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...

I personally think both is bad to have in a game but its much more frustrating having a Teammate that clearly has no idea how the game works than an enemy smurf who Destroys you.
