Apparently they changed the algorithm this season such that assuming you do about as well as you always do you should place just slightly under wherever you are right now (i.e., with less potential to swing wildly up or down).

After rewards were given out, but before preseason.

edit: I may have been slightly off with my timing, but december 15th.

Ani probably cares, since he was talking about Zed being OP on the previous page.

Won 8 of 10, dropped from Silver V to Bronze 3...

Time to climb again.

FUCK!

EDIT: So i finished the season in Bronze 2, climbed to Silver in post-season. I think when the reset hit it used the end-of-season MMR/rank rather than the one I climbed through. That's about the only way I can describe this crazy shit.

Don't sweat it too much Oman. I think it's designed to place people lower than where the system thinks they "should" be.

Also, everyone don't forget to edit in your rank. If you want to be included on the active list, at least put "unranked" in the box

I wish I can get my Smurf into bronze so I can play with my friends. last time I tried I went 6-4 while only playing Zilean support and still got placed in Silver 4 for doing nothing.

My goal is to get gold this season and not be lazy and only play around 40 ranked games and go from S3 into S1

I thought the reset was supposed to be today? I'm surprised that when I logged in I was still G5.

Since I just checked, ranked reset is in about 15 minutes for NA (9 am riot time).

you totally want to play with the first people who queue up in the season. I'm sure they're going to be very reasonable, kind people.
