Season 7 placement bullshittery

TuckVEVO··2 votes·13,070 views

I won 7 of my placements and got put in bronze 1, and i've read that you get put in a rank that was one rank below where you left of. If so, what are the points in the placements if no matter how many you win you get given a rank based on the last season. I have a friend who went 8/2 and got put in bronze 3. Wtf.

Last Season: Silver 3 with low mmr, think around silver 5.... I won 8 of 10 with 2 wining streaks of 4 and I got placed in bronze 3!!

So can someone tell me if this is right?Cassiopeia

yes it surely is , if you're good enough get back there , it's easy as fuck. How are you even silver 3? It's a very low division. I'm really glad that people get demoted , so only those who deserve it get it again , no more hardstuck noobs who get carried so they can keep their silver 5 0 lp. pls.

I'm a consistently placed platinum player.. for the past two years I've hovered around plat 5 ~ 3. This year I had a few DC's in my placements, so I ended up going 4 / 6 but no big deal right?

Low and behold I was placed into SILVER 2....

really? The hell is going on?

It's a mmr thing. You have your mmr from last season and it changes based on how well you do in placements. Then it is added to 1200 and divided by 2. That is how you get placed. Say your mmr was 2000 season 6 and after placements your mmr is 2050. You go 1200+2050=3250. Then divide by 2 and you get 3250/2=1625. That means that you will end up lower than you were.

IDK, it's still seriously tanking and almost as if RITO just wants people to be far below what they were as some incentive for people to play a massive amount of games to grind. The time it takes for each game and tiny amounts of LP you get for it is why I just get to gold each time for the skin reward then stop and play on my other accounts.

Even less incentive now to rank up with so many different ladders in solo, flex and 3s now.

IMO SC2 had an amazing ladder system where you can get promoted just from high performance and not have to grind out 100LP and promo every time, and the season resets would put you near where you were before. If you did really bad you'd tank out a lot faster than here (needing a whole tier MMR drop to drop down is fucking stupid) but could rise faster so you get much more even games rather than slugging it out for a month with silvers to get into gold as a plat player.

I got placed Plat 2 as a D5 player going 4-6. Placements are not messed up at all. Most people who got placed really low most likely had mmr far lower than the rank they were at.

The idea that you will get placed one rank below where you left off is wrong. You will get a new soft reset elo claculated for you, then you will get placed even lower than that at a spot which estimates that in about 50 games you should end up where you are supposed to be based on your elo.

...Most people that are challenger, master, and diamond all placed in Platinum - for some people this is a full 2 leagues lower than what they placed. No one is getting "stroked". If you got Bronze 5, chances are your mmr was around silver 5. Stop bitching and just play the damn game or don't. No amount of forum posts are going to change Riots decision.

In flex queue:

  • I have a plat 5 friend go 4-6 and place platinum 2.
  • I finished plat 3 and I went 8-2, placed gold 5...

Riot if this isn't bullshit, I have no idea what is. Not only does this violate "soft elo reset" but by numbers this makes no sense. To contain a placement system that keeps players in a position to receive an unjustly higher rank vice-versa is hypocritical to the purpose of "soft elo reset".

Fix this please. Legit this is wrong.

It wasn't THAT bad. I was upset, at first, especially considering i had 3 afks and 2 intents during placements, but seriously...took me 3 weeks to climb up thru 4 series. The thing that DOES suck, however, is getting stuck with people who actually DO play at the level in which you're ranked.

I hate how your first placements are weighed the heaviest. why arent all the games you play equal? I lost my first 2 and then won 8 in a row but i still got bronze 3... plus i ended bronze 1 last season

Perhaps because you and your friend suck ass badly at the game? Learn to play the game
