Someone need to explain me...

Helo guys,

My english is'nt so good so be comprehensive.. I ended the season as a silver 5, 95LP, 52% win rate in SOLO/DUO. I did my 10 first games in flex with my friend and we won 6/10 games I was placed Silver II. About 1 hour each games. I was so happy that i played ALOT more, like, 25 games in about 2-3 days. I had about 65-70 % win rate, so i got to my series for silver I. I though it was pretty good. Lets say 1 hour each, 25 games, 25 hours. Then riot trolled me, they said i had to do another game, idk the f** reason. lose it. Bronze III 0 LP.

Ok. Can someone explain me, the logic behind that?? i mean, i was against people silver 1 ++ and i had about 70% win rate (now less) and was in my series for silver I. '' you are qualified for silver I series''

If i'm qualified for silver I, why not im not even in SILVER !?! Like, last game they said I was qualified for silver 1, now, one game later, im not even for silver ! My qualification changed alot in 20 hours !

Just imagine that i was placed at first in bronze 5 0LP, with my 25 games i would be more than bronze 3 ! LOL. Thank you for wasting my time riot. 25 fucking hours.

This explains what's happening.

By the way, you should never place higher then you were last season. The MMR system was messed up, sorry mate :c.

So 25 fucking useless games, then solo duoQ: 10 games, they'll reset flex , 10 other useless games and they will reset soloduoQ AGAIN. Total waste time: 55 hours Final result: Bronze 5 (i guess) Oh, I was about to spend 50$ in RP, i guess that ill buy something else. That do not explain why they took 3 days, but i guess they are just fucking stupid.

It's preseason, you should've known that preseason doesn't affect your rank. At least, not much. Just wait until the season starts, or see if you can get a high rank in preseason when soloq comes out :)

I'm not sure why you are agnry actually. Unless something changed (and I apologize if it did without me noticing it) but you will get reset in roughly three weeks (when the new season begins) again, don't you? So don't be angry you will doing another train of placement matches once again and once again you will be put in a lower division then you are.

Well at least that's what I got from that FAQ posted by Riot.

Am I wrong?

Why i'm angry ? maybe because i did 25 useless games? Maybe because i lost 8 rank in 1 game ? I think theres alot of reasons to be angry.

Seriously, riot should just give the choice: Pass the placement and go directly to bronze 5 or try placement.

I mean, exept if you are like, gold, reset is just retarded. its 10 useless games, like, a total waste of time.

It's either you don't understand what I mean or I misudnerstand you.

It's pointless, your rank right now has little to no value to your starting rank in 2017. Riot mentioned it several times. Right now it's a preseason time ranking in preseason with hard feelings when you know in advance that it almost doesn't matter is your problem not anyone else's.

So you didn't lose anything. Because it will be reseted in like two to three weeks anyway. So why the frustration? It's a new season that will be coming and you always have to go through placements when a new season comes, it's a shared mechanic among many other games too.

If your rank is the only thing that you are interested in and not the game or fun itself than the whole preseason is a waste of time for you so just stop playing for one month (wellt 2-3 weeks now) and get back when the new season is back.

I really don't understand why you are so angry when Riot (as every year) announces it in advance. Preseason is something different to new season, that's why you see people even picking low win/pick rate champions just for fun because they are not good for ladder climbing.

So again, why are you so angry, it doesn't matter if they messed up the ranking in preseason because they will basically delete in again anyway (effect will be minimal as they mentioned several times).
