New Ranked Season will start with Position Ranking and Matchmaking ONLY coming to NA and KR for "Competitive reasons".

Is this a joke? A new Official ranked season will start and we will be STILL testing the system, and make it only available in 2 regions? Why not make it available to all regions?

Why not do the testing when we were in Preseason? I seriously dont get this company. Yes it will be only during the first Split, but it doesnt change the fact it shows incompetence and unfairness towards other regions and just plain slacking

It is probably to find a median, The supposed best KR and the supposed worst NA...

Can't really test a rank system during pre-season when no one takes it seriously.

The most important thing to test for the new system is where to put the cutoffs for each rank. Since players now have 5 rankings instead of 1, their overall rankings will move slower. As a result, riot needs to change the cutoffs for each rank to preserve the same percentages for each rank and that is something they can only test during the regular season.

Good. Anyone who is playing in a EST zone of the United States, just switch to LAN. The servers are located in Florida. :)
