Riot fix your stupid flex queue placements system.

I spend all of my time just to reach at least Silver 5 in Flex queue, because in Solo/Duo I am stuck on Bronze 5 thanks to unskilled feeders. I win 6 times and lose 4 times and you give me Bronze 5. Like COME ON!! AT LEAST Silver 5. I hate this Bronze hell and now your stupid flex queue placements system makes it worse. I don't wanna be toxic or rude, but come on, give players who are stuck in Bronze 5 like me a chance to finally be free of it in another queue so they can feel/learn how it is in a little higher league like Bronze 1 - Silver 5/4. To improve their skills in their Solo/Duo Bronze league. I hope this helps with something about the placements system. I see different Platinum - Diamond players get an bad or average Win/Loss in their flex queue placements and get in Gold/Platinum League. The system isn't supposed to decide in which league you start just because of your Solo/Duo league. That's unfair. Your league should be determined by your placement Win/Loss score, not your Solo/Duo league. Please fix this Riot.

Because of the MMR mismatch in Flex Queue, you got reset to the original starting point (pre placements). But remember this is only Preseason, the rank you accomplish now WILL BE RESET AGAIN! The rank you get in preseason does only influnece the placement in Season 7 to a SMALL extend! (only your starting point in season 7 is affected by Preseason ranks) Sidenote: 1-2 Tier drops are completely normal in preseason.

I.E.: You were Plat 5 at the end of the season, were placed high Silver after placements, now got placed low Silver. If you now climb to Plat again, you will then only be placed in low Gold at the start of Season 7!

So dont worry to much about the current placement!

I assume you just finished your 10 placements and did not needed to play the "extra" placement game? If yes then you were reset to the start again, the 10 placements were not counted, because they were simply to unbalanced to use them for evaluating your rank! This sucks, but atleast now the matches should be better balanced! :/

Thanks for the comment, now I understand how it REALLY works.I just get very disappointed because now players think that I'm a very bad player, because I have both Solo and Flex B5 and I'm actually not that bad at all.

its just the preseason dont worry! when the real season starts you can show them what youre capable of! And you will play new placements too at the start so you might get faster out of there then you think! But beeing reduced by 1 or 2 hole tiers is not uncommon so no need to feel ashamed :D about 50% are placed at bronze 5 right now xD
