Do Placements look at your KDA as well as your W/L?

Just a question. I was curious if Placement matches consider more than your previous rank and if you won the game. More such as KDA or anything fancy like that.

Right now I'm 5-1 in Placements and 4-0 with Wukong in those Placements with an average KDA of 10.7K - 0.7D - 3.7A.

Thank you for any information. :)

KDA does not matter. Reasons? You're playing Sona. Your KDA isn't supposed to be 10-0-3. How do you measure what is a good KDA and what is not? This would cause people to play for themselves, rather than a team. People would deliberately take kills, you would see people play selfishly. Also, if we take into consideration KDA, shouldn't we take consideration of towers/objectives/dragons? How would we measure who did what and how much? Damage dealt to champions? Damage dealt to dragon/towers total? This would mean tanks and supports are not ideal. They get lower LP per win? Or is it that when you play a tanky champion damage taken is how it's measured or support heals given or whatever. What if you play something in rank out of meta? Such as.. Xerath support? You're supposed to do damage to get LP right? What if you're just supporting. Etc. etc. Way too many variables to put into a ranking system.

Here's how the ranking system works: If the enemy is favored, and you win, you receive more LP. If the enemy isn't, and you win, you receive less LP. If the enemy is equal, you get normal LP gain. Losses are losses. You lose around the same everytime, it depends on how many games you have played in the league. For example; high amount of games = lower LP loss since you're designated in this area. Lower amount of games = equal to your LP gain per win. My friend has 1k rank games when he loses he loses ~ 8-10 LP. I have ~ 200 rank games. I lose ~ 15-18 per loss.

This system is the same as the starcraft II ranking system, without the bonus pool.

kda isn't taken into consideration, sorry. it does however take into account your mmr from last season if you were ranked.

KDA has zero influence on any ranked games
