This year something has just seemed off. It seems riot has been extremely hard on people and has shown no mercy. I ended last season in plat 5 during the preseason and went 10-0 and I got placed in gold 1. This seems really weird to me. Is riot trying to pull a csgo?
Seems like it. From what I've heard from my friends, there are some people who were Plat last season that got put into Silver.
I myself was Silver last season (I only played the placement games) and even though I went 8-2 I got Bronze 1. The worst part about it is that since I'm Bronze 1 I still get queued up with Silvers anyways.
If you really care about ranked I guess you're just going to have to deal with the climb again.
It's like this for most people every season. 9/10 people WILL be placed lower than they previously were. It's a soft reset, but still a reset. Also, if you played during preseason, that performance also counts towards your new placement in addition to where you finished at the end of the official season.
consider yourself lucky...
I was plat V, went 9-1 and ended up gold 4...now i'm back in gold 3 and stuck with people that give up 15 kills in 15 minutes.
