Gold is the hardest rank to get out of. I was previously stuck in G2/G3 for 3 solid episodes, but right after I ranked up to P1, I quickly ranked up to P3 within one act and now I'm almost Diamond. Possible reasons could be, there are a lot of smurfs and boosted players in Gold where I always play well and still lose. Enemy team will have a player dropping 40 bombs and bott fragger with 0.5 KDA. But after I breakthrough to Plat, team mates seem to start carrying their own weight. I play in the Singapore server btw, Gold is truly hell elo here.

Anyone else experienced the same thing?
