So, Last season I was atrocious at this game, I did my placements and went 0-10, horrid I know. This season I have improved vastly, I no longer int all my games. last season I was placed bronze 3 with 0-10. This season, I went, (I just finished) 6-4, a step up from last season and placed bronze 5, (my end rank from last season) I have gotten better at macro, and micro, improved my champion pool vastly from where it was previously. I even played support when I was assigned midline and got an S, This might sound like the classic bronze rant about "why am I in this elo I'm so good!" but I'm not, I still have a lot of room to improve. I just wanted to ask a question, why do you get placed where you ended last season (unless you were above plat). It almost makes me want to make a new account for ranked, I don't really have enough time to climb out of b5 TLDR: Salty bronze monkey complains about placements.**[zombie-nunu-bummed] **

If i were in bronze 5 I would probably win 75%. Much faster than making a new account. if you are not winning like crazy in bronze 5 , you may be overestimating your ability

in your last 19 non-remake games, you won 10, lost 9. You probably could go to bronze 3, but you are not likely ready to leave bronze.

I'll leave a comment, maybe it will make you feel better.

I ended last season in Plat 3. I did bad in promos, like 3-7. I got placed in Silver 1. I had to climb back up to Plat, took like 3 weeks. ;-; Don't feel too bad.

Placements really don't matter in lower MMR/ELOs if you were in bronze-lower gold youll be put in Bronze no matter what. Even in Flex Queue that didn't exist last year use the same MMR as solo Q. I went 9-1 in my flex placements, the match ups in all but 2 games were a joke, some of the easiest matches ive ever played(I suck and I could tell I shouldn't be playing with these teams). Where'd did I place you ask? easy guess there bronze 5. [zombie-brand-clap]
