I bought the game exclusively to play with friends that play, i learned a bit about the game through them playing quick plays till 25. Now in games that have placements i prefer to solo them so that can more accurately gauge my personal standings. I finished 6/4 which bummed me out but ended up getting 2421 SR putting me right under plat.
All of my teamates sit just above bronze to mid silver. Subsequently i have dropped to about 1600 SR playing exclusivly with them.
They all say they want to get better however their investment doesnt match their results and my SR is suffering along with theirs.
I find it rare that in team games 1 person can carry the team without RNGesus on their side. Or them being SUBSTANTIALLY better.
I lack the ability to preform enough to carry my team. However i feel with the time and their knowledge learned they should be carrying me.
Its quite a confusing situation for me. So im curious how much time being played would you all expect to see on a gold account or silver account perhaps exclusively ranked.
