9-1 and bronze 5

b00tymagik··4 votes·700 views

Like the title says. I played all of my placements, won 9 of them and lost 1. Was placed bronze 5.

Why should I even try in placements if I literally get the worst rating possible.

According to na.op.gg I have a an MMR of 1,499 and says I'm likely to be placed in gold 5.

Could this be a placement bug like in preseason? This makes no sense.

In last year or year and a half for few reasons i started to believe that the matchmaking system and with it the ranked system is a fraud made by riot...or whoever owns them...manipulating with people's emotions to gain even more profit isnt a new thing in bussines world and people should be aware of it ...

Considering op.gg says you were in Bronze the past two seasons, this is nothing new. Back when I was bronze (season 2-3) I would always get placed in low bronze when winning a high amount of placements. Op.gg is also not really that actuate when trying to determine your MMR as that is a hidden thing by Riot and these third party sites are just using their own algorithms to calculate them. If you go to mine it's saying I'm in the 1700s which would place me in Gold 1 and I've only ever been as high as Gold 4. So... lololol to that one..

Having 9 1 and be placed in the bottom of the bottom of the ranked system should be normal thing now ?

Its sure thing that something isn't right with the matchmaking system...if it would be fair a guy maybe wouldn't win 90% of the matches but also wouldn't be placed to the bottom like as if he just started to play ranked...somethings fishy about it...

It is pretty normal, because for the most part you are still playing in your Elo against other players of the same level. Everyone may be soft set to a Silver level according to the system but in all reality you are still facing the same people you normally would, so it's basing that MMR off the MMR they had previously and just rebuilding.

I went 7-3 in season 3 placements and was still placed Bronze 5. So like I said, it's not anything new... it's also why I've since then found it better to NOT dive right into ranked within the first month or so of the season. The rank itself is just one thing though, the MMR might be higher than it so they can climb easily afterwards if they are able to keep a steady winrate.

how could you even hope to be placed to gold when you ended the season in bronze

you are not placed higher than you were, almost never, especially that higher, you are placed lower than where you were

This crap needs to end. It's a ladder reset for a reason. If you were in bronze last season expect to be at the bottom of bronze again. You're not going to magically boost a whole tier and more because some algorithm believe it to be so. Riot has stated that these third party sites are not fully accurate on many occasions.
