My experience as my first season in league.

I started playing almost a year ago, during s5 worlds. A friend showed me the game and I got right into it.

Fast forward to now, still first season coming to an end, and in s2 with a solid win rate. There are some things i began to notice from the transition from bronze to silver. Bronze players have literally no idea what they are doing, how to farm, how to freeze, just about anything in the game they cant possibly do it normally or even realize how to do it.

Eventually, getting into silver took about 4 months after constant games of garbage players and team comps, I get to Silver 5. Quickly in silver 5, I realize how much heaven this is as I can do so much and not deal with troll picks like ad fizz jungle (which actually happened). In silver, i carried my way up very fast which got me to my current rank, silver 2. In this rank I've experienced more cancer and frustration than any other tier in the game. (WHICH INSPIRED ME TO WRITE THIS...) Already, I've been playing with low elo gold 5's, and Jesus Christ can these people be even more dumb. I've had an Ashe adc who REFUSED to build Infinity Edge, because apparently "ashes passive doesn't work with crit"... This one hurt the most because I've genuinely played ADC through this season. I also got a Graves who refused to build MR against a Fizz, Velkoz, and Morg full ap trio... it hurts man.. If anyone else is experiencing the pain and suffering i'm going through, I feel you man. Best of luck in soloq!

dont ever blame/criticize your team because you are just as bad or worse.

You are victim of the "unranked scum" that appear in between S2-G5, They try ranked for the first time and have no clue what to do, they prob will end up in bronze but they ruin your games already.

I start essence reaver with ashe. The volley spam is too fun and such a pain to deal with. Though I do still get IE if the game goes long enough. But ya dude it's just luck. Your experience is uncommon. Usually people deal with idiots and flamers in every tier.

I just got into s2 last week and am almost s1 now (98LP in s2). So far it's better than s5-s3. It's just chance. No reflection on reality or some kind of set pattern.
