Extra Placement Game

Hey Riot. Just wanted to say thanks for completely cuckin' me on this extra placement game. I thought the point of this was to help people who accidentally got ranked lower than necessary?

Anyways... After finishing my initial placements I got placed in Bronze 1, this seems fair given that I ended in Gold 5. Not upset about that at all. However, I was one win away from my Silver promos when you enacted this extra placement game garbage. Well, I won. "Congratulations you have been placed in Bronze 1".

What kind of logic is that, Riot?

Sincerely, Goat Blanket

Because of the MMR mismatch in Flex Queue, you got reset to the original starting point (pre placements). But remember this is only Preseason, the rank you accomplish now WILL BE RESET AGAIN! The rank you get in preseason does only influnece the placement in Season 7 to a SMALL extend! (only your starting point in season 7 is affected by Preseason ranks) Sidenote: 1-2 Tier drops are completely normal in preseason.

I.E.: You were Plat 5 at the end of the season, were placed high Silver after placements, now got placed low Silver. If you now climb to Plat again, you will then only be placed in low Gold at the start of Season 7!

So dont worry to much about the current placement!

the 1 "extra" placement game just triggers a visual update! It does not really influnece your rank! You were already reset back, but the visuals needed to be updated by a game. Now the matches should be way better balanced, it still sucks tho :/
