So i just started playing the game tail end of season 5 and got to silver 5 and finished there. I would say im an average player not horrible but also not amazing haha. And recently my friend got 30 and we have been doing DuoQ and well based off of alot of toxic players and bad plays on our end(few) we have had an 7 game losing streak. Ive never been more pissed off at a game in my life tbh haha but then it shot me all the way down from s5 to b1. How and why did it shoot me down so low and how will this affect my season 6 starting point? I dont understand and im definetly not a b1 player haha nut im just frustrtaed with the game and looking for some help on how this will translate into season 6 becausem since im very lew to league this whole ranked season crap is new to me! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated on how this works!!

Thanks from the guy who rages too much ~Kyle

OK Mr.Kyle it's like this once season 6 ranked starts witch looks to be ether the 6th or 21th of January all ranks will be reset, meaning you have to do your 10 promos all over again. as to how this fits with you current rank it will be a light reset how well you do on you promos will help decised you rank. for example you say you are brozne 1 if you go 0/10 you will be bronze 4-5, 5/10 bronze 1-3 7/10 silver 5 again or bronze 1 10/10 silver 4-5

those promos seem a little too lenient to the actual way its done. Seems more like if he gets 10/10 he would still be bronze 1. ive never seen someone become a higher rank at the start of a season.

i have my friend played thought out all of season 4 presean and in up in gold at the start of season 5 when he was silver before. it depends on one's ranked mmr , i generally give a small botd more so in kyle's case as his mmr is being altered by douing withhis friend

Its a hidden number that every player has. It is what determines who you play against, and is a true skill detector. It plays a big role in ranked games, as it effects the amount of LP you gain or lose. If your mmr is lower than the standard mmr of the rank you are in you'll lose more LP than you gain.

Its a little hard to explain, but heres an example.

lets say the average mmr for gold 5 is 1200. lets also say that you are gold 5. If your mmr is higher than 1200, you will gain more LP than you lose. if your mmr is lower than 1200, you'll lose more LP than you gain.

Its a little shifty though, and riot seems to lie about it sometimes. They claim that if you were to win a game, lose a game, win a game lose a game... so you had a total win lose of 50/50, your mmr would remain the same. However, this is definitely not true, and your mmr will almost certainly be lowered if you win 50% of your games.
