Ranked Just kills the game for me....

You know when you put your all into a game of ranked 10 times in a row, playing carry champions ending in KDA's of a stupidly high amount and then at your last provisional you feel confident. Yes, I lost my last provisional and maybe 2 others but to be placed at Bronze 5 again is just exhausting. Honestly the mmr reset wasn't real. One of my friends ended Diamond 3 last season and placed in silver. Like how the hell? Honestly that's one of many examples. I just wanted to share my thoughts on how it's damned near impossible to climb out. I spent hours on end trying to climb and barely got to bronze 3. Yes, call me a trash player, but you have the patience when you're 22/5/16 as shen and manage to win a ranked game. So i will wear the bronze badge until the day I stop playing this game. It was fun while it lasted but there really is an ELO hell. Honestly any advice for someone who just doesn't want to continue down in hell?

If you don't like ranked then don't play it. Having a high KDA means nothing in a team game. Perhaps FFA Halo Tournaments would fit your play style better.

Get a highly ranked player to carry you to the rank you feel you deserve to be in (or higher) and then proceed to get outplayed until your rank stops decaying.

People play ranked to get to the top. They should be playing ranked to learn their downfalls so they can surpass them to get to a better rank. I'm not saying don't aim high, but don't let your aim distract you from learning.
