Seems like it. I have a friend who was in plat 4 get placed into silver. He lost some placement games to other people who were in plat last season. Did not ever play against people who were in silver during placements. Wat.

What do you want? If
You were plat 2, do you want to be play 2 again after placements? That defeats the point of a new season doesn't it?

i just want to know why certain people got screwed so hard compared to others.

Like look at this: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/48344783 here's my lolking, plat 1, went 5-5 in placements, look at how far down i went (gold4lol)

and now: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/23840715 goes 6-4, gets plat 2

or my friend: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/19789232 goes 3-7, gets gold 4 from plat 3

im not even gonna mention saintvicious or nintendudex or vman who all went from diamond 1 to gold. It just makes no sense. I just want to know the fucking formula they use to determine this so I can know next season what to do (or not to do) in my placements.

That is quite strange, I was plat 2 went 6-4 and got gold 2 but I'm gaining like +25 per win so it's ok but I see your concern

yeah i gain a lot when i win too. The problem isn't climbing out, the problem is why it seems so random and why other people get placed way way higher than others.

Well, went 9-1 in my placements, put into gold 4. Bronze I'll miss you and all you wonderful adventures we shared over the years. You were a true friend to me when I really needed it.

Blitz really is op though, 6-0 while playing at 1700 MMR with my duo buddy. I still can't believe he's never banned.<3

Now you can stop complaining about how Roffles banned you from Noobleague?

So what Riot wants to do is turn Renekton into a tankier Riven with more utility

OK.

Meh, I think Blitzcrank is garbage now. He has a lot of problems against Leona and Thresh. In a real teamfight in this tank meta he is useless.

The only thing he is good at is creating random picks... provided the opponents are dumb enough.

Blitz is terror if you somehow get ahead though. All the freaking Fog of War hooks are like GG. Like Nidalee spears.

Luckily, only one of those champs actually works most of the time.

Outside of the random cheese you can pull, Leona/Thresh beat him (along with other less FotM supports), and Thresh does everything he does better.

People dont get this shows how little leagues actually meant with regard to skill level/mmr.

People also don't seem to understand the point of a soft reset.

You're SUPPOSED to be placed in a lower league. Otherwise it's not a reset.

From what I've seen, you should be placed around an entire league lower than where your mmr ended up last season. Examples: if you were mid-high gold you should now be in silver. Low gold, then high bronze or low silver. If you were low plat, you should be in high silver~low/mid gold. High plat should place you in high gold~low plat. Low Diamond should land you in low~mid plat. High diamond+ should land you in mid~high plat. Plat 1 is the highest you can place into so everything else is curved based on that. Of course, this is all dependent on how you do in placements.

Not really, you are supposed to change basically a percentage of your deviation from the mean, influenced by placement games (which intentionally allow for more MMR fluctuation). So the reset pulls you towards the mean (up OR Down) plus the placements make each game worth much more MMR.

The difference is you arent hearing people complaining about how they were Bronze 4 and are now Silver 5.
