Ranked Questions

I've been playing the game for a long time, so I'm not new to the game. But I am new to ranked. I need someone to explain these things Am I only placed with people in my League? For example, if I am Taric's Enforcers, in solo queue ranked, will I only find those people?

When will I get the banner? For example, if I was placed in Gold, when will I get the gold banner around my name in the loading screen?

When the ranked system resets later this month, is everyone changed to unranked and have to work their way back up?

Is it pointless to play ranked games at this time? Should I wait until after ranked gets "reset"?

No, you don't only get matched up with people who are Taric's Enforcers. You can be matched with anyone around your MMR and division. (A silver III would be matched with other silvers around their MMR.

You get banners as an end of season reward. You can't get them if you started ranked after the end of season 4, you will have to wait another year to get them.

Yes, everyone's rank disappears but their next provisional matches are still influenced by their hidden MMR. (If you were a silver 3 during preseason you will most likely end up somewhere around that division by the end of your next provs.)

In my opinion you shouldn't play ranked during preseason unless you can muster some really stupid scenarios that involve idiots on your team not caring about matches because it's just preseason and everything will get reset except for your MMR. (Long sentence, whew.)

Correct me on any of these statements if I'm wrong.
