Riot You Failed Placement Matches
So riot did a decent job on placement matches. The complete opposite of what they were trying to do, and what they said they were doing in an update video, but they did a decent job. Now the real problem with this is that riot was trying to make placements give you a rank reflecting of your skill, and actual capability, but instead they made it so that low elo players are being ignored and high elo players are benefitting. This update makes it a lot less more easy to climb at the beginning of the season, and placement matches should be more like a way to improve your rank, in low elo mainly, and let the low elo players achieve higher ranks faster. Riot decided to make it so that you would have a tier reset, like you usually do, but have no loss of lp in placements and have huge lp boosts when you win. This was ... not so effective. The easy way to fix this, and make it so players like me cannot carry your team to a win in 7 out of 8 of their placement matches and be placed in bronze III, is just to get rid of the soft reset. This fix mainly just works in low elo, and might benefit higher elo, but at the end of the day, you should get rewarded for doing well in placement matches. In conclusion, riot made a bad decision and it will be better for all players if they just fix it, get rid of the reset/find another way, so that I don't have to go through this again.
