Maybe they're players in their way to demotion, though, most games have been stomps (apart from the promotion series, come to think of it... ). Edit: oh wait no, it's actually Silver 2. As in "you got promoted to Silver II!". I'm blaming the font. And I'm probably where I belong for now, I'll see if I manage to climb up to Silver I. | ||

It easily leads to situations where you have a positive win rate but are actually losing league points, which is fairly counterintuitive. Not in the long run, if your MMR is high enough you'll gain +30 points per win, which means you have to go 2-2 in order to not advance, which is not a positive win rate at all And this system kind of mirrors tournaments too, if you go 3-0 in group stages then drop out of the next round 1-2 then no one really cares you had a positive record that day, you still lost | ||

When someone gets into silver III and gets +10 for a win and -30 for a loss their first reaction is "this system is broken" when it should be "i don't deserve to be in silver III" Yeah, that's a huge part of it. Someone earlier was saying Riot overvalued a variable in their equation placing people higher than they should be. Once it all balances out we should have less examples of this happening. | ||

Maybe everybody was placed higher than they should be except for me, that would obviously explain everything /trollface.jpg | ||

And na, pretty bad, the kind that exploits his lane opponent's ignorance instead of playing plain better himself.Fun fact: the first EUW guy into challenger plays mainly Varus (158 games, 42% of his total), Draven and... Viktor. It's his third at 35 behind Draven at 71 and before Vayne at 22 and Sivir at 18, but I don't care, still counts! | ||

Average skill rate of my opponents has definitely dropped.

But honestly, i got placed lower imo, i know i tanked the placement games thanks to trolls and 4 afkers (4 fuckin games of afkers. i mean, shit! i barely see one a month and then that happens) but bronze V was a bit harsh xD even if i did go 3/7. Good news is im happily destroying games down here, bronze III atm after a couple days games. Get flamed like shit by my teams though. Best part was making the calls w/ pings all game and leading us into decent fights (people we're following the pings) while basically carrying with leona (stuns op.) and someone at the end of the game saying "yep, my pings too good" and everyone telling him GJ GJ. hehehe not really flaming but hillarious none the less. - And no, he wasnt talking about latency, i asked | ||

It's separate discussion from playing 10 new placement matches. | ||
