okay so like, my placement matches placed me in silver 4, but every game ive played since then has been a total shit storm. ive lost all games and got demoted to silver 5. the reason for this?? the enemy team is always better. literally. im not flaming, but my team is always high bronze low silver, and the enemy team is high silver low gold. why??? is there a reason behind this?
Mysticman891 votesMatched based on MMR, not based on rank. If ranks are different, it means the higher ranked people are really bad for their rank and actually play at around the lower ranks skill level, or the lower rank players are really good for their rank and are playing at the higher ranks skill level, or some combination of the two.
If you haven't played that many ranked games (like under 100), odds are your mmr hasn't necessarily fallen/risen to your 'true' skill level, so that can complicate things if you're being based on skill you don't actually have. Similar applies to any teammates/opponents who haven't played many ranked games.
Most people new to ranked start around silver 4 ish, so theres going to be a lot of those not-enough-games-played people around. In many cases, those people are destined to fall down, rather than climb up, as all their prior experience is in normals where people aren't necessarily trying very hard to win and/or will be playing off roles/champs, so the contrast of facing 5 people on their best champs can be a sobering experience at first.
wow so gosu1 votesohh i see, this helped! thank you. i guess im destined for bronze then so i better get gud.
ModDaenrysTargaryen1 votesalso the later you start ranked in a season the higher you are placed, for me i started really early and got placed in bronze, if i started last week i would have probably been placed silver,
Takazaki1 votesIt has to do with base MMR
most new player first time in ranked will get placed silver unless you're llitterally running it down mid and even then i would believe its possible to be placed low silver.
My first run through in ranked got me placed s1
######i would like to believe im better at the game then i use to be but all i've really done is gotten a lot better at CSing and learned a shit ton about the game. i played nocturne so i didnt need to know much mechanically at the time )
wow so gosu1 votesyea i rly need to get better at csing
Kimuto1 votesA bit late to start playing ranked when the season is gonna be over in a month.
Volocaust1 voteslooking at your builds and cs you are definitely below silver level, dont build deaths dance on ashe or nashors on veigar, dont take tp on soraka
sketchy11 votespairing is based on mmr. if your getting bronze people against mid-high silver, your teammates are better then your giving them credit for
