Question Regarding Preseason Progress

This Is Your Dad··1 votes·659 views

Recently I have decided to improve my ability to handle flamers and trashtalkers in this game (me being one of them on occasion) (still working on that :P). Using only a few champions instead of playing every single one has also improved my net performance. Now I've been stuck in bronze 3-5 for quite some time, but after implementing these changes to the way I play I've found myself in Silver 4 with 58 lp. HOWEVER, I got from Bronze 3 to Silver 4 during PRESEASON, so I was curious as to whether I will be put back into Bronze 3 due to me ending the season there. This is not a QQ thread; I will accept that I have to climb out again if necessary. I just don't want to get my hopes up. Silver is not much better than bronze in the flame category, but I do feel a sense of elation at having risen above bronze status. I know I suck at the game, having played over 1000 ranked matches before realizing how to actually rank up, but this game has actually taught me, slowly, to be a better person and a better teammate. I still have my tilts of course. With that being said I hope to get an answer as to how likely it is that I will be placed back in bronze IF I do well in placement matches. I mostly wanted to rank up because I was tired of 0/14 jaxs telling me how worthless I was being bronze when I was doing well at the game and was not trashtalking anyone. That's the unfortunate truth to this. I feel my self-worth diminish playing normals games and being told I'm no good and to uninstall. Yes I need tough skin, but I really want to learn to enjoy the game without doubting my accomplishments. I know I rambled but thanks for reading.

playing in preseason affects your mmr which is what is used to get your starting mmr for the ranked provisional matches.

In english: your silver 4 rank WILL "carry over" to the next season with the weight of your provisional matches factored in.

Thanks a lot! I was worried about preseason mostly because I heard that it's easy mode because no one takes it seriously, thus making it easier to break the threshold. I thought maybe riot would feel the same, and I feel guilty at having made it to silver during "easy mode".

im going to be 100% honest with you here, bronze and silver do not mean anything. gold is just silver with a better attitude and a slight mechanical advantage. plat is the same with gold. high plat/diamond is where the mechanical skill is significantly different from the lower tier.

grats on making silver tho! imo, in preseason, with all the bs (league of guinsoos, league of thunderlords, mundoverse, etc.) it's actually p impressive to have climbed an entire tier.

I know it doesn't mean anything yet, but I'm still climbing. I haven't stopped yet. I play hecarim tryndamere and nami mostly with some nasus and vlad(bad with those two). I don't use mundo or guinsoos (anymore at least). I know trynd is a "noob" champ with little skill requirement, but he got me out of bronze. I am aiming for gold next! Plus I want a sparkly border.

trynd isnt exactly a noob champ... hes just nearly impossible to 1v1 post-6. it's a matter of outplaying him, which is done by adding another body to the mix, making it a 2v1 or 2v2 or more.

by "doesnt mean anything" i meant skill-wise. the skill level between bronze and silver, silver and gold, etc. are minuscule.

I do find less trolls in silver though. I don't miss having a 0/25 katarina yasuo bot lane.

Experience doesn't mean anything

Watch streamer and try to get a feel on how they play

Main a champion is how you can climb
