By the way be fully prepared to easily climb to Silver 1 and be stuck there for a solid 30-50 games. It took me a long time (even with big win streaks) to even get a chance at my BO5.

Not even close? ELO hell doesn't exist. Bronze has a high toxicity rate, that's the discussion.


Is the statement "Bronze sucks, but if you're good enough you'll get out pretty quickly" being argued against? Because that's pretty much the argument against ELO hell.

From my experience Bronze toxicity level is much, much, much, much, much lower than Silver.
Everyone knew they were bad and had the stats to back it up. Silver players think they're god because they aren't in the lowest division.

You can totally read the discussion if you want. You don't have to ask me.

From lower than silver V to gold V in 9 days sounds excruciating for anyone but the most hardened nerd, and I don't see how it's possible for a non-smurf.


Depends WHY you're silver V. I don't think it's excruciating at all.

edit: I guess it may be 70% of the time or so...meh

No, if you have anything to do with your time besides play league, that is excruciating. The sheer time commitment is just awful.

Of course if you are legit silver V it's impossible.


? To get to Silver V means you basically are/were Silver III mmr, it's not THAT bad. I mean like if you had recently gotten Silver V and went inactive for sometime then yes it's going to be awful.

I don't follow. Why does somebody at silver V have to have spent much time at silver III? In fact kinae, who started this whole discussion, is basically bronze II or I elo. And what do you mean by "recently" getting silver V and then going inactive "for some time"? I'm having a hard time seeing what you're trying to say.

I was reading the discussion. Just saw comments about how difficult it was to get out of Bronze when your teammates are feeding.

It was more so saying you're more likely to have frustrating games, but you'll probably have more free wins too.

I've had great success in bullying her in lane with all my regular supports. I have yet to face a support Annie that has made me fear her when I play my Fiddle/Sona/Thresh/Zyra. I can't tell if it's the champ or those I face being inexperienced support Annies.

A bit late, but I've been thinking about what Pobelter will be like after he graduates from high school. He could do part time studies in an easy major/school and then the destruction o_0. Or maybe he'll continue to not have time for league because of school. Who knows.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I love pobelter, probably has the best mid stream on NA. I would say with his skill level could easily make a kespa A team. He also moved up 7 ranks on the challenger ladder on his "intero" account really the epitome of untapped potential from the NA scene.

That just means you shouldn't have been that low in the first place and the game knew it. If the ranked system matched it's intention, BI=>SI is a span of 350 elo.

Oh yeah, i know thats how the system works, I either hit a bad streak of luck, wasn't playing my best, my skill hit a brick wall right as i hit promotions. To me where before it was free win if you didn't get the feeder, right at the silver/gold mark games are decided by who drafts a better teamcomp, with AOE comps being the best at this level. Of course still some games where one guy just carries hard, but they're less common now.

I hit gold v in under 50 games, despite having pretty poopy placement matches, guess duo queue mmr increase helped a lot since I never had to deal with first division clamping.
