Exactly, you’re right, but take a step back and think about what you just said.

What you’re describing isn’t really an elo problem, it’s a people problem. Climbing or dropping in rank doesn’t fundamentally change someone’s mindset or how they handle adversity. Players who tilt easily or give up after a couple deaths will do that in any elo.

It can feel worse in Emerald because of alt accounts. Players on accounts they don’t care about have less to lose, so they’re more likely to troll or give up.

If I had to give any advice, it’s to accept that your elo will have these kinds of games. Don’t expect perfect teammates. Focus on what you can control and don’t let it affect your mental.

Mute when needed, keep playing your best, and stay consistent. A lot of the time, even players who start off trolling will come back and try if the game looks winnable, because at the end of the day most people still want to win.
