Well u said it yourself. Because its silver... Silver 3 is where new players start. Instead of asking why is he there, ask yourself why didnt u move from beginner level.

I've removed your second link because it violates our Boards policy against Naming and Shaming. Using images of the scores and stats is sometimes helpful to portray a point, but we ask that you keep players' names out of your screenshots and posts.

I think his match history is like that because he has not played in a year or something and started playing again recently.

It's true that there are some games that you're never going to win. Maybe there's a Diamond smurf on their team. Maybe there's someone new to the game on yours. There are also games you're never going to lose, for the same reasons.

What determines whether or not you rise is what you do in the games that are competitive. One metric for how competitive a game is, is the game length. And I'd say, for simplicity, any game that goes over 30 minutes is most likely a competitive one, because if there is such a mismatch, the game tends to end closer to 25 minutes.

Take a good long look at what you do in various situations. One thing that helped me is to focus on the macro game, of taking objectives, of making the team snowball. Nowadays, if ever I'm ahead at the 15 minute mark, I rarely ever let them back into the game. I close it out by 25 minutes.

One thing you see a lot in Silver is a team gets ahead and then decides they want to farm for another 20 minutes. Games that should be won end up getting stretched out, allowing the other team to catch up. A 10K gold lead when it's 25K:15K is far more formidable than a 10K gold lead when it's 35K:25K.
