I don't understand why some of yall are sooo fixated on your rank. Like if you are in silver the game becomes more fun? And gold is even more fun? Then Plat+ to diamond must be lol heaven? Where everyone has perfect Kda every game?... No, lemme give you "A for effort" generational kids a reality check. The skill gaps for each tier is painfully noticeable. Trust me if your in bronze/silv-gold or w.E you are placed in is because you are where u belong.

Like the great rockie said. You ain't where you are because of this guy or that guy. Cowards blame others. Can you imagine in a pro interview of any sport where they said the only reason they lost was because of someone else? Learn to be humble or the cold reality of life will.

In bronze to gold 1+ ppl make mistakes back and forth, when you get higher elo you get absolutely dumpstered for the tiniest mechanical / positional error. I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar all you "bronze" but secretly Plat can't even perfectly cs the first 3 creep waves in the game. Please do yourself and everyone else a favor. Be real. The only goal every person in solo q should be to get better. Not a stupid border and random numbers that say you are. /rant

I don't mean to be rude, but this post is just petty and meaningless.

People are whining because it is a shock to drop so far in rank without understanding the reason. Not everyone who plays ranked reviews Riot's news pages often enough to see the VERY BRIEF mention of the fact that they were doing a soft reset.

It's a big achievement to rise in rank. It makes you feel good. I was really proud when I hit plat after two seasons of work, it was awesome. It felt really good.

Now I haven't done my placements, and I probably never will(since I don't play anymore), but I imagine if I didn't know about the soft reset and I went like 6-4 or 7-3 and ended up in silver or lower, I'd be really upset over it because it'd make it feel like all that hard work was gone. It'd be a shock, and it'd suck.

The whining is completely reasonable, in this case, since Riot didn't properly publicize the soft reset or explain the exact details of what it was likely to mean for people.

I agree the whining is reasonable but not justified

No, it is absolutely justified. Because they lost rank through no fault of their own WITHOUT being advised clearly why.

Riot should've had a big warning on the client that said 'Soft Reset will be implemented along with Season 5, click here for more details' that went into exact details of what that means AND how far people were likely to go down in ranked(in general terms, obviously).

The reason people are whining is not that they're feeling held back, it's because they feel as though Riot INTENTIONALLY pushed them back, which - essentially - is what they did. They'd reached a certain rank, earned it... and now Riot has, without properly explaining ahed of time, forced them down to where they just worked from.

It's perfectly justified, just because Riot didn't properly publicize OR explain the whole thing.

I believe all this information was available on the starting screen when u load lol? Correct me if I'm wrong. It was available... ppl jus didn't care to read.

It's like being shocked that murder was against the law. And you should be pardoned cuz you didn't bother to read the law. It's an extreme example but the main point is... I belI've everything was available and none of this came to a surprise to me... Cuz you kno.. I read shit

No, it's not the same. One is a basic tenet of a legal code. The other was an obscure detail that was posted in a single forum post that wasn't even front page material.

The info WAS available, but it wasn't publicized very well, from what I've heard and seen.

A better analogy would be if they suddenly changed the legal code and made it a crime to give people the finger, but didn't tell anyone.

I jungle so I can certainly say I can perfectly cs the first 3 waves of creeps, or should I say camps? xD.

Now speaking honestly, the placement is quite unfair, you have lots of people that want bronze for their youtube channels, lots of people with several games already and with bad ratio, and several try hards that ragequit after 5 min of game. The placements is where all of this are more active since they believe this will be the year. Just because you are placed on bronze doesn't mean you belong to bronze you can climb up if you really doesn't belong there. I have been placed on bronze 4 for the past 2 seasons, i have climbed all the way up to silver 1, I never make it to gold but is mostly because my reflexes are quite bad (can't dodge something when it already hit you when you saw it). I miss around 3-4 cs on the first 3 waves which isn't perfect but since I'm not aiming to professional it should be enough.

My post was not meant to be rude or condescend anyone. It's just I'm normally a forum purker but the recent threads on the soft reset just made me want to say wat was on my mind. Take what I say with a grain of salt.

I'm just trying to help ppl to get in the mindset of improving. Rather than find excuses on why they aren't where they should be. Yes there's smurf. Yes there's trolls. But you're delusional if you think it's only you. And more delusional if you think they are the reason you're held back.

I agree with you. The ranks are there for a reason. If you're Bronze, it's because you're supposed to be. And even IF it was a mistake, you should be able to make it out easily.
