Silver 4
Is strictly worse than silver 5. I feel so shitty after winning promos because these matches SUCK.
They don't know there match ups at all and it's a complete free for all.... practically blind pick with pick order.
5th pick is usually forced to support 90% of the time.
A lot of people don't have the basic MR and armor runes.
Why is it worse than silver 5? Most of these players are on the downward spiral to silver 5 anyway. I don't even know. I just know that I've won promos to get to silver 4 almost a dozen times now and am almost immediately booted back down afterward. I've spoken with several players that have the same issue. Don't give me that "You are where you're supposed to be at" crap. I know It shouldn't be like this. Me getting to silver 4 doesn't mean I'm bringing down 4 other people with my skill level and begin to lose 4/5 games all of the sudden. I KNOW some of the players I play with and against don't belong here whether it be up or down the ladder.
I hate this system so much. I think I need to give ranked solo Q up and actually coordinate a 5's team into my schedule somehow. Even some really good duo's I've seen multiple times seem to be sort of 'stuck'
So sad :(
