I never understood why Unrankeds play with silvers. Or Newbies get placed into silver.

This makes the silver elo x10 worse.

Yeah, we silvers are average, ᵃᵛᵉʳᵃᵍᵉ ᵍᵃʳᵇᵃᵍᵉ. But at least we know the game. Our Micro/Macro might not be as great as others, but do we deserve unranked players (not talking about refreshed season, talking about brand new level 30's, brand new players- Thanks riot for making leveling up faster (S^_^)b.) when they first decide to rank?

Make new rankers play with Bronze players. Most games do this, EVERYONE starts from the bottom and work their way up but I guess League thought, it'll be great to let everyone know they're average. This some false dream in leading new players to think they're special?. I remember my first time ranking I got Silver IV on EUW, I boasted it. And laughed at my friends in Bronze, cause I was Silver, "I'm better than you, this border says so". But that bronze friend of mine kicked my ass in every aspect of the game, yet he was bronze and sure enough when ranking with other players I did complete shit and went negative all the way to Silver V.

I'm not even mad I'm in Silver IV right now trying to get to gold before the end of February, I've seen some shit. An Anivia midlaner no HP Pots vs Katarina and spamming KYS, easily reported. But what pissed me off was the unrankedRiven going against Riven in lane got absolutely shat on, had no idea how to combo or when to roam, she went 1/11/3. Even with the Anivia feeding in lane we could have won if a regular top laner was playing.

I have no problem climbing but the first time ranked players have always unsettled me in silver games. I understanding some people don't play ranked at all but have been playing for years, would they be better than the, "Level 30 in a month, let's hop in a ranked game" type of player?, yeah but they're also the type to play for fun. Most people I play with that don't touch ranked despite playing for years just play for kicks. And when coming to the ranked scene they can't adjust to the serious atmosphere and won't try to minimize their mistakes, while their attitude is nice, their game play doesn't change.

There placements should work like this.

1st game B5, if Win 2nd game B4, if win 3rd game B3 so on and so fourth giving them no higher then S1.

Now if they lose a game they repaly that MMR, lose twice they drop one. lose two in a row then win replay same tier, win again advance. Win after lose advance.

That wouldn't work though because not every win has been focused on you. You could have been carried got placed into Silver 1 while you play like SIlver V

The average MMR is roughly Silver 4.

They are basically placing players in the middle of all players and letting them rise or fall appropriately.
