I was in silver for a few acts and would get melted one game then curb stomp the next, this most recent act I have finally gotten out of silver into gold and let me tell you these gold games are so much easier than the silver games. I saw today that riot said that the silver rank is too populated and I agree, there was no consistent skill level in that rank. You playing these freak of nature one game and then the next game you were playing noobs. The skill level in gold in my experience is so much more consistent and I feel like I'm going to rank up out of gold way faster than it took to get out of silver.
