New People in Ranked

I understand that people need a place to begin in ranked, however if they are just starting in ranked they should not be put anywhere above bronze. It does not matter how good or bad they are. I have had several games now where people say it is their first ranked game and it legitimately is. These people are starting in gold elo and ruining games because it is a 4v5. You cant solo carry a game or even carry some of these people because they dont even understand how to play the game at its core. I am just really tired of having to deal with these people, yes it is just a game but I am not playing the game to lose. No one ever is playing to lose.

Silver is the average elo which is where new accounts are thrown in.

If they belong in bronze or iron then they will drop to that elo fast.

If new players worry you that much then just get out of the elo where the average is 🤷‍♀️

It's on a curve. That curve is built around the starting mmr. If you move what builds the center of the curve then what do you think happens as it redistributes the population?

If you want a visual. Take a football team. Walk to the 50 yard line. Start sorting them by hight and move them up and down 1 yard at a time. By the end of it the mean average is gonna be close to center.

If You stop before you finish. Move to the 35 yard line. And Start moving folks by hight again. Eventually the mean is going to be on the 35 yard line despite. That value being identical value if you left it at 50.

You know whats worse than getting a silver 3 level 35 player on your team, getting a silver 3 level 300 player on your team.
