RANK RESET - Really Riot.... REALLY?!

Arkhive·11/15/2016, 2:19:14 PM·4 votes·1,560 views

So I log onto league of legends this morning, wanting to climb the ranked ladder some more. Mind you, I played A LOT of ranked last week trying to get as high as I could since I had a few days off.

I did my placements and got Silver 2. I wasn't too happy about that but whatever I kept playing. After 3 days of playing constantly I got myself into Gold 3 and I was really happy about it !

Come today... I log in and start a ranked game. We end up remaking because of an AFK and then....

"You have been placed in Silver 2"

At first I didn't understand and I even took a screenshot in case it was a bug. I go back to the homepage and read the announcements at the top left.

"We rolled out a fix for matchmaking issues in ranked. You will need to play one additional game to determine your new ranking"

Oh good, perfect ! My "NEW" and "IMPROVED" ranking is exactly the same as it was when I got placed the first time. I get to lose 5 RANKS for FREE mind you. What a great way to start my day !

More than half my games were played against Diamonds players and I still won. You better fix this riot... I worked my ass off to get up to GOLD 3.

I didn't ask for this "FIX" of yours I was perfectly content climbing back up to Plat. The least you could do is give me some compensation for this...

How many games did you win/lose? Its pretty common to drop ranks when placements happen. If you deserve Gold and really have faced diamond players, climbing should take you a day or two to get back up.

Cheers!

More than half my games were played against dynamic queue boosted animals of season 6 so of course I won.

Fixed that for you.

I'm sorry to say, but this wasn't just aimed at you. There were players whom, during placements / Season 6 finished in between bronze 3 and silver 3, and got matched with Diamond players.

The system was completely busted, and needed a fix. If this is how Riot balances the new system, and makes it more stable for the future, I am fine with losing a few ranks.

I may have come off as an ass, but truthfully, this is to improve matchmaking for the greater majority of players, it might not be the popular choice, but I'm pretty sure it'd be worse when Season 7 kicks off and your playing your real placements against Diamond players, No?
