Went 7-3 in promos, placed Silver II.

I was Gold at beginning of last season, climbed through Plat to Diamond V and stayed there most of the season.

How does that make sense.

I'm just going to ask my friend and we'll duoQ our way back to Plat before classes really start.

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


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.


You guys speak in hyperboles too much. Is Blitz 100% completely useless? No. Is he as strong as he was before when people played lots of squishy assassins? Of course not. Thresh is a great champion, and does many things better than Blitz, but Blitz still has some advantages (namely getting better hooks) and is therefore still viable. And I'm having success versus platinum level players this time around, not just my fellow bronzies.
Hey! How you doin'?

I think the Renekton nerfs are totally needed. How is it OK that one champs whole purpose is to win laning phase without fail.

Edit: That post on reddit right now about the Renekton changes is ridiculous.

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.


I was Gold 3 and placed into Gold 3, so does this mean I had low Plat MMR?

Blitz is fine if your team understands that you are almost completely useless in a teamfight unless you have been generally awesome (or gotten carried incredibly hard). If they are happy to kind of group and wait for you to grab someone squishy for a kill that's great, but if they want to butt heads and get confused when they 5v5 and your team goes 5 for 2, then you're in trouble.

I once had a play mid where my ward spotted a Fid by wraiths channeling his ult, so I flashed over the wall into wraith camp, he ulted over into my team and I pulled him back into the wraith camp. He zhonya'd in the wraith camp while the rest of his team died.

Iunno, as long as Blitz has his hook he will be playable in some sort of situation or teamcomp.

It's ok because he's not very good late. Personally, I think it's good for the game if you have champions/strats that peak at different times of the game. If every champion peaks or have the same power level throughout the game it gets boring plus it lowers variety of viable champions.

If every champion has the same power levels throughout the game, competitive teams will only pick the champions with the highest overall impact.

This no mana shIt is getting really old. It's infuriating that Lucian has a no cost dash, now Kayle ultimate? Wtf

Lucian's E won't have 0 mana cost until level 18. Like, this is a terrible example since Lucian was/is heavily gated by his mana in the lane/midgame.

I just think it's dumb. Firstly I really disagree with dashes being free, secondly I hate spells whose cost scales negatively.

LeBlanc's ultimate being free also bugs the hell out of me.

Having different peaks on champions power levels is good. Having a champion that has no lane counter? I dunno.

Don't worry about promos too much. You'll get wherever you belong after promos are over. I went 4-6 in promos>plat IV, played 3 games so far and dumpstered kids. 27, 30 and 32 points for my last 3 wins.

Does it still take in to account your previous MMR then, despite the reset?

I think it resets your points and LP, variance, and expected MMR, but not sure if MMR is touched. MMR could very well be kept throughout seasons, which would make sense. Promos are largely based upon LP and not previous season's MMR. That allows people to drop or rise extremely quickly while retaining some semblance of ladder balance.

Went 6-4 and got put into Gold 3 after being Plat 5, so nothing dramatic.
