I see what people meant by "plat" is rough...
Just to preface - I climbed solo from Bronze to Platinum as the least liked support, Jeff.
It's crazy because I feel like when I was in Gold, the games made a little more sense. People generally stayed together to an extent and the games felt like actual logical decisions were being made.
But, There's something about Platinum that I can't put any words to - maybe those who are in and above it can express my inner sentiment better than I...but, let me tell you this, I'm probably done with ranked for the rest of the season.
I know plenty of solo queue players have successfully climbed even higher, but for me...I think i may call it here, especially since there's no chrono shield that helps for a plethora of reasons.
