I finally hit gold today

Its has been a long struggle my friends. I went silver both s1 and s2. This season I decided it was time I prove that I've grown as a player. I ended my placement games as Bronze 1 at the start of this season, and quickly worked my way up to silver 1 within a month. I then got stuck in silver 1 for half a year. I failed 3 different promo series (some games because of my own mistakes, others due to afkers or trolls). I grew very anxious about actually playing games once I got into my promo series, and would play maybe one game a week.

Then today, i finally worked up the nerve to attempt to finish my series. I was a nervous wreck! My hands were shakey and I couldn't click my items right. Somehow I managed to go 6/2/6 as jungle Trundle (even though in champ select i had said jungle was my worst role). I gotta say though, my team carried the heck out of me. Tryndamere got ridiculously fed in top lane, and even the AP mid tristana, who I had assumed would do poorly, ended something like 7/1.

I'm so glad we won. Thank you to all the players who were on my team!

P.S. To any red who may read this: There isn't really a good community to post this discussion into. You should make a sub-community like "ranked games" or even like "summoners rift" or something. Theres not really anywhere to post about actual things that happened in a game. For instance, where would you post a thread saying how you had some amazing baron steal?

Already smell the rage from Ranked sub-community. Good idea, maybe Riot will get a better feed back from it.

I made gold today too. Doesn't it feel great. It was my first promo but i felt for certain that my win streak wouldn't last. (I won 4 games in a row to get to it) but it turns out that lady luck was on my side. :P
