Since Emerald got introduced my game experience has been miserable.
I am not exaggerating when I am saying that 30% of the games are literally being run down. People selling all their items and dancing in base. Players harassing each other in chat, someone writing “have fun 4v5”. People writing “go next” after 8 minutes of game time and surrendering in totally normal games. And no, it is not the normal amount of toxicity. I have played this game for 8 years. I know how toxic people were in Silver, how much trolling there has been in low gold, but never ever have I encountered this amount of craziness, pettiness and harassment as in Emerald.
I don’t care about LP or winning or losing at this point. I just want to play this game how it is supposed to be. Emerald is everything Solo Queue toxicity has and it honestly is nothing but miserable.
I feel like dropping down a division might help me, but I don’t want to be someone who now intentionally loses his games and the MMR is just not letting me drop to Platinum. I don’t want to play in Emerald.
Here i am thinking I did good finally getting through Gold to Plat, but its just because of what you said. :(
Also explains why I still get teammates with the mental fortitude of 5 year olds like i did back in silver. Had a 8-2 adv just yesterday start inting after one death because the swain support wasnt right on top of her protecting her for one fight… we were up 29-7 at one point and then lost
