Unranked should really start in mid bronze

People who do their first 10 games of ranked should start mid bronze really, especially since leveling to 30 is much more easy now. There is a huge skill gap between new level 30s and the average silver player, and any team that gets them usually lose (trust me when i just got to level 30 i kept losing at silver 5)

EDIT: Also, it might have less people complain about "elo hell", because if they were silver the season before and bronze now, they have a higher chance of believing elo hell as they think they deserve silver because they were in it last season, but now they are "stuck" in bronze.

p.s for rito: that might also decrease toxicity

I was placed bronze 2 for winning 1 game of comp, losing 9.

I am a brand new player, relatively. I feel unranked players should always start in bronze tier, because it makes sense. You shouldn't be putting people who have 20 champions worth 450 IP into ranked, that's deficient. They have no knowledge of anything; roles, objectives, you name it. Killing others is all you learn 1-30. Unless you are a 'smurf' ranking a new account, you really don't know anything about the game until someone else retains that knowledge to you.

edit: I regularly checked my op.gg, it jumped from gold 3 to silver 1 to bronze 1 2 3 until I got placed.

I think mid silver is fine. Mid to low silver is all new players anyways. Putting a new player in Bronze 3 sounds horrible, they will get a Teemo ward and an AFK Lux on their team, or play against a smurf that wants to smash him...

dumb idea lol

and smurfs? winning all 10 placements hard carrying plat 5/gold 1's get placed in bronze 3? then they ruin the game for ~20 games while they make their very easy climb towards plat

a waste of time for smurfs, and totally depressing for people in bronze/silver/gold who have to deal with these smurfs
