I wish there was some way to redo my placements.

Like many players that started in S6 or maybe even S5, I got my account into trash Elo and now can't get it out. Every game has another troll, a few smurfs, a few feeders, and at best one other good but not smurfing player. Winning in Bronze is just playing the lottery and hoping you get the smurfs and one good player on your team and that the enemy team has the troll and the feeders. I remember that my placements put me in silver, and while it wasn't the best Elo, it was certainly miles ahead of Bronze. I wish that there was some way to redo my placements and wipe my MMR clean. I feel like if I could just get into Silver one more time I could actually climb.

Should be allowed to do this once a season.

My time is Silver was brief because I sucked ass when I was Silver but I lost my games in Silver because I was bad, not because I have full AP no sightstone support Nidalee on my team

I mean that's more or less what the new season does though. It does a soft MMR reset (as far as I know), so you can be placed more or less where you should be. And honestly, sometimes i struggle to climb, but I just remind myself that if I'm good enough, I will climb. And that's more or less it. If you're winning 3/5 games, you will be climbing, if a little slowly. If you aren't climbing, then you probably belong somewhere around where you're at. You can blame trolls and afk's and shitty teams, but the truth is, all those people in gold and plat and diamond and higher went through the same shit. They got out because they were good enough to win more games than they lost.

Edit: I'm drinking, so I might not be getting my point across right, but I'm 99% certain it's still a valid point.
