So I guess riot really doesnt want people to play their game.

So i have a question anybody who has an answer, How the hell can someone go 6-4 in their placements POSITIVE IN ALL OF THEM MIND YOU (almost) And still get placed in bronze? Do you just want to discourage people in ranked?

Game scores of the last like 7: 19/10/6 9/9/9 19/10/12 8/10/11 10/6/5 12/12/21 16/10/17

There are so many variables that play into your placement once those first 10 games are completed. Your previous end of season rank, the ranks of your teammates, the ranks of your opponents, the way you played in each of the games, whether you solo or duo queue. At the end of the day, you are placed roughly where the system thinks you belong. Being placed Bronze does not mean anything other than you've only played ten games & have plenty of space to grow. If you do not belong there, you'll rise out of it quickly. If you do belong there, the system did its job.

Don't look at is as a discouraging placement, use it as a sign to grow if you are not happy with being there.

Edit since you added your scores: You die A LOT! Dying that much in a game is usually a sign of playing at the level of a lower elo (not always but usually), because you are not positioning properly in fights & making questionable decisions regarding when to fight or back off.

Well, score has 0 impact on it, just win/loss.

Is this your first placement series? If so, how did you do your first couple of games? The first couple games have a bigger impact. If you lost them, that is probably why you got bronze. If you played last year, then riot dropped most people. I was gold last season, went 6-4 and got dropped to silver 3. They balance this out, however, by making your MMR high. This will enable you to climb faster. I was even able to skip silver 2 and go right to silver 1 where I am now. Not sure why they do this, but oh well. Just gotta play a couple weeks to get back into gold. If you are new, just play well. With playing well, you will start to get lucky some games with good teammates and get out of bronze.
