They should start at the bottom of Bronze.
If Riot wants their game fixed without increasing game times again, here's a place to start.
The discrepancy between players new to ranked and even Silver is too high.
Let them start off lower and climb faster if they win and stay down there if they don't.
If good players using smurf accounts is a worry, then do something about smurfing instead.
Except high bronze/low silver is the average skill level of a new player. Time spent playing the game =/ skill level. I know it is mean to say, but most new players are better at the game than low bronze players who have been playing for years.
The new players are being placed roughly where they are supposed to be.
I know most people tend to brush off bronze players, but even the lowest ranked games can be ruined by people that shouldn't be there, just like any other rank. It would be extremely cruel to make Bronze 5 players have to play vs players of significantly greater skill than themselves every game simply because "oh, it's where we put new players."
If good players using smurf accounts is a worry, then do something about smurfing instead.
Nothing can be done to smurf accounts At most we can limit 1 account per mobile phone but some people dont have a mobile phone. Some people have 2.
SIlver is the Average. Everyone is Average till proven otherwise.
