New placement system just Riot trying to force flamers and then perma-ban them.

This is an absolute joke, I've never been in Iron before, only gold sometimes silver. Get placed in Iron, the other players have iron banners from last season, so they're iron too.

So now I'm in games with bots giving up 20-30 kills, people playing absolute stupid picks mid and ending up with at 15mins with 50 odd cs as a mid-laner. It just tilting. Never before have qualifying/placement been this awful. It is Riot trying to deliberate hard tilt people and force them to flame/int.

Seriously...what benefit is it to Riot to perma-ban players via trickery? Will that increase sales and playrates?

These goddamn conspiracy theories need to stop. You can't control yourself. Millions upon millions of other people can. Removing you from the game is for the sake of the rest of us who know how to behave.

2 things

the system was fucked beyond believe in season 9. the average elo was ALWAYS silver (4). EVER IT NEVER CHANGED! last season it went to gold 4 at some point. if more than 70% suddenly climb 1 entire division, shit is clearly fucked up. thank god riot accepted this themselfes and didnt turn a blind eye as they always do. so yes now everyone will place at least 1 division lower. unless maybe they go 10/0 lol.
if youre really mainly a gold player, iron will be such an easy time for you lol. and im speaking from experience, im plat and i played on a silver acc before (this one actually) and even with cait jungle i went 17/2.

2.1 ITS THE START OF THE SEASON you got 1 year time to climb. its not like you start in iron and are unable to climb.

riot FOR ONCE does what a majority of the community agreed on: fix the fucking mmr system so the average elo for 70% doesnt go up by 1 division. that is not healthy.

Did you lose all your placement? I'm at 5W 4L still have one more game to play was placed Iron 1 my very first game in those 5 wins I've gain 98 LP into B4. I was Silver 3 last season and climbed out of Iron 2. Have no idea how you placed in Iron unless you lost all your games?
