>>506325749What actually happened:
>SilverI honestly just fucked around on off-role for a while. Lots of Kayle mid and ADC games, some support. Kayle mid especially tilts your team because you can't match roams. I got bored and decided to go back to one-tricking jungle.
>GoldA series of 1v9s. Regularly would drop 20+ kills per game.
>Plat 4 through Plat 2The unluckiest string of games I've ever had. Lots of games that were completely unwinnable due to people mental booming.
>Plat 1/Emerald 4Occasional unlucky games with shitters, but yes, definitely was hardstuck for those 50 games or so. I was lacking on macro concepts and decision making. I especially wasn't respecting fog of war enough. Did a coaching session at this point.
>Emerald 3Started winning games because I had identified the areas I needed to improve on, but my MMR hadn't caught up yet. This part of the grind sucked.
>Emerald 2Found a duo partner in a game where the rest of our team inted and basically skipped the entire division with me and them carrying.
>Emerald 1As far as I'm concerned this division is the final boss of League of Legends. All the toxicity is ramped up to 11, you'll frequently run into people inting on bought accounts, and everyone has an ego. Matchmaking tends to especially be fucky around here in my experience. Coaching session #2 happened right before my winstreak to d4 and helped a lot with my confidence.
>>506326576I spent a LOT of time in and out of game actively researching ways to improve. I am not innately talented at League of Legends - I placed Silver. If you want to climb, and you are willing to put in the time and effort, you WILL climb. I promise you.
