I'm actually scared to get out of silver...

Way back when I joined league I looked at it and was like "Woah! I have to levle up 30 times before I can start playing competative? That is pretty insane!" Then I looked at the ranked devisions and my thooughts were, "So I have to work my way though bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, and then I'm at the top? That is going to be so amazing, the feel of ranking up nd entering a new zone of skill and improving myself will be awesome! Wait, and there are 5 branches I have to work though in each tier to get there! Wow!" (Note, master tier did not exist at this time)

But now, I'm scared to finally climb out of silver. I'm scared because I feel like nothing is going to change in terms of the match difficulty until I hit (if I hit Diamond) or higher. I started getting into ranked halfway through season 4 (I didn't have enough champions, I had spent a lot of ip on runes and crap, plus, I wanted to wait until I was confident in my own play to play ranked) and after my promos I was put in s4 (I won 8 matches I think)

It was here I had two feelings. One; "Sweet! I completely skipped bronze and that must be because of how well I did in those matches. And two; "It was that easy to get past bronze? Wow..."

And now, after seeing so many possts and hearing so many people talk about how bad a lot of the players are in plat that should be in silver, I feel like hitting gold will be a lot less rewarding than I had hoped.

In season 4, I was stuck in the bottom of S5 most of the time, sometimes S4. Season 5 hit and I was placed in Bronze 3, so I eventually climbed and got stuck at s4/s3, but I fwlt like I was doing better. Then, this season I was placed in S2, climbed out a lot faster, and have finally made it to s2/s3 hover (Though I'm at a high point right now) I'm just hoping that igher ranks get more competative soon, because that is what I want. I want the highr ranks to feel more competative and I'm scared that they won't. (Though I will say, if/when I get into a match with everyone having a gold or gigher template, I'll feel happy no matter what.)

TL;DR I hope that hiher ranks become more competative soon, because right now I'm scared that gold/plat will still feel like silver once I get there.
