So far mine have been... meh. What else is new with league? haha I'm 3:3 so far so I'm at a 50% win rate.

EDIT: Ended up 6:4

I've luckily only had one loss with an afker (last year I had 5 it was a nightmare).

The other games came out like this.. http://prntscr.com/5vlvkd Had a support amumu who didn't believe in support items so he had basically no gold. Just dove in headfirst and waited to ult after 3 of our teammates died. Hence why he had no kills/assists either.

Then there was this one.. http://prntscr.com/5vluvy Even after roaming and getting the ball rolling on top and bot, they just couldnt do a thing. Nidalee somehow did almost no damage and thresh went in on every hook he landed even if he was alone.

Then this great fiora.. http://prntscr.com/5vo5wl Didn't ult ONCE all game. Said her R key was broken so she couldn't use it. Even though we told her re-bind it and how to yet she refused... not sure why?

i went 6-4 from diamond 5 got placed plat 1. First game of day was with kat support so that game sucked, 2nd game of the day lost cause of throws, then mid laner went on tilt. Then i won 4 straight, then lost with vayne (probably wont plat her for a bit), won as morgana support, lost next game rek'sai shit on everyone, then won last game.

so no afkers this season. But its weird cause diamond elo seems to being jumbled cause i played games with high diamonds and even had a game with 1 challenger lol.

First provisional game of the season I got an instant Raging AFKer Sion. Literally for no reason besides to troll. Second game we had a jungler and support that spammed chat and emotes in the base until 10 minutes in. Then they tower dived over and over until we surrendered.

So far pretty par for the course knowing the League community, lol.

i didnt even bother last night. i booted up a couple arams and was getting regular spikes of 130-450 ping and often losing control of my character. glad i tested the water before trying. not surprised either, typical that rito servers blow up on patch day. #eastcoastproblems

I'm waiting a few weeks later so the tryhards go away.

They aren't because Ranked Dominion doesn't exist.

3-7, silver 3 to bronze 4....enough said by viewing the game history. Obviously not my fault for losing more than 2 of the games I lost. I had 1 or 2 bad games, but thats about it.

2 afk games, 3 games of total crapmates. Basically 5 auto-losses.

nothing to be done when 3/5 teammates have twice the deaths as they have kills and assists. The other team is just too fed to win unless they go derp mode.

EDIT: I can distinctly remember friends only winning 2/10 games last season and still being silver, yet I get dropped MORE than a division this year for winning more. Riot even said that provisional games this year would impact placement less.

As usual, you'll have ten placement games to fight through before settling in to your tier and division, ready for the climb. But this time, they work a little differently: in previous seasons, placement games were way more impactful than regular season games. Challenger players could lose all ten games and end up in Silver during the 2014 placements, while Bronze players could go on lucky winning sprees and end up in Plat before getting their butts kicked repeatedly until they fell a few tiers. Neither of these are good experiences, so while this year’s placements are still important, they won’t cause established players to swing as far up or down because of good or bad luck. Your placement will still be heavily influenced by where you ended up last season. If you’ve never played ranked, then your form in your placements will be all that matters!

Finally, with the pretty substantial changes that preseason brought, we figured that everyone should have a fresh opportunity to rise to the top. Because of that, we’re again running a soft reset to player position with the start of the ranked season, meaning you’ll likely place lower than where you ended the previous season.
