Im not that gokd, but I study the game and try hard.

I normally play normals because I do not typically have the time I feel I would need to dedicate to ranked. And, I do alright...typically over a 50% win ratio.

I placed last season in Bronze 1 and did not play enough to get out if it.

I had some extra time last week...so I figured I'd try again this season.

I got stomped and flamed solo hard in my first 2 placements, that I'm not sure I will ever play ranked again. It tilted and upset me so much I be barely even been able to bring myself to play since.

You will place Bronze 5.

Your first season of rank, you are normally placed higher than your provisionals deserve. Often around Silver even at like 3-7. Your next season of rank, you will basically always be placed 3-5 ranks lower than your ending last rank. You ended Bronze 1, you will be Bronze 5 almost regardless of provisionals.

First time in rank supposedly factors in your normal games. But most people get Silver.

What happened to you is terrible.

It's not your fault that people suck at being teammates, but you can't do anything about it.

I would suggest /mute all. Then at least you won't have to deal with flame.

Thanks for the kind words. I think I put to much pressure on myself in ranked, it makes me play timid and I don't perform as well. I seriously finished the last ten minutes just trying not to die with tears rolling down my face because I didn't want to just AFK.

That pressure is definitely a problem. When you play ranked you want it to feel just like when you play normals, at least in terms of stress. You sound like you could use a duo partner to be your rock and keep you centered. I'd offer to help but I do not play consistently, usually just in bursts. Feel free to add me though, If we are free at the same time and you want to play I'd be happy to!
