PSA: To those leaving bronze 1 and those who just got to silver 5

Even though you got out of bronze, you did not escape elo hell. Matter of fact, if you got out of bronze with a pretty good winrate (50% or higher), be prepared for it to tank. I'm speaking from personal experience, today I started out with 52% winrate (W/L: 42-38). However, after one day I ended up with 48% winrate only winning 2 out of the 10 games that I played, leaving me at 44-46 (I took breaks in between to make sure I wasn't tilted). And I'm not going to put all the blame on my teammates, there are areas where I can certainly improve. But when I tell you in the last 10 games I have gotten some of the worst teammates that I've ever played with. They either face-check with no vision, running into fights in the jungle with no vision, poor map awareness, feeding, fighting when we have a numbers disadvantage, constantly being caught out, fighting everything that they see, etc. You know remedial stuff that you shouldn't be doing anymore. There's no reason playing the same champions, the same role (ADC Main) getting a 52% winrate (56% highest) to it tanking to 48% in one day. If you think you're gonna get good teammates because they aren't labelled bronze anymore, get that thought out of your head, you're in for a rude awakening. It's actually gonna be more frustrating than bronze because at least in bronze you expect your teammates to play like crap and be toxic because of the stigma that it has. I'm still going to try to climb to get out of of silver (my goal is gold by the end of the season). I just wanted to share my experience with people that are in a similar situation as I am and those who haven't experienced it yet. And I'm open to taking advice from others.

TLDR; Silver is just as shitty of a place as bronze lol
