So, at the start of season 7 here. I'm sure we're either excited or depressed for placements.

I want riot to explain my placement.

I'm in the lower ranks of players, bronze/silver. Last season, i climbed allllll the way from Bronze 5 0LP all the way to Silver 5 and decided to stay there until the season starts again.

Then i played my placements.

I ended up with 6 wins and 4 loses. Not too bad for placements, seems average.

My Placement: Bronze 4 0LP

So, that whole time i spent climbing, learning, and getting out of that elo hell was for nothing?

Riot. I want you to explain to me how the heck did i get Bronze 4 from 6 wins in placements, and was silver 5 before. I can understand getting Bronze 2, bronze 1 for those 4 loses. But bronze 4? Cmon, that's a whole division rank demoted. This doesn't seem fair.

Riot explained this already. It's a reset. Look up what that means.

They are probably judging you more than just your games. Champion masteries, games played overall and based on overall player rank, compared to others currently, that's you rank.

If you truly believe you are worthy of Silver, it shouldn't take long, It's a new season, you have plenty of time to climb.

Everyone was pushed down, silver players to bronze, gold players to silver 5, plat players to silver 1-3, and diamonds to gold.
