6-4 season 6 start... from Silver 5 to Bronze 4?

Yeah... I have like 3500 games played, have had this account forever. Over 100 champs.. over 40 or 50 skins. Last season Silver 5. Go 6 and 4 this season start and am Bronze 4? That makes no sense at all.

It doesn't. I mean, flame me, tell me how bad I play etc. I don't have a great computer, I very very rarely play ranked games. I just do not understand.

Rito fix it.

(Previous season's mmr + 1000)/2 is where you start when you start the new season placement matches. You are going to start at a lower tier and division. But Riot thinks that if you are truly where you are meant to be, you will climb.

i.e. a plat 5 player goes 4/10 in his matches and ends up in silver 2. If he's truly a plat 5, he will climb easily. His mmr had already set him in the gold tier, but going 4/10 lowered it to silver 2.

To be honest silver is just shinier bronze.. Especially silver as low as silver 5. If you're good enough you'll be able to carry yourself out of bronze and into silver. Check my rank and call me a baddie if you want because I'm bronze V, But I enjoy playing for fun.. I know how good I am and I'm not close to diamond so as far as I'm concerned I don't really need an SII or SI to tell me that I play at silver. TL;DR AFKs aside, your rank will adjust itself to place you where you truly belong. P.S. The amount of champions you own only influence your rank as far as how flexible you are to play different roles with different champs, etc. The amount of skins you own is entirely irrelevant in correlation to your rank. I've also heard of people winning 9 out of ten placements just to be placed in bronze IV/V. It might not seem like it makes sense, but after awhile it'll become clear. Hopefully this post helped you in some way, but regardless have a good night and see ya on the rift! :D

EVERYONE DROPS AT LEAST 1 TIER. CHALLENGER PLAYERS HAVE TO PLAY FROM PLAT 1 ALL THE WAY BACK TO CHALLENGER. THUS EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO DROP TOO AS WE ALL HAVE TO RECLIMB THE LADDER. THIS IS ALL FULLY INTENDED.

THANK YOU AND STOP MAKING THESE THREADS.
