So I'm sure that everyone and their dog has bitched about this at some point or another on here. It was my belief that winning in excess of 80% of placement matches put you in gold. Imagine my surprise when I finished my 10 placement matches, having won 10 placement matches, to be placed into Silver 2. That's one hell of an algorithm you guys have going there. GG.

You had less than half as many wins as you did losses last season. That's like wood tier. That factors into your starting point for this season.

I finished silver 3 last year topped at silver 1........ went 4-6 in placement ended up in bronze 3...... I was also like 2 kda with like 80% kill participation in games where overall it was like 10 to 30 in kills....... complete troll teams with fed ass other team........ at least I get to go yolo and carry every game in bronze lol

I was b3, carried to win 8 of the placements as Talon , then put in b5. I had a 17/0 game among other stupid KDAs. The algorithm too real.

Ya there is really no point in having to play placements, i played all of my placement matches vs B4's and dominated in all of them (winning 8 of 10). Ive placed in bronze the last 3 seasons and climbed to the top of silver in each of them. Would reroll my account if I didnt have all of the champs unlocked and hundreds of dollars in skins on this one.

If you are interested in how the algorithm works you can find that info here:

Its wonky, and it can be frustrating. We feel your pain on that. Best of luck on the Rift mate!

I was Gold V in last season but yet this so-called MMR made me Bonrze 4 while im winning 7/3 of placement.
