New Rank system is bad

T'is the season to be ranking, new rank season rolls around and I decide to play a game so I que for solo. In champ select me and the team of randoms are joking about the new season and then the game started, I was the support and I was trying my heart out but it was still a though lane. Within the first few minutes, trynda top tilts of the face of the planet against a nasus and our mid veigar is asleep and doesn't want to work with the team at all nor does he even say anything. Naturally we lose and to my suprise Im in bronze 3, wtf one game, one bad game bronze 3 when I was silver 3 in season 8. Why, how does one game, good or bad decide how good you are. Riot please revert back to old system.

Learn to actually read the update, you're not Bronze 3, that's a provisional rank only you see until the end of your placement matches. Each win it will go up and on a loss it does not go down. You get ridiculous LP gains for wins and skip promotions. Relax and learn how to read what the update actually does

EUW is still using the old ranked system. NA will get the new system but it isn't enabled yet.

Whatever negative experience you had so far is still on the old system, keeping that system will not change your experience.

Also, the provisional rank you see is exactly the same provisional rank you would have seen last season, the only difference is that it use to be hidden and now it is now.
