I dont understand how this ranking system is supposed to be accurate

So i completely BOMBED my placements and went 3/10. Whatever, it happens. Placed silver II. I figured "eh i can easily climb out of silver", come to find that EVERYONE I'm playing against was low plat or high gold last season. How are you supposed to climb ranks if you're actually going against decent players? This is infuriating

If its to much wait a month for all the higher elo people to climb back to their spots.

The beginnings of seasons can be rough.

There is some useful information about placements and a link to some early season advice contained in this thread:

Best of luck on the Rift mate!

It seems like most people were placed lower than they belong, I think given a week or two majority of the players will have moved closer to where they belong

it can never be accurate for several reasons.

  1. everyone is always at the mercy of their team.

  2. it takes a ton, and i mean a ton of games to get an accurate reading of where you belong

  3. people constantly improve with experience.

  4. promotional matches gimp the LP system

  5. MMR is always different so games are never truly balanced.

  6. you dont always get your prefered and best role.

Just wait a few weeks before playing ranked.
