SO winning 6 out of 10 and having positive games with at least 100+farm in most of the game and i still get placed in bronze 5 like I would not be mad if i at least got placed in silver but starting at the very bottom. How is anyone suppose to get better if they constantly have to start from the lowest rank on day 1 I have done this many times already and climbed out many times. Now I want to know an explanation on how does the current solo que ranks are calculated because this is getting ridiculous. i do good, i get placed in bronze 5 I mean seriously riot I have been at this since season 3 so I posted below on what I got during placements so how will that be calculated. so that I know why i got placed in bronze 5

Game 1: played as Vi as Jung, 12/12/8, 15k gold earned, 141 creep score: Loss at 42:06 Game 2: played as Miss Fortune as Bot, 11/5/5, 14.5k gold earned, 201 creep score: Win at 30:27 Game 3: played as Lux as mid, 11/5/20, 16k gold earned, 207 creep score: Win at 32:02 Game 4: played as Lux as support, 1/5/15, 10k gold earned 53 creep score: Win at 35:23 Game 5: played Morgana as support, 5/7/10, 8k gold, 32 creep score: Loss at 26:02 Game 6: played as Lux as mid, 9/5/10, 15.9k gold, 222 creep score: Win at 40:29 Game 7: played as Lux as mid, 8/3/4, 8k gold , 107 creep score: Win at 20:44 Game 8: played as Lux as mid, 7/2/9, 10 k gold. 134 creep score: Win at 24:13 game 9: played as Lux as mid,11/13/, 10k gold. 108 creep score: Loss at 32:04 Game 10: played as Lux as mid, 2/6/1, 5k gold, 86 creep score : loss at 20:23

Looks like you placed Bronze 2 last season. Seems accurate to me. Remember Challenger can only get a maximum of plat 1 rank with placements. Everyone is shifted down accordingly. Gl on the climb.

Placed Bronze 2 as in that was your finishing achievement. Where you ended the season. Climbing above that then dropping back down doesn't matter. It's all about where your elo is at when the season ends.

I was Silver 5 and got placed B5. No complaints. They explained how this shit works on more than one occasion. People drop a couple tiers on reset. There is no tier lower than Bronze so where you expect to get placed ?

Ok, what stats does the system judge then, if they explained it so clearly then why are there more than one person saying the system is busted or doing what I did and that is posting stats from the games and being wtf. I feel like it never really changed from season 3 where losses are so heavily weighed that it just nullifies the wins you got.

They have talked about how it works every season since the games existence. Also what you see here on the forums is such a small % of the actual players in this game. You could see a thousand posts about this topic and still it would be a greater minority in the whole spectrum of the games playerbase.

Bro, even if you won all 10 placements, you'd still be Bronze, possible still Bronze 5. They explained this. Challenger players could only place as high at Platinum 1, that's like what....3 tiers under ? So if the entire ladder is being shifted downward such that Challenger players could only place as high as Platinum, where does common sense tell you a Silver player would be placed ?

This has me worried about even trying to play this season i already got crapped on last season playing with my friends that was always drunk or high i was hoping to climb this season or at least not start in bronze that is not looking like the case now.

well I am trying to at least get a better understanding on how their ranking system works. I understand how overwatch's ranking works which calculates your stats and weighs in your wins at the end. Then I look at league's and I feel like wtf is causing me to not get better placement or at least start with a small deviation like it should not be weighted soo heavily on low ranked players but the higher you are the harder it judges.

I'm already expecting to end up in B5. Wish they would just put me in B5 to begin with and not put me through 10 placement games just to end up in B5 anyways.

Bronze 5 is normal for Silver and maybe Low gold...

The Lucky SlushyDec 9, 20161 votes

Can someone give me the algorithm at least instead of saying they explained it already when we all know they just said your stats are being judged as well and losses are not so heavily judged anymore. the question is which stats and how heavy do they weigh on you they shouldn't just automatically drop you a tier down for ending the season in a low spot.

(my Idea for a new ranked system if they need one) It should compare your averages to the average you got during placements based on the previous season. If a new lvl 30 player comes in on nothing to go by, it should have a set average in which the placement of division is determined by comparing the averages of the player to the set average of the division and wins determine what tier within that division they get into. There should be separate averages based on each lane/ position and compare the two highest of the spots you play to the average of those separate lanes.

I assume, and only assume, that with the new client there is a new system for ranking, and you are no longer just judged by your placements.

Maybe they include how many mastery champions you have, your win/lose ration, your KDA ratio, games played and then place you accordingly.

another thing is you may be judged by how often you won/lost your placements. like you only got a 3 win streak at most, maybe some one who won 9 games in a row and only losing the last game, could get silver or close to whatever rank they were last in. maybe.

it's a new system overall, so it's going to be awhile before we get clarity on the ranking system so far.
