Ranked Distribution

ThePartyLeader··1 votes·323 views

Anyone remember why riot changed the elo/mmr for rankings above bronze? If I recall in season 2 silver elo/mmr started at like 1300-1400 and now it starts at 1200.

Silver being bumped down obviously increased number of players in all divisions above bronze.

Not that it effects me to much since I only really play my placements in ranked but just seemed odd to me that riot would devalue rewards with an increasing player base.

Silver is meant to be "average" Bronze is below average http://www.lolsummoners.com/stats/na

Silver 5 puts a player in the top 75% or so of ranked players. Silver 1 puts you in top 35% or so. Just seems like a lack luster goal for a player to receive a reward for being better than less than 25% of the ranked player base.

I could see if it was 60% you could call it average.
