I am not a super good player by any means, I would say low silver at this point. I'm level 38 and have severe nerve damage in my left hand that i'm still trying to get used to. The issue is that all my draft lobbies are gold-emerald, and in many of these lobbies I simply feed. I don't know the champions well enough and the rotations are either fully team calculated or completely ignored (on my side).
I used to play like 8 years ago but even the most basic champions I used to play are entirely different or completely phased out. I used to love Bacchus for example, but it appears he's virtually never played these days or has been removed cause I can't even find him in the shop. Was there never an elo reset?
I figured at a certain point it would just be me, a trash player with other trash players, but I still get emerald/plat players constantly. Gold nearly every game. Am I better off playing ranked? It seems the cuttoff for draft in this game is gold and I just can't learn when i'm level 38 against 100-500's every single game. I truly don't understand how this game attracts new players.
