Why I'd have more fun playing a match with Bronze players if I'm in Bronze.

See, I can't seem to get out of Bronze 5. There are lots of reasons; AFK, unskilled, or just harassment. But the one thing I've always hated, more than anything else, is playing with a Silver or Gold ranked (even Diamond ranked) player.

Why?

They don't ever seem to play. If I ever see a Gold 3 playing with me, a Bronze 5, I know I'm going to lose.

Once played with a Gold player, toxic as ever. Played as I think Annie mid, and fussed at us because we couldn't push and had lost a lot of ground. Then, before we could even try to turn the match, she decides to (instead of play) film us doing bad on a 4v5 and I believe report us afterwards. The person wanted proof of us doing bad.

All I'm saying is, I was in Bronze 4 just 2 days before, was doing great playing with only Bronze players and then suddenly: 1 AFK in my match, then 2 silver in my next, and lastly 1 gold to put me back into Bronze 5. I don't like that.

If I'm in Bronze 5, put me against Bronze only. If I'm on a win streak of 5 or more wins, put me with a Silver 5 or 4. But unless I'm in Bronze 2 or 1, I honestly don't want to be with Silver or Gold players unless I'm at a point where I can hold my ground and have teammates who can as well. That's why its so difficult to get out of Bronze 5 for me. I hate playing with people who have no reason to try if things go bad, they'll still be in a high rank, meanwhile I'm struggling to get out of Bronze 5 and 4.
