I already know I'm going to get placed in Bronze 5
I got placed in Bronze 4 last season. I hopped in ranked while I wasn't ready, and I played ranked games while I was awful. But now I've improved tenfold since then.
There is just utterly no way that I don't get Bronze 5 this season. And I'm definitely better than your average Bronze 5.
It's just Riot being lazy and focusing on nerfing Heimerdinger and Kayle more than actually getting a good placement system for where people deserve their ranks.
And the fact that I'm going to get placed in Bronze 5 makes me really, really, really, really, really, really not want to play ranked this season.
Since I'm just going to be placed in some shithole rank.
The worst of the worst.
When in reality, it's just Riot being lazy.
If I manage a 100% winrate in Bronze, it's going to take (assuming I get placed Bronze 5 40 LP) around 36 games to get to Silver 5 0 LP (I may have done the math wrong).
But this is Bronze 5. So I probably won't be able to manage a 100% winrate since Bronze players can manage to throw any game. I managed a 67% winrate on Gnar last season, so lets assume I've improved since then and I have a 75% winrate on Gnar.
And let's say that I 1 trick Gnar this season.
So that takes about 50 games to get out of Bronze this season.
All because of Riot's shitty system of placing them lower than where they were placed last season instead of an actual system where it places me where I deserve to be (probably high Silver~low Gold).
