I gone 6 win and 4 losses and place in BV. Knowing very well, even I did 10 games wins, I'll still get placed in BV. =/ Just climb now. Don't reply on your placements to get to the elo you think you should belong.

So I see that you finished in bronze in season 6. When the ranked reset occurs the highest rank you can be placed in is Platinum 1. This means that all of the Diamond, Master and Challenger players are place into Platinum. This forces the Platinum players into Gold, the Gold players into Silver, and the Silver players into Bronze. Players who finished bronze in season 6 are pretty much guaranteed to get bronze again because everyone starts roughly a tier lower than where they finished last season (or more if you're really high ranked.)

On the plus side, if you won 9 out of 10 then you're obviously improving. Additionally, you didn't really lose much due to the ranked reset. You were bronze and now you're bronze again. Sure you didn't gain anything either but pretty much everyone loses in the reset. Hell, the challenger players drop from challenger to platinum! Imagine how they feel. That's thousands of LP that they have to grind.

Since you were bronze previously, there's a 100% chance you'd be there again. Placements don't work like "oo If I win 10 of them I get out of bronze!" You have to actually climb out of it if you want a chance at being somewhere else.

quite true. should have just chilled out in tryin to place because it would not have made a bit of difference

I recently started playing I had no idea.

The climb isn't worth it theirs nothing but people who are either smurfs or fool around with the excuse "dude its bronze" ( that one kills my soul)

Players who were bronze last season should just be placed in bronze this season without placements, it truly is a waste of time.

only benefit is your mmr or LP is higher than 0

AsodinDec 15, 20161 votes

So why force me to do placement matches if im in the lowest elo?

CrazyBear1987Dec 15, 20161 votes

i know right

just to update your current mmr or lp i guess

WELCOME TO THE TRIBE, BROTHER!

Don't worry. If you don't deserve to be in Bronze, you'll get out...I'm told.

AsodinDec 15, 20161 votes

Im gonna start drinking coffee again so that I can try hard with out passing out. Its the only way.

RookPusherDec 15, 20161 votes

Haha, you. are. adorable.

Ain't no try down here, brother bear. Trade in that coffee for some mute button and some anti-anxiety medicine. Friend me if you'd like. I can speak to these people. I've lived among them for years.

Very true. I was placed B5 after ending Season 6 in Silver 5. I've already climbed to B3. Though I had moments of frustration, overall, it was relatively easy. The real interesting thing is that I;m still playing vs last season Silvers like myself. Imagine how much easier it would have been if I were playing against entire teams of real Bronzies.

At least your mmr is higher now. Mmr has a bigger impact on climbing than rank, so at least there's that.

I feel you tho.

AsodinDec 15, 20161 votes

I only started playing a few months ago pls explain mmr to me.

NotSpecialDudeDec 15, 20161 votes

mmr or "Match Maker Rating" is a somewhat hidden stat that determines your rank and the rank of players you play with or against. I say somewhat, because while the game itself doesn't tell you the stat it can be measured by third party websites and so forth.

Essentially your mmr is what truly determines your rank. For a frame of reference, I have a buddy who ended last season in G5 and began this season in S5. He climbed to his promos and once he won them he immediately jumped to S2. The reason was simple, his mmr was of a S2 level so when he ranked up he went straight to it. The logic also works in reverse, if he fell to 0lp he wouldnt be demoted until his mmr was lower then his rank.

AsodinDec 15, 20161 votes

oh i kind of get it but what determines mmr ?

NotSpecialDudeDec 15, 20161 votes

The outcome of your games. Placesments games are intended as a shotgun approach to determining skill since after all 10 games is a small sample size in this game. So their impact would be drastic and not entirely accurate. Personally I ended the last two seasons in low silver but started in bronze for both, I suspect I will end up in bronze again this season also.

After placements mmr is adjusted with subsequent games. Losses lowered mmr and wins raised it but not every loss or win was equal. If you won against players with significantly lower mmr then yourself you would hardly gain any for yourself while a loss would devastate your mmr. Likewise a win against insurmountable odds would yield massive rewards while a loss will do minor damage. This is the true risk with grouping with other players since if your buddies were lower level then you they would easily drag you down to their level.

oh ok thank you.

NotSpecialDudeDec 15, 20161 votes

No problem, also try to think positively. Your efforts aren't wasted.

Does it effect the amount of LP you get with each win or something.
