Why is it so hard for me to climb just because i placed bronze in the first season i played

*So i started playing league about a year and a half ago. I started playing ranked too soon and got my account in bronze 2. Only played 20-30 games or so.

So this season doing placements i know that you cannot place higher than you did last season its just how it works. Which i dont see as fair because i've learned so much about the game since then, but i can see why they would have that in place to keep people from accidentally getting lucky and placing too high. But this brings me to my main point..

        Why is it taking so long to get out of bronze. Its rediculous. i will be out eventually because i have a 64% win rate. but when i compared my op.gg to the op.gg of someone who just inted my promos i see this.

them : 14 games played 3W 11L - 21% win rate

me :

67 games played 42 W 25 L - 63% win rate

how can someone who just placed barely played and with a 21% win rate be bronze 1 and not bronze 5 when because of how the system works i have to start sooooooooo much lower and play for weeks to grind up because my mmr shit because last season it seems really rediculous when i look at the two. i shouldn't have to play for a month straight with an about 60% wr just to get silver i mean holyy.

Do you want the honest answer or the fake one?

Fake one: Well your MMR and winrates divided by the amount of games you play and depending on what time the train leaves the station going 60mph headed east towards the next station minus the amount of wind resistance = your mmr!!!

Honest one : Riot's matchmaking is sometimes janky and pure garbage.

In video games, people use the word "ladder" as an alternative word. There's a lot of people you have to climb over or climb over via someone who climbed over them. And if someone's going down, a lot of people are going to have to climb over him as well.

The remaining portion is: What's the difference between someone who is climbing up and someone who is being climbed over the moment they are both on the same rung of the ladder?

(Congratulations on the improvement.)
