The real reason Climbing out of Silver and Bronze is So Had.

So After finally getting my goal last year of Gold. I've Figured why not try it again this year as well and i can honestly admit with opened Eyes i can understand why climbing out of Silver and bronze feels like hell and is so difficult to do so.

Now if you're going to claim its easy and i'm a scrub and blah blah blah, just please leave cause we all know you posted that with out reading. [sg-ahri-3] To my point how ever, the Real reason why its so hard to get out of bronze and silver isn't because of Feeders or Bad players or Trolls. [sg-lux-2]

The True reason why its so hard is Mental Attitude of the players in this Elo, and how Toxic They can suddenly become towards each other for the dumbest or not so dumb things. [sg-soraka]

To the point. After 200 games climbing up to silver 2 this season and dropping to Bronze 1, Most of my losses, isn't because of bad plays or me sucking. No Most my losses are because of Horribly toxic behavior by my team that literally strips any form of want to win or fun out of this game.

WE all know what i'm talking about. We're talking about that player who suddenly Starts telling their team they suck, raging at some one to a point they start typing out profanity, hate speeching and then they just start feeding, and sabotaging your game because they are upset. [sg-shisa]

I agree at some points when you have players like this you can turn it around and shut them up, But in most of my games, its really not that easy. Some examples i've had was a game i played where i had a First timer Pyke player. yea we've all been there and you know i didn't mind it cause we could turn it around and win . but at the 7 min mark my Zyra, forces Lucian to go mid, then starts calling Pyke out, by 10 min he's already calling Pyke a fa@#$t and so on. Now its starting to spread to the rest of the team.. lucian is dying cause he just got shoved mid, Pyke is just arguing back and feeding. Zyra has given up and saying we deserve to lose and shen and i just kinda have no more interest in playing . by 15 min you just want out of this, you lose all interest in winning the Enemy team is even jumping in on this and you're literally stuck in a super toxic cesspool for another 15 more minutes before you can get out.

And whats sad, is This is starting to happen more often then as time passes. What makes it worse is usually when you look up the players account for who's being super toxic you see that have double digit mastery points which indicates, this is just a alt account so you know they either did this to a point they got banned or its just a account they can give 2 poops for.

With this example you can see that.

The biggest cause of Losses in this elo range is mostly due to some one just being super toxic and literally stripping all want to even play or win this game.. out of the game itself.

A first time player can be worked with, a Feeder can be countered. a bad player can improved. but some one being super toxic can't ever be come, cause yea you can mute the player but that doesn't mute him for every one else. you gotta worry about your other players starting to argue, get affected and lose their want to play, it also doesn't help when the enemy jumps in and makes things horribly worse.

Which brings me to my conclusion

Truly this game has become more and more toxic and unfortunately it makes games in bronze and silver harder and hard to climb in. I hope that people would read this and agree with whats happening and try to not be as toxic to other players, cause it gets kinda sad that i've had to start limiting my self to playing this game for 1 or 2 matches a day not because of time restraints or Real life no.

i Limit myself because that's about as many games i can play dealing with horribly toxic people before i just give up and lose all interest in playing for the night. [sg-lux-2]

The real reason is that the vast majority of people trying to climb out of bronze and silver belong in bronze and silver.

Every elo is toxic and every elo has feeders, the sooner you realize this and know that things never really change other than players simply being better while feeding the more you'll realize you belong in the ELO you are in if you can't climb.

If you can't get out, you don't deserve to get out. Honestly. Not being mean, just simply true. Bronze and silver is ment for basically half the player base and most people belong there.

Want out? Learn to farm perfectly and build orders. Your team can be feeding machines and you can still carry most games simply from massive gold leads from farming because bronze/silver/gold don't know how to farm for beans.

Instead of insta-muting, what I've started doing as soon as a teammate starts being toxic, is I'll say in chat "Don't be that guy."

It's got about a 40% success rate in stopping the bullshit. Most of those games where that person just stops being an asshole, have been wins. My win rate has improved by 12% since I started doing that (and still getting better).

I don't know if it's just me literally getting better as time goes on, or if stopping the toxic shit 40% of the time is a key factor, but it sure feels like it is.

Its definitely the feeders. Theres nothing I can do if someone is 0-8 in lane. Nothing.

no, its definitely the shit-tier players in bronze. silver isn't as bad, but its as bad. It's as bad in it's own way. In a way that's like, YOU SHOULD BE GETTING BETTER, but you're still with kids who only know how to land their abilities. they dont know any strategy or what to do. Bronze is just shit tier kids who LITERALLY (i legit have 50/50 of my games with players ON MY TEAM like this:) play 100% ARAMS like 100s of arams, then the one game you're in with them they're playing RANKED. LOL. no joke these kids play like bots i can't believe it.

If riot wanted to fix this( LMFAO funny right) they could rank people at higher ranks, because if you cant sustain in say plat or diamonds, 20-50 games you're down to where you belong, silver and what not. BUT, if you're bronze or low silver, you're 100% going to have to play 500 games to even get to gold. it's a fat joke honestly. Riot is a 20bill$ company, and they havent even attempted to make a new game, they're just one hit wonders who dont deserve to manage a game like this. simply put. and nobody bats an eye because 99% (aside from bethesda(barely)) of game companys are all like this, fucking geniuses in their own right...what i'd pay to be rich man.

I agree with you 100%. Most players that are super toxic expect their smurf games to go 15min at that's that. So at the slightest set back they just give up, which makes the rest of the team give up. I'm all for playing out the game because there is always a chance to win. The real bronze/silver players are the better players. They are the ones willing to continue learning and continue improving. Or they are the ones willing to help others learn. If riot can start making things happen with banned players going on smurfs, then this game can go back to being as enjoyable as it was years ago.

I agree with your points but doesnt the negativity happen on both sides of the team? Your skills still are needed to win.

This and people don't know how to get carried and doing what their tilted face thinks is correct.
