Honestly silver seems to be a good divider between not good players and decent players If everyone got placed in silver they would quickly drift towards where they belong or just be an average player and float around in silver

The main problem is the reduction of exp required to hit level 30. This obviously isn't a problem for smurfs, but an actual new player lacks the experience to be silver. It took nearly twice as long to reach 30 as it does now, the experience difference between an old fresh 30 and a new fresh 30 is immense.

Imo there's only 2 ways you can fix this: 1.) increase the ranked requirement to level 45 2.) decrease the starting MMR for new players joining ranked.

I think is fair to place new into silver (its usally s2 -s4). You either are good and you climb to gold for season rewards, or are bad and go to noobville/troll town. If you are still in silver it means you are pretty decent and if you can impove gold is very close. It would suck to be a new player and instaly be thrown into the most toxic troll filled place, when you are new to the game bronze really becomes elo hell and having to grind so far for rewards would feel bad to decent players who are new.
