The only weird thing I find is that now I am in Silver, my matches are so much easier.
Honestly, it's ridiculous. I used to have some close matches in Bronze, but so far in Silver I have been rofl stomping everything. I don't understand o_O
This is normal though. In bronze, people are just trying to make stuff. In silver, generally they are trying to get comfortable with following build orders and things unnatural to them, and so because they don't execute these properly it will often seem easier.
I had this period of time where I was getting better, but actually had worse results on the ladder. Basically, I trained myself early to overcome getting supply blocked by making way too many of supply depots early, to the point where I'd be at 34/91 supply or something ridiculous. Of course, it didn't matter as I was still able to execute something that resembled a 1/1/1 well enough to kill my opponents. When I went back to fix it up, it took a lot of losses before I was able to correct my play
So there'll be ups and downs right through your playing career, it doesn't mean smurfs are to blame.
