This is probably the worst time to play ranked, with the combo of frustrated people who can't quite reach the next tier plus tons of boosters being paid by desperate people. Even as of last month it felt like pretty much every game I played (Plat 3-4) had either obvious smurf accounts or players who were clearly boosting

Just play it for the good time. What do ranks even mean anyway?

Didn't you make it to Silver 5? That's prob as far as you're going to get right now because my KDA with Meth has been outstanding too and we're still struggling against other smurfs and other obviously bronze-boosted baddies. It's not like he's dragging my rear end through Silver 2, even with him some of these games are a headache.

I'm in silver and pretty much just play the 10 games every year to get placed
I just don't have the free time anymore to dedicate to Riot's Funtime Magical Rank Up system wherein promo games are so heavily influential and still have a solid chance of a player leaving on either side

Until you hit plat there's a forgiveness system where you get a free win if you're in a series you've been in before so this is largely a non issue unless it's only a fluke when you make it to series in the first place.

Tbh I get not wanting to play ranked tho, the first season I placed gold then didnt play anymore, the second season I placed high silver and climbed to gold and stayed there. It was only really this season that I actually took ranked seriously and got to plat but even then the games are kind of more stressful and you feel obligated to pick your best champs and play boring everytime.

My theory is that I've been punished by some sort of demon, and the only way to fight back is to enlist the help of another

There are certain champions where unless the player is at a certain level they're just gonna do badly with them, you're simply not gonna run into a decent vayne (or even adc in general tbh) in silver.

Climbing right now is a nightmare, both teams probably have elo boosters right now and it's just a toss-up between how many legitimate players you get versus people who actually belong back in bronze

I can't imagine there's a lot of people elo boosting their way through plat, just a lot of frustrated people who don't think they belong where they are.

The past few ranked games for me have been pretty nightmarish. I'm trying to figure out if I should become part of the problem or just accept G2 this season and try to climb again next season.

I know a lot of hot streamer babes that are suddenly climbing to Diamond at an alarming rate, friend. Saint Vicious will never have to sleep alone again.

Even Diamond 2 is full of Challenger smurfs that want to get like 8 jackets right now.

Well I guess I'm sitting pretty where I am then, I haven't played much ranked recently cause outside of really buckling down to improve my weaknesses I think i could at best get to plat 3 or so from grinding and at that point there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to other than placing slightly higher next season. Plat border is plat border haha.
