Every game I play theres atleast 2 silver 3 players (assuming hardstuck like me) that are clearly not silver level players duking it out to see who can carry the game harder. God forbid you toss in an actual silver level player and theyre deemed useless for the entire game. I can't even blame them because the current matchmaking system CREATES smurfs. Theyre not intending to smurf, the dog shit ranked system this season is holding a (normally plat level player) hostage in silver in which they have to literally drop 30+ kills or they lose. I made the god awful mistake of playing placement matches on my main before the latest ranked update. My mmr on my main is tanked and im stuck in silver 3. My alt account meanwhile played all placement games post patch and is easily gold 3 with plat 2 mmr. I just think its a little bullshit how the game makes it impossible for players to get to their actual rank. (was plat 2 for 2 seasons, gold 3 last season as i didnt play over 20 games). Mb riot, guess im just a silver player in disguise

edit: seeing a lot of comments that completely miss my point entirely. if you got this far maybe go back to the top and reread yeah?
