Thoughts on MMR and Placements

I'd like to quote one of my heroes Frank Underwood. "You are entitled to nothing." I'm tired of all these threads about people who are complaining about being demoted from silver 4 to bronze or whatever the case my be.

Consider this, challenger players have been demoted to Platinum 1. Those of us in diamond will likely be low Plat or even high gold. See them complaining? No. They know that they are able to play better than where they were placed. If you truly deserve better than where you were placed you also will be able to climb.

So stop saying you're quitting the game because we all know that if you do quit you'll be back in a couple days maybe a week if you're that strong willed. We all love this game and nothings going to stop us from playing so use it as motivation

I think the point people are making is why even have Placements if you go 10-0 and still get demoted to the lowest possible Division. it's almost a waste of your time and games. I'm not someone who got placed that low, but I'm reading people who got placed Bronze 5 going 10-0? Then why not just put them Bronze 5 let them get those 10 wins up to Bronze 3 or 2. Makes no sense.

Sucks for those who bought the accounts! Better actually deserve your MMR (or just buy another one)
