it feels good to finally be there so I wrote a post.
