I've found that Gold is where hope goes to die. You could perform the best you can, you can give it your all, play your job as well as you can, contest the crystal and it will still not matter because your team doesn't understand that kills don't mean shit if you don't play the objectives.

For real. This entire week I've been trying to climb up from Gold 4, managed to reach Gold 3 (right before Gold 2) before I got into a losing spree which brought me back to the bottom from which I haven't been able to climb up from. 1 win 1 loss 1 win 1 loss 2 wins 1 loss 3 wins 3 losses 1 win, etc. It's legit soul-crushing. It's giving elo hell from LoL.

Savor your victories in Silver, and pray that your luck is good enough in Gold to grant you consecutive competent teams for a win streak, because Gold is legit the graveyard of common sense for this game mode.
