Try not playing like a Master below Masters.
Sure, you think "well anyone can get out of their ELO", but if you're down in bronze playing like a proper platinum, you might not go anywhere. It's silly to imply that because a Master level player doesn't get stuck in bronze or silver that everyone below diamond is exactly where they ought to be. I've seen players higher than me being consistently less intelligent about their gameplay. It's about how exponentially better you are than your surrounding players, AND a bunch of little improvements very high ranking players have made that people under them haven't fine tuned (take anything below top 500 and people not far below it are probably almost just as good, just not AS good).
Bronze through platinum is especially like purgatory. Granted, if you're bronze you might need more work, even on aim, than other players. But most people are a handful of key pointers away from the next rank, especially down there....
But then you have to deal either 11 other players every game, many of whom are probably playing as badly as your worst day, and if you think you can easily climb out of that cesspool not to godhood, but JUST the rank you deserve, you have probably become obscenely good at the game compared with those people.
