Placements... Dafuq

Silverhome··1 votes·614 views

So I got all excited when I noticed I could play placements again. Finally a chance to get a fresh start right? Nope. Won 7 out of 3 matches, still in bronze V. What the hell did you make me do those stressfull placements for? I'm not here to argue out my old or current elo. I am where I am. I'm lodging a formal complaint about this "reset." If nothing I can do will change my position then don't make me struggle through the damn placements. PLEASE!

You were previously Bronze 5, so the placements are going to put you at least a Tier under and well since there's nothing lower than B5 that's what you get.

You should gain a fairly good amount of LP though from wins having gone 7-3.

You are quite blind. "You should gain a fairly good amount of LP though from wins having gone 7-3."

That means that his MMR is higher than the current ranking.

Also just because websites tell you your MMR might be one thing doesn't mean it is indeed that high. He might still have Bronze 5 MMR but it might be a bit higher than average. Op.gg and other sites only have their estimates of the MMR as only Riot knows the Real MMR.

that doesn't mean anything.

"fairly good amount" does not equate to higher MMR. Its subjective and not at all helpful in any kind of discussion.

Higher MMR also could be "I am bronze 5 0LP but have the MMR of bronze 5 1LP"

I dont think you know what elo is.

his mmr increased. he's still in bronze elo. please do your research before attacking someone who's basically saying the right thing.

Elo:

Arpad Elo developed the self-named elo rating system, a system designed originally to fairly calculate the overall rankings of chess players. Elo has also seen exposure in different sports and games, branching off to areas like Football, Scrabble, or Backgammon, and video games such as Guild Wars, Starcraft 2, and League of Legends.

In a roughly abbreviated explanation, players under the elo system are placed at a specifically middle rating, say 1200 in League of Legends. With subsequent games, players can increase their score from victories or decrease their score from losses. The fine tuning of points earned when winning or losing a game are usually made separately for each type of game, as different mechanics are involved.

I think you have no idea what Elo means. Then again OCE...

Lovely how you can't give an appropriate answer when someone proved you wrong.

I think you spending your time in NA is flattery enough regarding the quality of your own region.

Then again there is the possibility you are just an alt account since you barely play the game anymore.

ELO is not a number

MMR is a number

it's a shame you've been playing this game for so long and yet you're still so wrong. Stop playing aram for a living before you come for my region.

your elo was increased because of the placements... sadly your elo was so low you are still bronze 5 0LP...
