anyone else do good in their ranked provisionals and get bronze 5 with 0 lp? this is bull shit. been leaning off of league for a while, but the announcement of taking away SOTO and going 7-3 and getting bronze 5 is the breaking point with me. having fun with a lot of other games recently that wont put me at the lowest rank in the game, where 0-10 players are, from losing 3 out of 10 games. have a nice life league, because bellona, athena, neith, and ra will never let me down! account name "decideyouregone" wont let me post because im not level 7 or something

IDK man, I looked up that account, not sure why your MMR is so low, I'd need additional info, sry for your misfortune, if you are legit...

I voted no.

There are a lot of factors that go into the ELO system. While it's not perfect, you wont find the games being too challenging to get you properly placed. Think of ELO as a system that needs lots of data to really be calibrated. You will find on your wins you will get a lot of ELO per match. (at one point when I was incorrectly placed I was getting 30 ELO per game.)

Your win rate and performance data will normalize and the system will get you to where you need to be.

Just remain positive. From your current standings, you should rise really fast!

Good luck

No one cares about your rank unless you're challenger. Just play and if you're good you'll rise in rank. I carried from bronze 4 to silver 5 in the last couple months so I know it's possible (though it wasn't easy.)

Do people not know that placement takes into account previous seasons?

You placed B5 because of your season 4 record/rank and your record of who you lost/won games against in this season.

Its less about how many games you win than it is about who you defeat and are defeated by.

the thing is, im stuck at bronze 5 for me sucking a year ago? bull shit. i could see if i was bronze 5 for afks and shit and being a baby for being mad at that, but bronze 5 because i was bad a year ago? i dont have all day to play this game like i did a year ago. i dont have months to climb to gold becaue i have 3 months until i leave for the navy and i wont have time to play there. ive also had friends come out of ranked s4 silver 2(provisionals put in high gold s4 then didnt play ranked) and go into ranked 10/10 and get silver 2(zekeizme) from provisionals. it seems like the low ranks are good people that dont play all day and lose mmr because of it, and high ranks are people who play all day and climb because they dont have anything better to do

If your as good as you say climbing shouldn't be a problem.. That's why I hate posts like this. YOUR RANK = YOUR SKILL. If you want to climb focus on your weak points and improve.
