RIOT PLEASE CONSIDER!!! Placement Matches Next Year!
So in my opinion, the 2015 placement matches were very unfair to Bronze and Silver players. If you were in your 2nd year, you probably know what I'm talking about. It seemed like if you broke even at 5-5, you were dropped a full tier below your previous year's rank.
My friend who just started this year goes 2-8 and gets Bronze 1, then "walks" into Silver.
Meanwhile I go 5-5, but because it is my second year, I am put in Bronze 5, since 5-5 drops you a full tier, and I finished Bronze 2 last year.
No I am not saying Riot should just forget the previous year completely, but please be more fair. I mean, why work hard and go 9-1 or 7-3 and get Bronze 5?
Recently had a friend go 2-8 in his first year and get Bronze 1. He stayed there, then went 9-1 this year and got... Bronze 5. The placements should look more like this.
0-10: Wood 5 (kidding, drop full tier from prev rank) 1-9: drop 3-4 divisions 2-8: drop 1-2 divisions 3-7: your previous year's rank 4-6: +1 division or same as last year's 5-5: +2-3 divisions 6-4: +3-4 divisions 7-3: +full tier 8-2: +full tier and division 9-1: +full tier and 2-3 divisions 10-0: +full tier and 4 divisions or 2 tiers
So if I finished Bronze 3
0-10: Bronze 5 1-9: Bronze 5 2-8: Bronze 4-5 3-7: Bronze 3 4-6: Bronze 2-3 5-5: Silver 5 - Bronze 1 6-4: Silver 4-5 7-3: Silver 3 8-2: Silver 2 9-1: Silver 1 10-0: Gold 3-5
