Can I Use OP.GG to See What Ranked Division I'll End Up in Next Season?

Title.

I want to know since I'm playing with high Bronze/middle-low Silver. Just to see what I need to learn for the ELO I might be in during S7.

DISCLAIMER: I am a total noob and I only really started playing Norms a little bit ago. Check my OP.GG if you want proof. Never touched Ranked.

I have MOBA experience tho

Are you asking if that website can tell you what rank you will be even though you have no ranked games played and it has no idea how many provisional matches you will win? The answer is no.

No for several reasons.

First, theres a soft MMR reset at the start of season, so whatever your MMR is now, it'll be different when you do your placements.

Second, OP.GG and other sites only estimate your MMR, and sometimes it's almost certainly wrong if you look at LP gains/losses sometimes.

Third, ranked MMR and normals MMR are separate, so even if you were playing with challengers in normals, you'd still have a starting ranked mmr if you've never played ranked before. That starting MMR is roughly silver 4ish.

Fourth, the outcome of your 10 placement matches is a pretty big influence on where you end up. If you go 10-0 as a first time ranked player it's possible to get placed high gold or even plat 5 (if you happened to get 'lucky' in your placements to get matched against relatively high mmr people compared to your own each time e.g. due to premades), meanwhile if you end up 0-10 you'd likely be in the bottom half of bronze.

Broadly speaking almost everyone ends up high bronze or low silver when they first start ranked though, so I'd adjust your expectations accordingly.

If that account has never played a single ranked match you will start at 1200 MMR prior to playing a single placement game. In your first 50 lifetime ranked matches you will gain bonus MMR for wins and lose more for losses. The first of those 50 games has the highest bonus factor and this decreases slowly over the next 49 lifetime ranked matches (regardless of what season these next 49 are played in). Your win order in your first 10 lifetime placements can be important for this reason as a win in the very first match means more than a win in your 10th. In general a 4-6 or 5-5 showing will place in the bottom of silver, and any less of a ratio will generally wind up in bronze. A 6-4 showing is usually mid or high silver. A 7-3 showing is usually a high silver or low gold. An 8-2 showing will ensure gold placement and the order determines gold 5, 4, or 3. A 9-1 showing will rate in high gold. A 10-0 showing will always place you in gold 1 unless you played all 10 placements as a premade with premade party members who are ranked at least mid gold, in which case it is possible to place plat 5 with a 10-0 showing based on MMR manipulation facing tougher competition than would be normal.

Your individual skill metrics will not matter at all. Your farm rate, KDA, objectives taken, wards placed or destroyed, etc will have no factor what so ever on your ranking (which is silly when you rank individuals and don't use a single individual skill metric, it is a large part of the reason why the ladder system is so terrible).

your default ranked mmr is around mid low silver.
