i just finished my Provisionals with 4 wins out of 10. I don't feel like I did my absolute best, and I've had people yell at me pretty much all day--I even got told to uninstall. And yet, despite everything that happened...instead of getting shuffled into Bronze like I expected would happen, I'm at Silver IV. Why is this? Is the game broken?
Generally speaking, early placements don't do a fantastic job of deciding where to put you, its impossible to measure where you should be after such a small volume of games. Almost everyone goes into either Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Many new players can hit Silver or Gold by playing strong champions or having really good mechanical skills. Keep playing, if you lose a lot of games, then you probably got placed to high. If your winning, then the opposite occurred.
Riot is actually working on introducing a new division in that area so that there is a wider gap between bronze & silver.
If is first time, all new players are usually put into silver. Don't worry though if u lose enough I'll be be in bronze in no time
