Whatever happens, can't be much worse than going 9-1 last season and still dropping from plat IV to gold I on my main (currently 1-0, waiting for dynamic queue to be fixed).
last season I went like 6-4 or 7-3 and was placed in the exact same place I was when I ended the previous season, which was pretty disheartening. I'm pretty much done until they turn dynamic queue back on, the quality of the games is so much worse right now.

Yes I was very dissappointed in them turning off dynamic.

I entered my first game was was WTF --- luckily I have gotten my primary role in every game.
And in 4 consecutive games I was first pick.
I used to care about KDA, now I care about CS and Objectives.

I think falling below your actual elo is a great opportunity to boost mmr and tryout new stuff. People stress placements too much, I mean you have whole season to climb.

as a smart man once said

ranked ladder indicates progression not skill

so care less about rank and more about improvement

;)


i am hearing a lot of stories about stupidly low ranks though. i always thought the average was 1200 elo which is around silver rank, so it doesn't make sense to me that so many ppl are dropping below that benchmark

I'm 5-4 at the moment, only one to decide my fate D:

On a sidenote, got a Pentakill with Jax jungle this 9th game which is nice.

I'm just going to wait until dynamic queue gets back, maybe even longer. Want/have to drastically change my roster first anyway, only comfortable champions right now are Poppy jungle, Blitzcrank (highly comfortable but not that great win rate) and a little bit of Lissandra top (rip Shen).
********'s a pretty good fertilizer

Well, those weren't my exact words, but that is indeed the gist of what I said.

Most certainly explains why you were never able to escape gold last season on NA ;^)

  1. I don't play by myself on that account.
  2. MMR is beyond ****ed; still is. Main reason: See the first point.
  3. I was not trying to “escape”, rather just playing on a throwaway account which I use to play with my fiancée as she happens to not have her main account on EUW.
  4. We can't all be crybabies who spam the same nonsense in solo queue for the sole reason that it works in solo queue.
  5. Stop trying to be funny; you're not.
