Where is this SALT COMING FROM?!?!

Its very simple. For some reason the salt levels of my recent games has been incredibly high. I don't know what the deal is, but the reason for it is even weirder. The main topic of flaming that has been directed at me particularly, has been my rank. I'm currently B5 0 LP. I just didn't want to play ranked after my placement games. But every game I have played, I have had people commenting at me about this. Apparently taking the time to look up my stats, and then proceeding to insult me profusely just because of my rank. Things like "You know your the worst player NA right? B5 0 lp?" "You are absolutely terrible! Your just a B5 loser" "Your just a B5 NA, you obviously don't care" "You play on an NA server, and your B5, that proves you have no skill". Here is the kicker, during the time of most of these comments, my score wasn't even bad!! During the first comment, I was 1/0/1 with Xin Zhao. And in another one I was 12/8/2, and the second best score on my team was like 7/7/3 or something like that (I wasn't playing great in that game but I was doing alot better than most of teammates). So yeah, why all the salt? What is the deal man? Just because I don't wanna play ranked? Its incredibly difficult to enjoy a game when teammates are mad at me and I haven't really even done anything wrong, and are just throwing insults at me. I really really don't like to go on rants about cyberbullying and stuff, because its kind of dumb to me, but I'm starting to get really agitated because its making my games terrible and extremely NOT fun!

mute ppl report and move on. i feel you man.

the only answer i can think of is that since you play with ppl who are the same mmr as you (so i bet most of your mates are b5 or b4) they bash on you to feel better because they themselfes suck and cant get out of bronze

Actually I've encountered alot of silvers, a couple gold. I think ONE time recently I had a diamond jhin if I'm not mistaken. And yeah I know to just mute and move on, its just that all this BS is really taking the fun out of the game.

what rank did you land after your promos? the mmr doesnt drop if you dont play (see froggen he had an account that was bronze 5 everytime had moved into promos he dodged champ select. thus losing his promo but not losing mmr. so he was matched against challengers with a bronze 5 account)

ehh.. their previous season rank doesn't matter.

i have a friend finished silver 1 last season, placement put her in silver 5, but her gameplay and mechanical skills are wayyyyyyy lower than mine.

the difference? she has a BF in plat and they duo all the time.

Different sources but generally from the sea.

People aren't here to play the game. They're here to find pleasure, some find harassing others absolutely delightful. Their stated reasons are nothing more than excuses they're using to justify their harassments.

from being bronze5. and thats a serious comment. once you are in like bronze 4, you don't get those anymore.

B5 are filled with people who think they don't belong there and would berate anyone lower than them, but fail to improve themselves.
