Perhaps american silver is better than european, because european silver is so loving bad you would think they are 5 years old.
I'm not joking, I've got overwatch reports now and sometimes you can see silver games playing out, which you can easily tell are silver games, and the stupidity/skill is unreal.
Probably the most memorable thing I saw was a guy wallhacking, on dust 2. He can see a T awping down mid, and misses about 5 times with the autosniper before hitting him
