Why drop everyone down two tiers and make them fight the same rank of players just two tiers lower??

Riot - "Lets take all the players and drop them down 2 whole tiers and then make them compete two tiers lower with the same skill level of people but two tiers lower..."

You are still playing against plat players because all the plat players are in silver... All the bronze and iron are all iron 4 all the low silver are iron 1 and the high silver are bronze 4 etc.... It makes no sense because we are all still playing with the same level of players just in a tier way lower then ours... And they expect us to climb out of it easily well if we can climb out of silver easily playing against plat players then we should easily climb out of plat also... Its the first game I've ever played that totally screwed up the whole entire ladder....

Why not just leave us where we belong since we are competing against our same skill level of players anyways instead of making us climb out of bronze or silver which is actually the new gold or plat....

Just think of the number of plat players that will get carried into diamond cuz they are getting carried by real diamonds and higher elo players in their placements that will be messing with the real diamond players games in a month xD Would make more sense to me that everyone ending Diamond or lower drops a tier and anyone that ended higher start in diamond

Altho I don't think the placement is as bad as you think I was Silver 3 and my first placement game (a lose btw)placed me Iron 1 so I just had to win one of my remaining 9 games to get into bronze. a 5/5 w/l would have placed me bronze 3 so only a tier lower and if I had won all 10 I'd have likely even been B2 or B1

There are a few reasons. If your interested let me know. I think you really just want to hear the relevant information on what being placed 2 tiers lower means to you.

Its just to fuck with player preceptions. LP gains slant will move Ranks to match MMR. So even if your breaking even at 50% your gonna end up with your Rank matching the Range your playing at. It takes longer then 10 games. As long as your seeing Slanted LP gains on W or L you can get a good gauge on what direction your MMR is in comparison to your listed rank.

Because people were complaining there are too many boosted players at their elo.

Think this is Riots version of a Hard Reset when it came to Ranked.

not to hard to plunge total chaos But enough to F things up for gold and below.
