How can 6-4 in promos end up Bronze 5??? WTF?

What division were you in before. If you were bronze before then i have some news, I was silver 4 and got placed in bronze 3 for going 6-4, this is pretty ridiculous..... wtf riot, you said we were probably going to be placed "slightly lower" then where we were in season 4. NOT FKING AN ENTIRE GODDANG LEAGUE AWAY FOR WINNING A MAJORITY OF THE GAMES!?!?!?!? its going to take me around 30 games to get out of bronze (15lp per win and accounting for losses) so this is wasting so much of my time, and just to clarify if i went 7-3 i would get placed in bronze 2, and if i won 8-2 i would get placed in bronze 1 to silver 5?

MMR matters. If you MMR is bad, you can wind up in Bronze even if you went 10-0. You MMR wasn't the greatest and you only won 60% of your games. I went 6-4 and wound up in Silver II last season. Placement matches barely matter. MMR, on the other hand, is really important.

Yea riot, thanks for screwing me over. I'm done with you, went 6-4 and carried hard every game I won, and now I am Bronze 5. Get your shit together.

There's like 3 people in here who have their heads on right. Are you really complaining about placement? If you were Silver last season then the climb shouldn't be too hard. After all that just means your better then the average Bronze player. Like you all have a year to climb so ball up, quit *****ing and wipe your noses.

What was your rank / mmr before the reset ?

I did that last season, and climbed to Gold 5... so if you really belong somewhere else it will still give you more points when you win.

Just to be clear, everyone knows we can see match history right?

8-2 bronze V I don't think last season should even count if you were bronze or silver. Would have placed better if i have never play rank.

It's not a full reset and winning vs other Bronze players won't move you up much until you do so reliably.

I just duckin won 8 out of my promos and riot decides to place me not bronze 1, not in bronze 3, but they duckin put me in BRONZE 5 for going 8-2???????

6won 4loss = bronze v ... wonderful ... wtf is this bullshit and 2 losses were with afk (one with 2 afk and one with 1 afk ... why such games count????)

Same, won 6 game as support and I will start at at bronze IV? why so If I would won all it would be lvl [zombie-brand-facepalm] 3

okay guys i understand that winning 5-5 i get put in b5 i dont care i was b3 and in s4 i was s5 i am not good but i played a lot i won 9 ranks in spree and it gives 15 lp every time to me i went in placement and i lose. oke i lose and mlosing that placement i go 59 lp WT HELL if u lose a plc u go 75 lp NO FKIN 50 i cant understand what the shit is doing riot. then u cant say they go diamond or gold because the fight vs diamond and do 5-5 because i found a lot of gold in my team and in the enemy team a lot of times i was doing better then them then i check a gold account he did 4-6 and he goes in s3 ty RIOT u are helping. I think a lot of people will stop play LoL for this.

This was an old account that was B4. I play on another account that's silver last season. How can you win 6 games and get rewarded the same for winning 0? This is so not right. They said the season was supposed to be a reset, which means everyone who wins 6 games should be on the same level.

I went 8-2 as bronze 5, and ended up bronze 5, 0 points. my MMR actually went down 9 points. Makes no sense.

If I remeber correctly your first games cost 50 a pop every time you lose then 25 a piece. You also start with lower mmr than you ended last season if you were over 1000 elo.

I went 4-6 even when adc carrying but you know afks and trolls are op in ranked and not normals. Silver 2 last season: 6-4 to Bronze 3 this season: 4-6

Not even worth trying to get to gold...

hey i got 8 wins BRONZE 4. well just gotta climb outa here i guess. Was silver last season

My friend won 6/4 and got bronze 5.. and i was in promos won 6 lost 2 and i said fuck it midgame and quit. Riot wont award us for doing better. Then im going back to other games. ;/

Same just happened to me, I dropped 275 LKS after my promos. was 6 and 2, played two games today and then ended up bronze 5. I was silver 5. So that is a thing... I am done playing League. Fuck it. I just went and bought Heroes of the storm. They can suck a on a fat bowl of dicks. ALSO THEY HATE SUPPORT PLAYERS. I BET MOST OF US GETTING KICKED IN THE SHIT ARE SUPPORT PLAYERS. there isn't a good way to gauge how well of a support you are right now.

I went 7-3 in placement matches and legitimately carried each game we won. Reward I received was Bronze 2. WTF!!

How is winning 7 of 10 games bronze league?

That should at least be silver if gold is 10/10

DUDE i just google to get anyone have same of my problem and i see aloooooot going on

same issue bro 6-4 and when i saw bronze 5 after my last game i was WTF -.- ksaijdosakijdoasldhjosikajhasp;lkdj;sadjh;sajdhn

RIOT PLZ XD ,, if gold is 10/10 then plat 11/10 ? or how the fuck it suppose to be

bronze forever my friend

I wanted to be placed in bronze 5 so I tried 1-9 but got into bronze 2... Again 1-9

Yeah, your W/L doesn't matter that much. Out of my placement matches, I won 2, and lost 8. 2 of the losses were from intentional feeders, but losses nonetheless. and even though I did absolutely terrible in my matches, I got Bronze 1. I've heard a lot of stories about people winning all of their placement matches, but getting bronze 5, but I really want to know; does it depend on my classic games? or is it just about mmr. and if so, how can I raise my mmr?

6/4 bronze 5 lol! Another player in same league won 10/10 and bronze 5 lol how -.-

i wan 6 lost 4 to n i got placed in bronze 5 i dont understand how i got bronze 2 last season n only won 4

because people have gotten 10 / 0 and gotten bronze 4

lmao I went 2-8 and got placed in bronze 1 but tilting away got me to bronze 5 :/

I went 6-4 and ended up Silver 2.

Depends on your MMR last season.

The games you get placed in for placements are somewhat based on your old MMR. If you had Silver 3 MMR, won your 6 games against people with Bronze 1 MMR and lost 4 against Bronze 5 MMR, you'll get placed low as fuck.

Also doesn't help that everyone gets placed below Plat 1 in placements, meaning that since no one is in Diamond+ early on, people who might normally be placed into Silver 5 would end up in Bronze 2-3 due to extra high elo players filling up the upper tiers of Silver and Gold until they start climbing.

Redmercy got 5-5, ended up Plat 1 Gj riot, u fcked the game again, i guess dota 2 is the best choice or smite[zombie-brand-facepalm]*

Same with me ......

I mean how is this possible ??? same as last year 6-4 and bronze 5 wtf ?! and before 2 years i ranked in silver 5 and went then to bronze 1 i mean i was bronze one and then i was bronze 5 and now again brinze 5 wtf ?!?!

THIS IS WHY MANY PLAYERS START HATING THE GAME ! RITO FIX THATS SHIT !

Can Rito finally do something? I just read the comments and the problem started last year and this year its even worse ....... Rito pls

Bronzodia has claimed you.

Depends on where you started last season -- if you played last season. Pro players and streamers explained that many of them started high level diamond to platinum even though most were master or challenger end of last season and did well in placement games. You should expect to be 2 tiers lower. Ex: a diamond might get placed mid tier silver, a gold might be placed bronze -- even if they did well in placement games. Besides, if you deserve to be higher than bronze 5, it should be plenty of free wins there -- easiest rank to exploit opponents. It's at the rank 2 and rank 1 of tiers (gold 2, diamond 1, bronze 1, etc.) where it is hardest to make the jump. People downvote you probably because literally everyone else experienced the same thing.
