i've spent 1 year in bronze, 1 year in silver and 1 year in plat, AMA
i felt like doing this for a while. after being bored of being stuck in plat in season 5, i decided to make a new account and leave the champselect (THE CHAMPSELECT NOT INGAME) as often as possible so i wont climb. mmr wise i can only say i didnt increase much either cause i was always matched with people in the same rank.
so i spent season 6 in bronze, season 7 in silver and season 8 in plat.
i dont think many people did that mainly for fun/interest. i dont have any deep insight on how the system works or anything but hey i thought there might be some people out who have questions to someone like me. lul.
