Riot fixes Matchmaking by fucking it up even more

Okay, I was Silver 1 last season, placed in S5 after placement. Riot screws up MM by putting plats down at silver elo. Then "fixes" it by making us play one more placement game. In that placement game I get an afk ADC after 10 minutes so I get dropped to BRONZE FUCKING ONE?!?!?

Fuck you rito, if you were going to put all of gold and below into bronze, plats into silver, diamond through challenger into gold and plat, WHY DIDN'T you just be honest and SAY SO?!?!?

How can I get back all the money I spent on this crap game?

I'm saying, that if this is how Rito is going to fuck up their game, since I had already placed in Silver 5 for preseason, then get dumped into elo hell by this "fix" they can expect ranked flex to be empty again because no solo players are going to go into it, all they're going to have is groups of 3's sitting in an endless queue because solos and duos will stay in solo queue where at least we know we aren't getting screwed on purpose

Preseason, doesn't matter.
You belong in bronze. Sorry that you feel you do not, but remember that it's an arbitrary rank at this point anyway.

It's like saying in an MMO, "Wtf, last expansion I did 20 dps, this one I do 300 dps, why would I play an old expansion." Well yes, the number is higher (gold > silver), but if everyone is lower rank, then you're where you belong. You're probably still in the same % of players you were last time.

I was g1. I got to b1, then after placement got to s3. I also have afks and trolls half the game, but it's like that at the beginning and end of every season. It'll be fine.

If you're like me and you only play this game because of your friends, then I feel bad for you. If not, then just take a break until mid time next season and win easily.

You'll never get your original rank in placements. You'll always be way lower then you once were, as they're soft resets. Just the way the world works, this'll happen to Soloq too :c

Because of the MMR mismatch in Flex Queue, you got reset to the original starting point (pre placements). But remember this is only Preseason, the rank you accomplish now WILL BE RESET AGAIN! The rank you get in preseason does only influnece the placement in Season 7 to a SMALL extend! (only your starting point in season 7 is affected by Preseason ranks) Sidenote: 1-2 Tier drops are completely normal in preseason.

I.E.: You were Plat 5 at the end of the season, were placed high Silver after placements, now got placed low Silver. If you now climb to Plat again, you will then only be placed in low Gold at the start of Season 7!

So dont worry to much about the current placement!
