Love it, from Gold 5 to Bronze 1

I played Flex queue when it came out right away and got placed gold 5, since then I played some games and cause of the messed up queue's I kept getting placed with different elo's whether it was playing with Diamonds or against them, I lost around 4 games in a row at one point cause of this, I wasn't too mad cause I still slowly climbed. Then today I logged in and saw you had to play one more to get ranked. I said, meh okay I'll play it and probably get placed back in gold 5 right?

Oh boy was I wrong! I played the game, once again getting ranked with people who are no where near the normal elo I am at, and lost. What rank did I get? Bronze 1.

I was put a complete league below the one I was given prior. I don't think this is correct. My rank in season 6 was Silver 1, nearly gold. Im not saying I am the best player, I am just saying that since they made the mistake with this flex queue, why not just reset the stats completely? Would've been a lot easier, and would've saved a lot of players, such as myself, time. Now I have no more motivation nor interest in playing Flex queue because of this, nor will I be playing it because of it.

I've played this game since the beginning, and put up with several game breaking bugs, none of those have ever really bothered me because I knew Riot would fix them, but this, this bothers me ten-fold. If the system isn't ready to release, don't release it. Don't waste player's, like mine, time.

So if you're really worth Gold V, It should be a piece of cake for you to get back to this division. Heck, it's gonna be a blast for you in bronze. I would enjoy it !

it makes sense.............................. I want to type without yelling but its really damn hard.

Rank resets, new queue, its partially based off your season 6 dynamic queue rank.

Add all of those together and you get = starting rank lower than season 6 ending dynamic.

So.......... if you take s1 + new league + rank reset you should get a rank lower than silver 1.

You dropped 1 tier, perfect! that is like the exact rank you should have gotten.

So yes. You should have started bronze 1, not gold5. Because the system was so fucked at the start you got carried from playing higher elo players and got placed higher than you should have.

Nothing wrong. You right where you should be.
