If you are like me and have been placed a lot lower than where you were last season, you are probably one of the people who are looking at the negative side of things. I want to state a few facts that some of you will have to deal with, but once you deal with these facts you will probably start climbing again.

  1. Its not just you. Like a million people are placed lower than where they were last season, If you cant deal with that then why are you playing a competitive game?
  2. If you are good, You will climb. Simple as that, I was placed 6 divisions lower than season 5, but already i have climbed 4 divisions and skipped 2 of those divisions. Dont let it get you down, it should just be encouragement to prove yourself again.
  3. If you arent good enough, You wont climb. This may be a good time to take a look at your play from a different perspective. This is the time to drop your ego and not be cocky thinking you deserve higher than you actually are. If you should be diamond, Prove it! Play and get better.

Think about it this way; In school if you fail a course and are held back what do you do? Sure you can just quit and drop out asap, but most likely you will man up, study more and take the course again. The same applies to league of legends, those who strive to improve and fix their mistakes on the way up will be the ones who triumph at the end of season.

Its not the end of the world. Just keep playing and you will climb to where you originally were.

My placements so far have been the most depressing thing this year. First 3 games I got my teeth kicked in hard. Game 4 had a technical problem that I've been trying to work with support to resolve Game 5 I was destroying my lane opponent and set to carry the game when I spilled a drink on my computer and my wife's computer so I had to sit in base for about 5 minutes to clean it up which let him come back. Game 6 my team refused to do anything (literally just wanted to team fight and then sit, no push) and 7 my team actually ran away from the event team all game (literally at 15 minutes I had the only kills on my team and they were all solo) game 8 was just standard having another lane feed hard.

I'm not upset, if I had results like this on the regular I wouldn't even play league. I know it gives me somewhere to climb during the season and my early season will be easy.

Best of luck all
