Hey, im xiothan. in s3 I was in bronze 5. when i won 2 out of my 20 provisionals. now in s4 i have been much better, and have won 8 out of my 10 provisionals. i worked really hard but i was still put into bronze 5. can someone explain?
I've heard this is the result of your MMR rating so regardless of how many wins in your promo if you haven't really been playing much at all you'll be placed in the same ranking from last season, I'll probably get Silver V again 2-3 atm and my last promo was 5-5
The way the provisionals this season are set up is that on average you should win 7 out of 10 of them. so if you do, you belong where you were at the end of last season or somewhere close.
so i was bronze 5 last season, started playing at the end of season 2 and started ranked in season 3. played my provisionals, needless to say i sucked. tried to carry my self out of bronze here and there. finally gave up. this season i played norms and have just started to play ranked for my prov, im currently 7 wins 0 losses. have 3 games left. so what is that gonna put me in?
I no longer am going to play league because you have made it abundantly clear that I can either play with noobs forever or just not play.
What a sad day when you go to do provisional matches to try to place yourself into a ranked community when you come to find out that you are placed with the lowest players in the game simply because you are in a provisional game. Thus causing you to most probably lose your initiation games due to the fact that you are playing with people who care very little about the game.
You literally ruin the ranked system for new players, players like myself who have played for weeks to get into the ranked community, then when they are given a chance to place themselves you put together teams that are 100% new players? Is this a joke? How are you supposed to be able to place yourself when you are put with 100% Noobies, and by noobies I mean people who are also learning their first games of ranked. How can you justify the negative experience that so many of us feel when we attempt to make a start for ourselves and you require us to play with people who have No interest in winning.
Truthfully the fact that you pair groups of people who are inexperienced together simply shows me that you have no interest in their needs, or desires, but most importantly their entertainment, because what this does it make players NOT want to play.
If your system stays the same, where the newest ranked players are stuck with one another, you will have complete tossup games where a gold player will end up in bronze and vise versa.
Your provisional ranked system is flawed and needs to be based of the particular players abilities not the "winning" or "Losing" of a match of idiots.
This is a team game, but solo que is not team oriented, so you need to make it worth while for people who are new to the ranked system, If you do not you are and will keep losing a large number of players due to their first experiences in competitive play being completely negative.
I understand the later placement, however to start people at the bottom where it is literally impossible to count on a team mate, in a Team style game is unacceptable, you should start high and fall quickly based on personal failure. IE Placing a person with good players to test how they can handle the situation, if failed lowering the player pool until you win. This is how your ranked system is designed, so why not have it this way for players who are new but still very serious about ranked, who have played several hundred games in preparation.
You can say whatever you want, but In these games it doesn't matter if you have 50 kills on one player, You still can't win. So the point is, no matter how good you are or aren't you are inherently held to the standard of OTHER players instead of one that shows your own potentials.
Being judged as a team is for Ranked Teams, it is time you got your heads out of our asses and came up with a system that places and ranks based on individual player skill, not how lucky you are to get good or at least serious team mates in a match.
