How does Season 6 ranking system work?

Ascended Daxx·1/22/2016, 4:14:48 AM·3 votes·21,883 views

My friend was Silver 3, went 3 and 7 in 2016 ranked placement matches and got Bronze 2. I was silver 5, went 6 and 4 in the placement and got Bronze 4... WAIT WTF? BRONZE 4!? I really want to know how the ranking system works because my new found rank has destroyed my interest in the game. How does he lose 7 and get Bronze 2, then I win 6 and get Bronze 4. Good shit riot. Good... Fucking... Shit...

I would think that would be reversed 0.o

Putting the number of games you won and lost a side he was still higher rank than you before you both started. The reset is considered a soft one that is the reason why he wasn't as effective as hard for losing but as everyone else is posting your rink will suffer

I need to know how elo is working this season too. Friend was plat 5 at end of season 5. Won 7 out of 10 games and is now silver 2. Negative 470 elo for winning 7 games. Doesnt make sense. If he is silver 2 then i'll be bronze 5 for life

So I was just playing ranked with 100 LP, first game of my provisional. So I lost and at the end of the game I have 82LP... So I was under the assumption that if you lost one game out of your three you still had a chance to win the other two before being docked LP... Is this different is season six? Someone please explain!

I ended 2015 Silver 5 with 80 ish LP. I went 9-1 in provisionals and they placed me in bronze 2. My friend who I duoed with ended the season silver 2, also went 9-1 in provisionals and got placed bronze 1. I don't understand what the **** riot was thinking with this new ranked system but I'm super salty. We grinded 8 hours of ELO for bronze 1 and 2. After out performing everyone on our team 9 out of 10 games, and having one game where our support didn't even know how to not auto minions or buy a sight stone, and our Darius let Nasus get free farm. We got punished that brutally for one loss. That's ****** Riot.

A support auto-ing minions for the ADC to farm is a pro level power play advantage. You should really (like, REALLY) consider practicing that because if you do it perfectly, you can achieve leveling plateaus faster for a better timed gank. The new ranking system has something to do with your post-game grading scale--not just your KDA or W:L ratio because in the end, that's just obsurd. Yes, your ranking takes into account those factors but the biggest impact is your grading. If you lose a match and get a 2:1 KDA average ratio with an "A" grade or higher, that match value awards you more points than if you won a match with a 4:1 KDA and a "B" grade. Also, your gameplay mechanics and your TEAM MECHANICS GREATLY AFFECT THIS POINT SYSTEM. Please be aware of that because you can carry all you want--if you don't exercise proper game and team mechanics, RIOT would most likely give you a lower score than one who has a 1:3 KDA and losing match score and an "A" grade. League of Legends was designed with TEAM effort to accomplish ONE and ONLY ONE goal in mind: Destroy the enemy Nexus. There are reasons why each tower, dragon, baron, jungle, lane, inhibitor, and ward objectives are assigned point values, especially when you get to Gold rank and higher.

Today I played my tenth ranked game on this account, won 3 of the 10. I was placed in Silver 5, the highest of my friends original placements. When we won I played well, normally with a positive scores as support, with normally a decent amount of participation, but one of my games I went 1/0/3 as blitz sup(earns an a- incase you're interested). Most of my placement games were with silver players, but still with a 30% winrate I don't understand why I wasn't placed in bronze 5 or at least bronze 3. Hope someone can explain the system and maybe someone will fix the system as I know that with my early on performance I don't deserve to not be in the worst division

I get bronze 2 in season five early, then I played in other regions in the summer and really improved a lot (play lol for the whole summer in using my friends account at silver 2). When I get back to do placement in season six, I won 4 out of 10 and got bronze 5. Then I uninstall this game without hesitate XD.
