Yesterday when i played my first ranked game ever i was put in with gold and silvers ( my skill level is around bronze V ) and i lost, the next game it happened again but i got carried for the win, why does this happen?

For your placements, you play against people ranging from bronze-gold. It is to determine your skill level. if you beat all the games against bronze people, you'll get placed in silver. if you beat all the gold people, you can get placed into gold. They give you an array of ranks to play against, to see who you're beating consistently, and who you might be losing to consistently.

  • Starting point for Ranked is ~Silver V.
  • Due to how hard it is to get demoted, current league standings don't always reflect MMR. A Gold V player could easily be Silver IV MMR.

If you're actually Bronze V level skill-wise, I'd suggest spending more time in normals.
