After almost a year in gold/very low plat, close to 600 hours played, thousands of smurfs and throwers, and more bans than I can count (I'm kinda toxic lol), I hit diamond today. Elo hell is definitely a thing since getting teammates that at the very least communicate is a huge gamble in solo queue gold. Anyway I know probably no one cares and that's fine I just wanted to tell somebody :)
