Went 3-3 in my first 6 matches. Should have been 4-2 but my team threw hard when I was 16-6 with Syndra at one point. It was me and a fed as frick Shyvana vs basically their whole team. And it was a 55 minute game too

6-4, rode a 3 game winning streak to finish out promos.

Got stuck with a couple of trolls/feeders in a couple games or I realistically could have gone 8-2

Being placed in Silver 3, you'll probably be able to get Gold pretty easily.

I'm pretty happy I was able to avoid Silver 4, which apparently is as close to elo hell as you can get without being buried in low bronze

Went 7-3 and got Bronze I. Buddy of mine went 6-4 and got Bronze IV or V (can't remember which)

Gotta love Riot placement formula

ETA: Not a shot at you btw. That's awesome you got Silver III

It's really not bad. If you're good enough to carry, you will.

The game recognizes the bronzies and places them accordingly.

0-3 so far in my promos, so I guess it's safe to say it was nice knowing you guys. If you need me I'll be in bronze 5, or better known as elo hell.

I love how I hadn't played since probably January, come back do 2 promos so far winning both, don't even type in the chat at all other than "okay" "woo" "gg" and log in today with a 30 game chat ban.

Then the server crashes while loading for everyone and we have an AFK from it and lose 5 on 4. Now I remember why I quit playing this stupid shite.

Good ole League.

Also, why does this game take 5 minutes to find a game now?

Estimated time is always 30-45 seconds but it never finds one until about 4-6 minute range. Ranked games at that.

Never did it before S4.

I went 4-6 in my placements and got in Gold 5. That's where the hidden ELO comes into play. I was Gold 2 by the official end of season 3 and plat 3 by the time everything reset so going 4-6 still placed me Gold.

Why can't they just have a visible number for everyone to see? Clearly there's a formula, so why not just calculate the numbers via the formula and let everyone know where they stand?

Love this game, but sometimes it seems like Riot overlooks the simplest things.

Teambuidler or just regular rift?

Anything other than teambuilder, I haven't had to wait longer than 60 seconds for a game (Excluding the 70 times we get 9 players and the 10th doesn't join for some reason)
