I see people say a version of this and wondering if you find it true.

I’ve gotten myself to plat but I’ve not been climbing above that. I wouldn’t say I consistently carry. I do, maybe 10-15% of the games, but in most of the rest, I play decent but I win if the other players on my team are decent but I’m not good enough to make up for really bad teammates.

To me that’s what carrying means. Ie my team would’ve lost without me and I became the deciding factor of them winning instead.

That’s still a rare thing for me.

So being stuck in Plat seems to confirm that I’m not climbing because I’m not carrying consistently enough, but at the same time, I don’t think I carried much to make it here. Got placed in Gold. Took a few months to make it to plat and again, I carried less than half of the games.
