Started second quarter of season 2, got level 30 like 2 months after that, but didn't play ranked until mid season 3, around a year ago. Started in bronze 3, got to silver 1 3 months later but I didn't play much ranked. They announced the end of season prizes with victorious elise being one of them, and since elise was my main, I had to climb to gold. One month was left till the end of season but I managed to get to gold, got the prize and didn't use it cause death blossom elise for life.
Right before the season ended I spammed ranked, skipped gold 4 and 2 and got to plat 5, but season 4 started and I had to play placements again. Got placed back in gold 5, started climbing and now I am in plat 5. And oh god is it the worst league ever.
