I'm bronze 3 right now and silver players always come my team. I have played as an iron for a long time and I definitely say that silver players who come my team worse than irons. I guess the game wants me to carry my team many times to level up.
yeah its tough to rank up because iron all the way to gold are filled with people who arent actually their rank (smurf, boosted, too high, too low, etc.) my advice is to find a partner or a 3 stack (not a five stack because you will most likely find a smurf on the other team) or just try to solo carry every game lmao
Hey! Check out this topic, it will help you ranking up :)
