Start of season just highlights RIOTs lack of respect for their customers.

Everyone gets dumped several leagues lower and has to 'climb' up. Great.

Except it completely ruins matchmaking in bronze/silver and even gold.

I'm gold 4/3 but got dumped in bronze 2. It's no 'fun' smashing an enemy laner that can't beat me. No fun at all.

And I feel sorry for the guy getting stomped. How must he feel?

And I'm seeing similar mis matching in other lanes.

It's not right and the whole 'eventually you'll climb and leave ' argument isn't right because we're still ruining other people's games. And there like 6 million players so it's not a small number.

The whole start of season needs a revamp it's not fair on players and really shows how Riot doesn't give a shit about them.

And then after placements you choose to troll for three games in a row. And the games right after placements are still higher impact than normal, it is just the system does not highlight this fact as clearly as during placements.

Also you ended last season Silver 3. Even if you climbed back to gold in pre-season, why should that be counted the same as someone who got gold in the regular season? Which by the way, you ended pre-season with a massive loss streak that brought you down to Silver 1 with Silver 2 MMR. And in some of those games, you clearly did not try to win. I mean really? 0/0/0 KDA less than 1.3K damage to champions as Tryndamere in a game that was over 40 minute long and had over 80 kills in it? And you were clearly not AFK since you had over 300 CS. You simply chose not to participate in PVP interactions.

You are your problem. Not the system. Not your teams.

I see the fanboys are out in force. Today they downvote. Tomorrow they cry of champion imbalance ;)

Ah yes, the system doing a soft reset is clear disrespect out of everyone. You do know that games where there are "seasons" do this sort of stuff all the time at the start if each season right? Hell some do a HARD reset instead so that you could have the absolute best playing against the absolute worst. Also from what I see you are a bigger part of the problem than a system being "unfair". If you don't try, then don't complain when the "system" isn't being "fair"
