Could we get details of this "soft reset" of Ranking or does RIot have no clue what is happening?

Hello,

I am giving Riot feedback and question: Can game developers give us details how this soft reset works, and how the new MMR is calculated? I fear you cannot do that and the system is totally random, and thus based on nothing but cargo-cult mathematics applied without any understanding.

It appears that the "soft reset" is actually hard reset tossing almost everyone at least one division downward regardless the outcome of qualifier games. I thus make one question: why do you have those qualifiers, if they have no effect? And another question: which MMR new people at level 30 is put? I would not call that soft reset but forced downgrading of skill without any basis to encourage competition and forcing people to play with players who are less skilled they are.

Dear Riot, such move would only create MORE frustration among players, and make us wonder your motivation to do so. Could you explain why you took this policy? And I want the real reasons not the PR bullshit you have spewed. If the movement is arbitrary, it will break MMR system down like assuming 4 vs 5 is as hard as 5 vs 5. I have asked every season the question why you make such blatantly false assumption that 4 vs 5 is as hard as 5 vs 5, and only answer is "it may be abused" without giving any details how it would be abused and how likely.
