Ranked Placements

Justin DiCola·Nov 16, 2015·1 votes·308 views

So I've scoured these boards for a straightforward answer about how the ranked placements are judged. I started this game 8 or so months ago and just finished playing my first 10 placement matches and was placed in Silver IV. I won only 4 out of the 10 matches, however I got 2 or 3 S ratings, several A and B ratings and a couple C ratings after the games. From what I read people are saying you are placed based on your Win Lose ratio. I don't find this to be true based on my W/L ratio compared to other articles I've read. Does your in-game performance/rating affect your placement into a league?

It's all about the MMR, which is a bit to talk about so I'll just link the support articles for you to read up on first.

Mastery has no bearing on your LP, MMR, or placement.

Thank you for your reply. Just wondering, since I didn't play my placement matches during the season, will I not get a silver border on my loading screen?

Nope, sorry. 2015 ranked rewards were locked in on Nov. 11th at 00:00 PDT. After that we entered preseason. You read some more on that here;
