The Nerve of Riot

I'm gonna start out this little discussion by saying, I am dissapointed. The 2014 ranked season rolls around, and im sitting down in the hell hole that we all know as Bronze 5. Something goes off in my mind, I say "I AM DONE WITH THIS DIVISION". I couldn't take it anymore, the constant whining over taken roles, the lack of map awareness, and the complete disregard for objectives (as well as winions taking your nexus). I buckled down, started busting my ass to get the f**k out of Bronze. The struggle was real. But at long last I made it out of Bronze and into Silver 5 in the last 10-15 minutes of the ranked season remaining. I made it. I repeat, i fucking made it! Now, through the preseason the thought in my head has been "Well Riot looks at your past history as well as your 10 provisional games, so they should know my struggle, and my overall perseverance over the Bronze division. They should know that I conquered Bronze." Well... Its a new season now. I spent my time completing those 10 nail biting games to requalify... And riot some how ascertains that I go straight back to Bronze 4..... You... Assholes. What about my 10 qualifying games where i went negative 1 time, even with 2 games as supp brought that decision about? Cus it sure as hell doesn't make sense to me... Iv only seen one person qualify to Silver, why? And why, after being reassured (by Riot) that your past games matter, am I back in Bronze 4? Has this been anyone else's experience thus far? Cus if so, I want answers.

I'm too new to try for a ranking at this time, but reading the boards here it sounds like many people are seeing their placement be several levels lower than it was. I'm not sure if Riot decided to reduce the size of the diamond and platinum divisions and therefore push others down or if its just strange placement.

Hope you can climb back out.

You should not of done placements so quickly. With lots of trolls/lower player right now, it effect your starting place hard.

I was in Gold V with 68 LP last season (right when S5 was about to begin)... did my 10 matches two days ago and got 5/10.... I was moved back to Silver III... that's a big' gap, especially when I only got half of it right.
