Hey i have been playing league for 4years now and i have a quick question. Not knowing how your system opperates in this situation i ask: I was placed Gold 5 when season 6 ended. But then when season 7 came around i was unfortunatly not able to play as much as i'd like. So the season is now coming to an end and i still havent started my placments for solo que. If i am not to start them at all this season, what effect will that have on my placments for season 8 or for the mmr or whatever is acounting here. I would like to thank in advance for any answer.

Placement matches are just matches that impact your mmr more than usual, but your win ratio on them doesn't inherently matter, and it's your mmr at the end of placements that determines your starting rank.

Your MMR is affected by the soft reset every season after your first regardless of how much you play, so not playing at all (or playing only a few matches) will still slowly drag your mmr down. If you play a few matches but don't complete placements, they still influence your mmr, so if you win them it's a step in the right direction to counteract the effects of the mmr soft reset (of course if you lose them then it's a step in the wrong direction).

i think youll be around gold 5 mmr for the new season. so i believe you will not be affected. it will not act like a fresh account (i believe..) ppl say there are soft resets even if you dont play ranked a whole season but i dont know if that is true. i think there is an effect on mmr based on your time since your last ranked game though, but i believe its minor.

if it is a double soft reset then a reset to silver 2 ish mmr isnt going to do much to your account unless you are playing at diamond or b5. but be warned, if you play immediately when season 8 starts you are going to get steamrolled by a bunch of high golds if not plats. even if you somehow managed to play against silvers youd likely lose if you havent played an entire season.
