THE RANKING SYSTEM IN THIS GAME IS GARBAGE!
"There are just so many factors that go into ranking, we cannot explain them all"
ANYONE WHO SAYS THIS IS FALSE.
This game has lost ALL credibility in its ranking and let me tell you why.
I have 3 friends I play with regularly and 1 random I just played with last game. I finished Silver V, they finished Silver II Promos, Silver III Promos, and mid Silver IV (the random was unranked last season) NOW.... 2 of my friends and I finished 3-7 in PLACEMENTS this season. EXPLAIN TO ME how they are placed in Silver V and Bronze I and I AM RANKED BRONZE III? I did extremely well in all games except 1 feeding game with Tristana, and a bad game with illaoi but not that bad. ONE OF MY FRIENDS WENT 2-8 AND STILL WAS PLACED SILVER V.... IT MAKES NO SENSE! And don't forget the random person. He finished 1-9 and currently has a 6%(or something around there) ranked win ratio at 1-13 and HE WAS RANKED BRONZE I..., This is ridiculous....
For tl;dr
Friend 1: Silver I Promos last season---> 2-8 Placements (feeding every game except one) ----> Silver V Friend 2: Mid Silver II last season ----> 3-7 Placements (fed bad in each loss, and went even during wins) ---> Silver V Friend 3: Mid Silver IV last season -----> 3-7 Placements (FED SO BAD IN EVERY SINGLE GAME) ----> Bronze I Random: Unranked last season----> 1-9 Placements (HAS a 6% ranked record, fed bad in every game he's ever played) ---> Bronze I Me: Mid Silver V last season ---> 3-7 Placements (fed 2 losses, carried wins and near perfect CS, positive KDR in all games)--> Bronze III
FIX YOUR RANKING SYSTEM.... GOTDAMN!
