Ok so if any riot members read this i have a quick question. Wtf is wrong with provisionals? Everyone in gold and plat last season doing good in their provisionals dropped to silver. You even said, and I quote, "this season's ranked system (like last season's) will be heavily based on last season's rank and preseason's rank. Notice how you said heavily. However, many, many people have dropped from plat or gold to silver going between 6-4 to 9-1 in their provisionals. Those are pretty good ratios.... so what exactly happened? Why did you lie to us?

P.S.: Not really sure which board to place this under so i said gameplay.

happens every year, whoever is complaining simply just dealed with provisionals for the first time ever. It's a method to kick out the fakes who got boosted I believe, or those who used provis last minute to automaticly get good rankings.

Well, if the you climbed to G1 last season, then you lost just 1 game and did nothing but be God mode all 9 other games you should still come in G2 or lower. G1 is your highest potential placing because that's what is to be considered the top of your game until you battle your way past it. It's considered the most powerful your current skill level will allow you to play. Now, not every win you have is because you did well, and on occasion you will get carried because you did bad that particular game. Every season you come in starting lower than your previous height. Another thing I'm sure you didn't consider is that the MMR of your opponents makes a difference. A Plat can go epic 10 provisionals in a row, but if it was against Bronzies the whole time then it's simply not a big deal and not worth as much. Football is the exact same way. If it comes down to picking one team or the other, it goes to the team that beat the tougher opponents.

Here, I'll save you some frustration in a year too. In season 7 you will end provisionals at a lower rank then you end season 6 at. Come to terms with it now so that you can not stress on it.
