I just got to Plat
I'm not here to brag or to show off. I'm here because I am truly proud of myself. I feel like I have overcome something.
Ever since I started playing league I heard every horror story from my friends, youtube, and the boards that you could imagine. Ranked was depicted as a nightmare to me and that was planted in my head from level 1.
So as a result I stuck to my favorite game modes, which were arams for the longest time until I eased my way into normals. Last season I barely climbed my way into gold within the last few days of the season which took a huge toll on me. I was stressed out after every game and I constantly doubted myself at every turn.
Come season 5. This season. I told myself I would get more comfortable with ranked. I'd get over my anxiety and I would try my best to get as far as I could.
Right now I can tell you I feel like I'm getting there. It may have taken me 10 months but I'm now Plat 5 in 38 games and I feel like I am finally getting over my ranked anxiety. I feel so great right now despite how sweaty my palms are.
