Can I have some placement advice :)?

Hey, thanks for taking a sec to check this out...

Foreword: I'm really sorry if this is in the wrong section, first post on the Forums...

So, I know we're in Pre-season and there is quite a bit of 'mystery' to how your rankings will affect 2017's season...

**Here's the scoop: **

I'm playing Support, doin' my business - getting assists, steppin' up to carry when the game got hard - I play a pretty aggressive support, I like to hand my ADC kills if possible :D.

My placement series looks like this:

  • 10/10 games won
  • 5 Games I get an S (one S-, three S, one S+)
  • 4 Games I get an A (A couple +'s, one or two reg)
  • 1 Game I get a B+ (didn't have time to rev it up as they FF@20)
  • ...Where do I end up? BRONZE V and Confused.

Here is the link to show my wins: 10/10 Won

I've heard from my buddies (who literally just placed during preseason, like this week)...they're getting like 6 wins, 4 losses, and their performance is around A on Average. Maybe an S one or two games.

  • Gold III for one (7/3 wins)
  • Silver II for another (6/4 wins)

...So kind of deflated at the screen that says...

"Your ranked climb begins at Bronze V."

I don't get how you can win 10/10...get an S - S+ on half, and A's pretty much on the rest... ...and yet end up at B5 Lol :(

Can someone who has a little understanding advise? I seem to be missing the ratio here of how it works, because I'm dumbfounded :/.

Thanks so much in advance, gratitude.

Hi, fellow bronze v here. Was silver last season.

I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone's being placed quite low relative to their rank.

What's more important is your mmr. If you win a match, you'll quite likely earn a lot of lp. Your placements weren't meaningless. You'll climb faster due to your performance in them.

Pretty much everyone you've been facing has been silver/bronze, so that's what your MMR's been based around. That might not be the correct answer, but that's what I'm seeing by going through your match history and the only way I could possibly think that would describe it. I myself went 6/4 in my promos and got placed in g4, but a lot of the people I were against were diamond last season and their flex queue ranks were high gold/silver as well.

I went from Silver 3 to Gold 4 in just a few days. (One of those ranks was literally in less than 6 hours)

I don't think you should worry so much about where you placed, since it can always be improved upon. Just make sure you know how to work as a team member, do your part to ward or scan for wards, and communicate. Keep focus on objectives and pick champions for your team that help it work cohesively.

Good luck, and enjoy your climb.

Thanks everyone for the replies, it helps a lot - and takes a little of the 'disheartened' feeling away haha. I did a bit more research and it just doesn't add up, and the conclusion I've come to is that it's flawed atm.

Seems like there are radical results for people, and even checking who my opponents were in those games, a good number of them were Gold, and Plat, a couple Diamonds - but mostly Silvers.

They say wins are around 50% of the result - Okay, got 10/10. They say your individual performance is the other half - Okay, 5 S, 4 A, one B.

So it's a little broken I guess, but nothing can be perfect, just not into the grind from Bronze to Silver, and then to Gold, etc Lol. Pent up aggro from this happening each season too lol.

Super appreciate the comments and hopefully you guys are right. Maybe my LP will skyrocket in the Bronze Divis. Who knows.

Much gratitude summoner 31
