Okay. Now, I know that when the new season starts your mmr is lowered. Thats understandable. I played many ranked games in the pre-season keeping my mmr up to normal division standards. Season 6 starts, I play ranked and I get bronze 1. Is there like some random f-ing gernerator that just plops you down in a division because last season I didnt play in preseason, won 9-1 games and got silver 3. How does 6-4 drop me 5 divisions when played during the preseason. Can someone explain?

  1. After Placements, you won't be the same rank you ended S5 / S6 Preseason as.
  2. If you deserve to be a higher rank, then eventually you will get there.

For those who don't understand why there are MMR resets and why Placements are how they are take into consideration the following.

The game is constantly changing, Players can be a Bronze material player one patch and a Gold Player in another patch. Don't expect to be the same rank every season just because you ended S5 as X rank. The game is always changing that means the player must adapt to these changes. Some players adapt to change better than others, that is why they are ranked higher. The point of the MMR Reset is to display how a player has adapted to these changes, which means the rank you're placed at isn't so significant. 10 Game is statistically not a large enough sample size to draw any conclusions, so stop worrying about your Rank and continue playing more games.
