Season 5 "Soft Reset" Completely Destroyed Ranked Balance
This Season is terrible. It nerfed Season 4 Silver AND Gold, regardless of what their placements were, into Bronze 3... and now Bronze has become ELO Hell once again filled with (formally) Gold/Silver vs teams of Bronze and the sort.
It is (almost) impossible to carry out of Bronze now unless your Diamond+. Now that everyone's MMR is basically the same you are far more likely to have the enemy team have more power then you. Unless you have an equal match (which never happens) your team just gets wiped over and over. And if you main support like I do.... LOL the times go by fast sometimes.
Don't tell me "just carry yourself out of Bronze": This is no longer possible. The MMR system is completely broken.
I was Silver all last season (formally from EUW). When I transferred I was placed in Bronze 2 but carried myself easily into Silver V right before S5 start. 70%+ win rate. Now with this season, I went 5/5, got B3, and falling with massively lower win rate. This isn't because I "suddenly got worse". This is because this season is messed up.
Now my MMR is ruined... I lose more LP then I gain... and it will take me 50+ matches to get back into Silver IV range where I was last season.
Hopefully RIOT games is happy with this messed up game because they completely destroyed my game experience. Why did I even try to climb/"fix" my MMR during the preseason... only to have it nerfed into oblivion in 10 placement matches?...
Alas IDK what to do anymore. This game just turned into /retard mode in January for no reason...
Thanks for nuking the game RIOT!
