WTF RIOT

WTF RIOT. I know that resetting the ranked system helps good players in elo hell, and it probably worked for a lot of people, but its pretty mean. I have been stuck in bronze for a year now, and just about 2 weeks ago things started to get better. I focused more, studied champion guides, learned all roles, and I climbed my way to bronze 1. I know that doesn't sound like much, but I've never been this far in my life. Then the very DAY after, ranked gets reset. I was pretty excited, and I saw it as an opportunity to get to silver/gold. The first game, lost. Second, lost. Third I had one, but fourth, lost. I was feeling down because I wasn't sure if my enemy's were pros, my teammates were bad, or if I was bad myself. I started going on tilt, and getting frustrated, losing a few more games, until I was 4-9 games won. I was playing my last match thinking, if I win, I could get to silver :D. I ended up losing silver, but even worse, I was put into bronze IV. That made me pissed. This is meant to be a complaint because I had worked so hard to get to even BRONZE 1 and I get moved to bronze 4. Why me god. Why me.

I've been there man, and bronze climbing sucks there's no sugarcoating it. My best suggestion is to duo que with someone not too much higher than you that you trust and run duo bot lane or top/mid and jungle. Most importantly I will say never, never keep play during a losing streak or when you're just having a bad time, it will never end well. Your best case scenario is you win and you feel a little less stressed, or you lose and you spiral even farther. I've been there too. It sucks but it's easy to avoid.

Best of luck to you good sir.

Is it just me or does this Ninja Vinny guy remind anyone of all the toxic players in provisionals?

It's a reset. You're supposed to drop. Everyone here complaining about their placement are just being childish. Pros got dropped into gold and such. It's supposed to make you have to earn it again.

Riot thinks we are stupid. They purposely put us in a lower league to make us play more games. I was Gold 2 before the reset of ranked. I won 7 games in my placement and they put me in silver 2. This is so frustrating. I desinstalled the game and you guys should do the same.

BTW you kinda deserved this because you apparently don't know math because you put 4/9 when there's only 10 games you can play
