I'm devastated, I'm thinking of giving up

Hello everyone, I don't understand, I don't understand why the developers think that the mid season rank corresponds to our real rank, luckily they removed this mid season rank drop Let me explain, I spent 2 weeks with a motivated team, watching videos, our replays, learning the compositions and combos by heart, playing custom games, training like crazy to succeed in almost all platinum. And there it is, we are there, we are platinum And for 2 days? Well we are gold/silver, loose on loose on loose, I looked at everything, I don't blame the game or the other players, I know that we are far from perfect and that we could have made a lot of mistakes during our games. One of the problems? I believe that this is the only and biggest problem of the game; the smurfs. For the past few days, I have only met level 12/15 players and a few high max players, all platinum, we even had the right before the start of the game to say "I'm sorry, I have no choice" So they are well aware that they are ruining the game? That in each game rather than paying attention to the composition and our game we first look to see if the team opposite is made up of smurfs? And do you find smurfs funny? To return to a low level to go and beat up people who are trying so hard? What is the goal? I can't take it anymore, it's tiring, I'm isolated at home like many players I think, it's been so long since I've felt this shared enthusiasm for a game, that I haven't met so many great people who only want to surpass themselves

But ultimately for what? Coming across secondary accounts from GM or Celestial who are there to bring up their friends? Or for them to have fun?

But what about us? And all those who strive day after day to climb even a little? I'm really deeply sad, I've finished every gaming session in tears for several days. Smurfs are not considered cheating and it will certainly stay that way and unfortunately, the defeats keep coming, people break up, get angry and become irrational, including me,

And there we are, here we are all at square one, with the impression of never moving forward. And then, it's a "revenge" game system where you come across the same players opposite... But what's the idea? What idea when you already know in advance in each game that these low levels in front of you will just ruin the whole game? The whole team?

And my team goes to bed, some just depressed, some angry, some sad And these people, these smurfs, will go to bed with a feeling of satisfaction due to their victories.

So, in reality, when the strongest hit the weakest voluntarily, for convenience, we do not accept But in video games? This isn't even considered cheating? Video games, including this one, are the escape for thousands of people, so why? I don't understand I'm so sad, I don't know what to do anymore
