I've been aiming at platinum. And i was hell damn close, i needed 2 points for G2 > G1 promotion. I'd propably get it. I've played duo with my buddy, but my connection crashed at the beggining of the match. My team still won the game, but i did not received a single point. And that's how it should look like.

I thought - well, it's just a single game without points.

But it was essential. If i could play and win it, i'd propably get to promotion and grab platinum without further problems. But i didn't. Instead, i faced a huge lose streak ( G2 98 lp > G3 10 lp and i was losing ~14 lp per game). Now, i can't say anything else than huge waste of time. I did not learned anything - in almost every game of this lose streak i performed well or even attempted to carry, and when it failed no one could give me a constructive feedback. I earned nothing except free hours of madness.

I knew i shouldn't keep trying hard at some point.
