What do you think about these new Elo changes?

I know it did. I'm saying if someone decided to start playing ranked right now, played his placement matches and got put at 1500 ELO (like me) he would get gold for only having played 10 games.
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

Well you still have to be relatively good to win that many games; getting to 1500 with placement matches only if you are currently unranked because you don't play ranked would require 7-3 or 8-2ish; most of the people that still haven't used their placement matches are noobs/new 30s and probably wouldn't be able to do that anyway.

Mowen does have a point. I remember when I first started playing ranked, my placement games got me to 1600 by sheer luck really. I wasn't even close to that level when I got there and I dropped to 1200 pretty quickly after that.. So yeah some people might be getting gold by just being lucky.

Ya and people always are getting lucky, carried, paying for elo, etc. It happens. Still just a game.

I don't mind having top elo as a marker considering elo tends to fluctuate. The only thing that bothers/worries me is how quickly you can climb with placement matches. I don't know why there are so few or why they give so much elo so quickly. 40+ elo per game is a little insane considering you're probably not up against very good players yet.
Thanks to Minho for the sig!

Im just thinking this makes all the medals going down a value, and the elo amounts needed for each are rising. (Ie: bronze= none, silver=bronze etc..) Though I am happy that it just became alot easier to get plat elo from ranked 5s and I already have gold elo there to get my janna skin. xD
