God LoL placement / ranked / badges / whatever is so fucking awkward lmao

Friend of mine is diamond (afaik like 5.5kish) and placed silver (like 2.5kish?) But the games they're playing and were playing are like 4.5k level. Had a similar experience when I bothered to play ranked where I was playing games in gold/plat from silver long before it actually promoted me.

Is awkward and I dont get how the fuck it works lol

Could it be just be a calibration issue or the old placement still in factor to ranked matchmaking ?

Sometimes dota matchmaking can fuck up when the playerpool quieing is just super minimal

Seems so fucking stupid to have your represented mmr completely diff than your actual matchmaking mmr. Sense of progress i guess but I feel like sc2/rocket league / dota have much more sensible ranked indicators.

I'm slowly but surely improving at making viennoiserie dough, so not too bad.

Decent overall. Put a ton of work into actually building and maintaining a relationship I want to be in which is super good, but also my best friend separated from his wife, tried to kill himself, and has since moved to a different province. So a mixed, eventful bag.

A buddy came over yesterday to hang out, and I showed him a bunch of weeb shit. Basically:

1. He understands Hyperdimension Neptunia because it's got bright colours and is a completely brainless experience.
2. He thinks Sara is best girl from Trails of Cold Steel (which as we know, is correct)
3. He feels that Trails in the Sky has better atmosphere than Cold Steel (which again, is correct)
4. He very easily saw the appeal of Azur Lane: cute girls and warships

Basically I'm extremely happy to have him in my life.

Also 2019 sucked because my living conditions didn't go as planned, but I guess that's life.

2019 was a solid 2.5/10
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!
