@Riot: Placements...cmon

It happens every reset.

"Worked my ass off to make it to Gold 4, went 7-3 and now I'm Silver 5? Wtf Riot."

"Oh, you think that's bad? I Hit Diamond 3 on the last day of the season...now I'm Gold 3."

It appears to me that placements being flawed, is one of the very few issues in which summoners of all ranks can agree on.

let's go down the rabbit hole a little further, and meet the summoner we've all met before.

"No, you are wrong. By my calculations x/100 e=mchammer +/- 50 the color shoes you're wearing, -1337 +69 divided by the amount of times you got laid last season, will accurately predict where you will be placed."

We get it, you intern at NASA and look like

How about Riot takes the initiative to settle the mystery once and for all? I guess it wouldn't be called initiative after 6 seasons, so how about responsibility. Is it that by proclaiming the recipe for your secret sauce, you will prove it sucks? You as a company are pretty good at damage control, so why won't you put a few guys on it...stick your formula on the front page and then justify your system...the way it needs to be justified.

Here we go, let's meet our next summoner

"QQ, it all evens out in the end. So what if you hit Gold 5, if you really deserved it you will be back there in 50 games or so. Good Job Riot."

Okay. It sounds plausible, but what about all the unknown variables a summoner can't cover with raw skill? It would be impossible to calculate, but I'm sure one of you will try, to figure out how many summoners grinded their ass off to reach ___, but failed to reach it in the next season. The guy got married and didn't no life it. More afkers then previous seasons. etc. It isn't the future most of these people are complaining about, it's the past. We as a community invest our time and money, blood and tears, and for a few of us..souls into the game you've created. Do you not think we deserve better? Or at least an explanation?

Just a thought. flame me or whatever....just hard to ignore the roaring crowds season after season. Create a system that his limits as to how far you drop, and for god sakes explain it when you do.
