Just Finished My Placements
Honestly, considering the multitude of complaints regarding placements at the beginning of the season, a small part of me was curious if it was really as bad as people claimed.
- I ended last Season Gold 4 (with 40 games played).
- During Pre-season, I reached Platinum 5 (110 games played).
- During my promo series into Platinum 5, I was playing with primarily Platinum 2/3 players.
After going 6/4 in my placement games, I ended up being placed into Gold 2.
I'm honestly happy with this. It gives me some room to climb and I don't have to deal with the Gold 5 tier again.
My only annoyance is that I will have to go through players in Platinum 5 again; those games were probably the most concentrated toxicity I've come across yet and the only time I ran into more than the occasional troll, rager or AFK.
If you haven't already done your placements, it really isn't that bad.
Also, as a side note for anyone who cares, I think I may actually pick up Master Yi.
I'd been avoiding him for years until a miscommunication in my first placement game resulted in one of my teammates picking him for me (he was open, another teammate told them to, they thought it was me talking).
I ended up playing him and enjoying it. Is it all a conspiracy and this is how they lure people to the dark-side?
