Plat is The Hardest Rank, Here's Why (Unranked to GM No Shooting Part 3)

In this unranked to gm challenge I'm not going to shoot a single bullet all the way to GM. I have it unbound so I can't even accidentally shoot if I try.

I was stuck in plat for wayyy too many seasons but once I got out of plat I instantly climbed up to Diamond 1 which is where I'm currently at right now. Plat is a massive hell hole and its really hard to escape BUT it is possible. Even as the rank I am today I understand that back then there were always things I could've done better or differently but at the same time the teams you get in plat are 100% a coinflip. You either get the team that rolls everyone or the team that is average and just kind of chilling and end up getting rolled.
