There is still great benefit(s) to be had being a silver (it definitely beats not being a silver).

All this being said, UA does not love silvers (not as willing to shower them with benefits) as much as they used to, especially relative to golds, platinums, and 1K's.

I'm not sure if the "love" Silvers - they tolerate them, and they clearly don't want any more of them

Now if we want to talk about "not liking" any elite level, 1K surely rises to the top.
