I love and hate being in Iron.

I recently dropped to iron from gold due to me doing bad in placement's, internet dropping in and out, smurfs, etc. But whatever, many people told me that if i truly don't belong in a rank i'll climb out of it.

So, I go into a gaming session with that mindset. Right after, I find the pros and cons.

Here i am dropping 20-40 bomb left and right, really poppin off and I be getting those fat triple arrows up. The problem is that i really feel bad for my opponents and every match I'm being called a cheater or smurf. I mean, i've played against diamond smurfs when i was in gold and GOD was it a horrible experience.

Yeah i could just make it fast and zoom back up the ranks, but here is the second problem. It's actually kinda hard. Ngl, i see why people can't get out of iron. Afk's are everywhere, ive had 3v5's and even a 2v5 once and sometimes its too much. I won't even touch on the toxic players and throwers. And obv the rank system is f*ked, so when i match mvp, carry with multiple afk's on my team i get slapped with double arrows down. My grind out of iron/bronze has been slower than expected even when consistently getting over 25 kills, at least 10 first bloods now i realise how hard it is for people who are actually in that rank to rank up.

*Good luck to all you irons, hope you find your way up one day. :)
