Bronze players already go through this . You know there used to be players in diamond that would always climb to challenger , but fall back to diamond because their not good enough for challenger , but they were much better than diamond . There was a gap in skill between diamond and challenger that now has been filled by the masters division . In bronze 5 there are players with losing streaks that had there been a lower division they wouldn ' t be bronze , think copper division or something and if copper had been the lowest then there would be players that had there been yet another division wouldn ' t even be in copper but wood . so why is qtpe against being supported by a plat 1 ? I thought it was established that teammates don ' t drag you down and that the only factor in winning is your own performance . but his challenger and playing with a plat 1 , that ' s different , when we say that the team can ' t drag you down we assume their the same elo . Which is exactly the case for bronze players , having to play with copper and wood . We can ' t see them as there is no division for it but their definitely there . If you argue that an invisible lower division than bronze don ' t exist than that means masters players don ' t exist either .
