Why people are stuck in silver

after being in silver 1 for awhile I think I understand why they are stuck here. People just never stop raging at each other.

If there is a common thing I have noticed in silver it is over committing for a kill or raging at each other when they make a mistake. The winners of the game are the teams that rage less. I get angry and rage too but I rarely rage in game because I know it will make others play bad. The most I do is ping "question marks" when someone does something stupid but other then that, I try not to talk at all in game chat.

However just because im nice enough to not comment on other people mistakes does not mean the rest of my team wont. The more people rage, the less people like to take commands from each other and team work goes right out the window because everyone has a "superiority complex" and must tell each other how to play the game

I don't tell people who support, how to play support, and I don't tell top laners how to trade with the enemy when they die because im not the top laner or support in that game. I hate it when I see an ADC trying to tell their support how to play like they are stupid or something (or vice versa). These are just some common things I see in silver 1 that leads me to believe why they are stuck there.

I have a friend that does terrible in Leauge (he is new) but it mostly isn't his gameplay or entirely its his builds: Its him typing at key moments.

Let me just give you the universal explanation that applies not only to silver, but to every League.

Any person gets stuck in X League when his skill level is not vastly superior to the other players from that league, therefore he has less of an impact on the outcome of the game, which results in him depending solely on the high/low performance of the rest of the players. Simply put - this person hit his skill ceiling. The only way to get "unstuck" is to improve in such a fashion that you will have a significant edge over the players who are still "stuck" in that League.

No honestly I'm silver because my mechanics are mediocre and I tunnel after dumb stuff instead focusing on structures and Dragons. I belong here and I'm okay with that.

EDIT: also this guy is stealth complaining that he always gets bad teams, when the reality is if he deserved to get out of Silver, he would.

I made this thread because im going to be out of silver soon, (most likely) and I thought I would let people know not to rage because it only causes more problems

Its like that in every elo. Except maybe high master and challenger, I don't know anyone that high.
