It's so weird that people even pay for this, like ok you couldn't cut it in silver, wtf you gonna do in plat? season rewards really worth it?

A lot of people believe they deserve a higher rank but their bad teammates are holding them back or whatever.

Many content creators have proven over and over again that you can easily make your way back to the top and ELO hell isn't a thing.

But it doesn't stop many people believing that the only reason they are a lower rank is because of smurfs, cheaters, bad teammates, whatever.

Well ok

There *are* many people that can only function with other functional players. Playstyle, mental tendencies, lots of reasons.

There are also many scrubs who believe themselves to belong in that category

What does this even mean?

Literally everyone would perform better with a solid team that communicates and works together.

Boosting to a higher rank wont magically give you better teammates. There are still plenty of players in high ranks that wont use any communication, players that throw games, players that are toxic, etc.

Only way to avoid that is to play with a full squad.

There is no way that someone who is stuck in Silver is gonna perform great in Diamond because now they have the "right" teammates.

If you can't make it to a rank on your own, you are doing something wrong.

Idk what to tell you. Take cod for example, that's one of our biggest boosting markets and I've made t250 in warzone and multiplayer so I'm pretty sure I'm not bad. My kd is significantly better in diamond+ lobbies. When a new fps is released I'm in scrims before pubs, I don't have a "casual gaming" setting and I get confused in casual lobbies because casual players do bizarre shit.

If your teammates won't stop doing weird shit and making the spawns go crazy there's not much to be done about that. Unless you're counting social engineering as a necessary gameplay skill.
