Dear Riot,

Why in the world would you think that, I, your customer for the past three years, would want to climb back out of bronze elo AGAIN. Why would I spend any more money to support your cause (I have literally spent 100's $). I feel so violated. I feel empty. This game is no longer fun and will not recommend this game to anyone, anymore. Whatever the hell your algorithm is for placements, please fix it. At least for future generations. Thats what were about, right?

Sincerely, Frustrated Summoner.

Season 6 Silver 5 being placed in Bronze seems totally fine lol.

Stop crying.

B5 from S5 is normal. It happened to me too. You weren't victimized. Stop making a fuss over nothing. It's Bronze 5, any one with a lick of sense can climb out of B5.

The whole point of ranked is to see improvement in yourself via climbing. If you start too close to your previous rank you are unlikely to learn anything unless you are at the top of the ladder.

You know how Riot said you would be placed lower than you ended the previous season?

This is you being placed lower.

I mean how dare they make you earn your placements again!? The top football/basketball/baseball teams shouldn't have to earn their right each season either by starting over from scratch too right!? Oh wait they do too the past season means absolutely nothing.

At least be glad it isn't a hard reset like Riot used to do. Then you would need to compete against the rest of us who are in Plat/Diamond/Masters/Challenger to actually earn your ranking like most professional sports do.

Also spending money does not somehow make you an exception to undergoing rank placements like every other player in the game.

Feels bad man. Last season I was placed in S4 with only 4 wins. Currently, I have only 2 games left in my placements, and I'm 6/2. However, everyone I play with is placed in b2 and b3. I fear the worst.
