Flex Promotion BUG ?

IPinPC·11/15/2016, 1:52:43 PM·5 votes·1,209 views

There is a short story. I started Flex a week ago and qualified Silver5 with 7w/3L. Then I climbed to Silver 4. All seemed fine. Today however there was a re-qualifer and I won that game. And guess what, I got Bronze 4 ? How come that after winning promotion game I got demoted to Bronze 4 from a Silver 4 even though I was climbing up in my Silver league ? Now I can't even play together with my friends. If RIOT read this, please can you look into this and fix it, can I get at least SIlver 4 where I was before "winning demotion" by 5 divisions? Is this sort of Bug or the system is out of whack ?

It definitely upsets. Not sure if I should wait for fix or try to climb again until next demotion ? my acc on EUNE is sc2salt

I was placed in silver V, had 100 points and a win so the game i just played and won should have placed me in silver IV but i got a new rank and it is silver V. Very smart!

I would also like to share my story, so you can get as much feedback as possible. So, last season i was in platinum the whole time and i finished in platinum 4. Now since the preseason started i went on to play the new ranked flex, to see where i would get placed. I won 8/2 games with support Zyra and performed with an A or S grade every game. After this 10 games i got placed in Platinum 1. It seemed a bit high, but i felt like maybe my good performance in those 10 enabled me to get placed so high.

HOWEVER... After this so called "fix" that was enrolled to fix some issues players have had with this placements, I played another game with Zyra support. Also i played fairly well and we even won the game. I then got placed into SILVER 2 !?!?!?

I mean Gold 2 or 1 could be possible, but definitely not Silver since I played the whole of last season in platinum 4 to 2....

So my opinion is that this new fix did not work as planned :D

I write here because, i got Silver III in Flex promotion... But after that there came a message that Riot fixes ranked queues so everyone who had a rank lose them and have to play 1 match to get a new rank. So i played 1 match, lost it and i got Bronze IV is this a bug? If it is could Riot Restore my Silver back? I dont Like Promoting myself for 6 divisions after i get back to my original rank. This is very annoying, hoping that i can get my silver back. I see other people have this problem too.

I placed B2 in placements games. I played a Flexrank (disabled) game s all week and no LP shows up, i assume because of disabled status. Today I play a Flexrank (disabled) game and lose and drop to B4. Is flex rank disabled or not?

I was in silver 2 then I lost a game and got placed in bronze 1. I don't know what is going on, but it seems kinda messed up.

why do I go from s3 before the bug and play one game to go to bronze 2 after the bug, do I start climbing now or is this a bug?

No, its not BUG.

Riot last 2 season about climbing is completly fucked in the head. Last season i got sorted in Bronze IV from Silver II after 9/1 In flex Queue i got 6/4 - Bronze IV. On my smurf 10/0 - Bronze V(Eune)

Riot doesnt give a shit about this. They are like "you wanna see improve, but they give u back in the same division u got from last season, fuck that!
