I'm having a somehow similar problem... My friend convinced me to play LoL at about the same time... and after playing it, I really love it and aspired since then to play competitively... My friend only play casually... A few weeks before season 3 end, I started playing ranked games and reached silver 4 before the season ended... Then season 4 came and I reached gold 3 and stopped playing LoL for a while to try out others game along with said friend... then we decided to play LoL again and this time, before season 4 ends I was still in gold 3 and my friend was in gold 1... I was happy for him of course but what I don't understand is how come he reached a higher division than me when I was more driven and more experienced than him in ranked... I've put in the effort and I have the motivation but is it really that he's more tanlented in these types of thing and I should just give up about playing competitively since being stuck gold 3 for almost 2 years now means that I cannot improve anymore...
