Why are placement match players always being put in a too high of elo games?

I had an ashe that had 30 cs while her opponent had 90 it makes no sense its not fair to everyone else and its literally a free loss. No shot of carrying someone THAT bad.

  1. Maybe the quality of players is higher than last year (doubtful but possible)
  2. Maybe the Ashe was having a bad game (most probable)
  3. Maybe placements start everyone at the same spot to give everyone the chance to prove theirself. (quite possible.)

So instead of flaming a player who had a bad game, maybe just focus on where you can improve, because frankly if you're in games with people in placements you're not doing too good yourself.

When I did placements on my alternate account (I'm Silver so I hesitate to call it a smurf), I had one game where our Master Yi said he was a Diamond smurf, went 23/2, and ended the game at 17 minutes. The next game I swear all 9 other players were bots, and I just steamrolled the whole thing on Tryndamere. A few average games after that I got dumpstered by a Katarina who showed me things I wasn't even aware were possible with the champion.

So yeah, placements are all over the map, because the game has no idea where to put you.
