It seems an astounding number of people just refuse to read updates. So to clarify: Your first placement game will decide the worst possible rank you could get after your 8 placements. So it can and likely will go up from there during that time, especially because you can't lose LP during those matches.
More importantly, you gain boosted LP during your placements, and can't lose any. So you should try even harder than usual, not refrain from trying.
though note, as some people are morons and are throwing games because "I cant lose LP lol" that each subsequent game especially if you lose is giving you less LP. So while your LP cant go down, your potential earnings can go down significantly.
TL:DR, try you idiots.

I think it's more stupid that people play for the score board than to win.
I had that in all my games yesterday, unless the win was free the team simply refused to work for it and instead just play for kills.
My first match put me B3 because of that. I don't play for the score board or kills, and since everyone would ks me (at one point I had the most assists in the game) and stealing my jungle creeps, I didn't have gold to do anything, and since I was playing Evelynn, that counted as me doing poorly.
Heck, in one game, they even told Pyke to stop using his kit because they don't care about the gold, they want kills.
I got iron 4 on all 5 roles, winner winner
yea instead of etting silver 5 like i normally would
i got bronze 5 and now im having to fight through some serious bullshit to win
Won 6 of 8. Placed Bronze 4.
Thanks Riot for 6 years of your fucking bullshit ranking system. Btw - still sucks dick despite adding role ranks.
Excuse me while I go fucking kill myself.
Side note: Run it down and you get a better Placement then anyone else.
lv 103 goes 5/13 lv 109 goes 4/11 lv 112 goes 8/17
You know its lost when your top, jungler and mid intentionally run it down their lanes and blame your Lane (Bot) for not helping while in the mean time your Adc is 9/0 and you are 3/0. I got Iron 3 after that, the feeders Iron 2 .. so is this system telling me to intentional run it down every Match?
Game demotes you an entire tier. Then it allows you to move up 1-3 divisions, but also insists you "Can't lose ip" during your promos

Riot is a one-hit wonder company that copied an already existing (for many years (decade)) and they created it at the right point in time, they werent the first attempt at aMOBA, but they were in that first wave. They aren't special superhero people like the CEO mike from oldschool blizzard (before they soldout to trash acitivison and fired off it's diablo 1/2 starcraft 1 crew etc etc etc blahblah w/e) So you can't expect them to actually know how to run the game. 10 years in existence, 20billion dollar company, and riot still hasn't put out any other game than League of Lebadgends.
What makes more sense to you guys: Being placed in bronze after playing 1 "promos" and having to play 500 games to get out of bronze/silver (because your team is casual players who only play aram and the occasional ranked, no draft lmfao true story) OR Being placed Gold/platinum, losing 20-50 games, and being bronze/silver.
riot doesn't get it and hopefuly it will come to bite them in the butt here soon I give this game another 5 years. ALLS IT WOULD TAKE for LoL to die is for another company to put out a MOBA similar to it, with the outplay dodging and style of play, but put out nonfurry champions, and to put out bad@zz yugioh/demon/attackontitan anime freak champions, and to just do it a little better and care a little more. Honestly if I had a few million dollars I know I could run riot out of business, anyone could, idk why it hasn't happened yet.
Well I've lost all 3 of my placement games so far so it's not looking great LUL.
So i won my first placement match and it gave me bronze 3. Well i won ALL of my placement matches except one and ended up at Bronze 1. Yea, that makes alot of sense. Before, that would have gotten me to Gold, or at least close to it.
I got filled on my first placement game and did atrocious...then won the next 4 by carrying cause I didn't get filled....
How is this supposed to be fair again?
this game is rigged, @riot I want another placement where I'm nto filled to count as my first, this is BS.
Rank is and always has been, a test of a person's ability to suffer trauma and keep coming back. Like a rat in a lab trying to push a lever to get a reward of cheese, but the lever is made increasingly harder to push, or there are consequences for pushing the lever. The rat keeps trying. I learned within my first two weeks of playing ranked in season 3, the system is not an accurate representation of your skill. It simply isn't. It's hard wired to try to keep you in a 50/50 win ratio and you have to fight the system. It's not a reflection of your actual skill.
I despise Riot for this.
I mean was the ranked system that bad that it needed this big of a rework?
Honestly, what is the point of it? Couldn't it just tell us instead of falsely putting us there if it did FALSELY put us there? Also, nobody checks the website 24/7.
What I don't understand is do you get like a different rank based on what roles you play?
For example, I'm projected Bronze 1 for mid and Silver 3 for support.
Do I just have 2 different ranks? Or is my lowest possible rank overall Bronze 1?
Placements dont even matter. read below for why. you can know your rank without even doing them.
This has been how it is for years. The only difference is now everyone can see what they have been doing for placements. i played 1 placement a month back when they introduced it and got silver 3 on a horrible loss. I was placed exactly 4 tiers lower then what i ended with last month. After 1 game a win i am now at bronze 3. Exactly 4 tiers lower then what it said i was a month ago. You know whats funny enough? You can only possibly go up 4 tiers during placements. After my second win. both games S or above so its not like i played bad im now bronze 3 with 48lp. whats this mean? I was placed to where i could get even to where i was before or lower then but not ahead. If they are going to do this kind of system it would make sense to start where you ended last season. Not just place people so they can only climb to even or less then what they had last season in placements. After talking to about 10 other people at all levels its the exact same thing. except above diamond.
Something seems wrong though.
I'm supposed to get boosted LP?
I got 60 LP when I won my first placement and got silver 3 (after being gold 4 in flex last season). My next 3 wins (despite getting S ranks in all 3 of those games) have given me 39, 33, and 35 LP. Something seems very wrong with that, that's barely 50% more than I normally get at the start of the season (25-26 per win). The only benefit is to avoid promo series, but at the current rate if I have 2 games left and if I don't win both I might only end up silver 2 99LP - only avoiding 1 promo series with placement wins despite going 5-5 (currently 4-4).
I can only imagine that losing games 2-5 screwed my LP gains in games 6-8, but that's absurdly unfair. Getting absolute garbage teams for 4 games in a row that can't listen to pings and avoid feeding snowball assassins early (5 tbh, game 1 my bot Lane fed their Kai'sa ADC 16 kills but we managed to carry them) basically means not only do I not get that potential 200-240 LP but also I only get about 100LP for the next 3 wins instead of close to 200. That's a 300LP deficit (or 3 divisions, one of which is going up a tier) because of 4 games.
So REALLY not a fan of the new system. If my gains stayed around 50-60 per win and I was at Silver 1 0-40 LP right now it would still stuck (losing potential division skips because of a few games with bad luck) but at least be understandable. A few losses making your climb 2-4 divisions (and promo series) longer despite coming back with the same number of wins is absurd though.
Just glad I did flex first and not solo queue. Dropping from plat 4 to silver 1 likely, would have been devastating. Hope they fix this garbage before I do those placements.
Played Neeko first game carried the game was 15/4/9 With S- and got placed in iron IV
