BEFORE YOU POST ABOUT YOUR ADDITIONAL PLACEMENT GAME REQUIREMENT, CONSIDER THIS.
EDIT - I CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT
Truthfully, the boards are, and will be flooded for the next few hours with people complaining that they placed lower than the first round.
I understand the frustration, I have yet to play my game, but if I go from Silver 5 to Bronze again, I'm sure I would be annoyed as well.
One thing to consider, is that there was an obvious issue with Flex pick, and it needed to be corrected before the start of the new season. Some players were encountering issues like playing placements, and they would have a Gold 3 on their team, and two Plats on the enemy team. That doesn't seem balanced now, does it?
I'm honestly all for the Extra chance to help determine where I'm placed in the new season, and it's better now than during the actual season.
I honestly can't wait for all the angry people to downvote this, but its the way it needs to be, and i'm sorry to say, but if its making a system better as a result, that's what really should matter, and if you deserve to be where you were placed the first time, there should be no issues getting back there, right?
Sorry, I can tell I've come off as an asshole during this post, but honestly, we all need to be less selfish.
I'm sure we'd have a lot more to complain about when at the start of Season 7 its impossible to climb because Diamond players are getting matched with Bronze players.
P.S --
There were Pro-Players who ended in Challenger, and placed in Silver 3. I'm sure they have a little bit more to be upset about.
P.P.S -
I feel like I need to mention, I finished Silver 2 in Season 6, and I would often have a Gold or 2 on the enemy team, Another Silver, usually between 3 and 5 on my team, and the rest would be around Bronze 3 to Bronze 5.
Obvious Balance issue is Obvious.
