When to do provisionals?

Hi I was wondering if when you do your provisionals makes a difference in where you’re ranked. If so, when should I play? Reason I’m asking is that I was silver in season 4 and I started playing ranked towards the end of the seasons and I went 7/3 in my provisionals in season 5 which I did at the beginning of the season and got placed bronze and the climb was a real pain in the butt. Also everyone doing provisionals right now is getting placed in bronze and its reaaaalllly scary because bronze is not a happy place to get stuck in. Someone please explain I’m getting different answers from my friends lol. I already know that eventually when you play enough you’ll get placed back to silver, but I’m kinda terrible at carrying. THANKS :D

I would do them right now before you get stuck with people that are actually under your rank.

After a few months, a lot of players will be back up to their normal ranking. The diamond players will be diamond again, the plats will be plats, etc. You could get placed higher if you wait for that to happen or at the very least, it will be easier to get back to silver since all the other silver players will be in silver already. So you will be playing actual bronze players instead of silver1/gold5 players to climb back up.

i'm going to do them when they have real rankings up

dynamic que doesn't seem logical for ranking since you'll have many guys on the same ladder playing totally different games
