How many ranked games did you play before you started to progress?

I trolled (goofed, not actual trolling) around in season 3 for like 150 games before taking it seriously near the end. About 3 weeks before season 3 ended I played like 20 games to get from silver 2 to gold and then a week or two of nonstop progression from there to hit plat 2 before ending a little more than a week before S3's close. I just found myself playing simple utility champs like tank jungle udyr, Ashe, janna, and taric to win. It wasn't about carrying it was just being a helpful part of the team.

Then for season 4 I got in gold 2 and spent another week to hit Diamond 5 and another for Diamond 4.

Nowhere @byakugan. Plat was the worst for trolls by far and diamond's still pretty bad. Even challenger's riddled with trolls.
