Placement Matches -- Let me forfeit all

I just wanted to throw out there to Riot that placement matches are the worst experience I have ever had while playing LoL. The toxicity is unavoidable. I would like the option to just 'Accept 10 losses' for placement at the beginning of the season and then begin climbing. The placements don't actually do anything anyway, as its all just some hand-waving while the old-school MMR still dictates exactly where you get placed. I always get put in Bronze, regardless.

Please let me have the option to skip these and accept the losses.

Update: 3 wins 7 losses

8 Hours of playing. Bronze IV.

Predicted. These things are pointless. Just let me skip them.

This latest placement. I got first pick and called top. I got it. At the end of the draft two people locked mid champs and we had no jungle. I had to jungle my champ (GP) as we had no other AD. I started red. The Kassadin convinced the Ahri to help him take my blue at level 1, then died instantly mid lane. Then fed the whole game, intentionally, while telling us how amazing he was. I finished 15/7/14 the rest of my team finished 22/35/34. The Tristana DC'd for the last 5 minutes, which ended the match abruptly.

Why do I have to play these matches. Just put me in Bronze V and be done with it. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1729150893/40464010?tab=overview

How is it any different if that exact same experience happens to you in a normal game vs a placement game?

ok you are right, back to this post. NO, OP you can't have it on button push and this is why:

Choice 1: you don't play ranked, you don't get a plaque. Choice 2: You play ranked. you do placements so you can be sorted in some fashion or another. You get at least Bronze, maybe more.

It is already minimal effort (10 games which you may lose) to get bronze. While i am of the firm opinion that that's not good because i am against participation rewards, that's how it is at the moment.

To follow your wish OP, would make the bronze badge even more meaningless than it already is. I am amazed that you would want that!
