Elo on fresh compared to main
How can I struggle to even hit Gold on my existing account but can manage mid Gold on a fresh account? I don't understand how that works.

If you have a large volume of games on an account your mmr is fairly established. That means when a season soft resets you will still be in between the mid point and your old mmr and that your LP/MMR changes will be slightly muted compared to an unestablished account. If you were bronze generally you'll be bronze again.
On a fresh account this isn't the case. A fresh account starts with a roughly mid silver MMR. Because it's a fresh account it also moves MMR much easier allowing for a quicker climb or fall initially than an established account.
TL;DR, For short term changes in rank/mmr, a fresh account is easier to move. However it quickly becomes established itself so long term there is no real difference in climbing.
Because you weren't likely to be put against people of a similar skill set in a new acc (as you have no game history match making is less effective).
Though what I'm saying is merely speculation as i cannot definitively give an answer.
You know how hard it is to lose in silver? I only play fun champs on my alt, tf adc, ori support, etc.. And still can't lose :) it's like you have to intentionally feed to lose in silver
