Finally decided to see what ranked was like this season, and I have to say this system is dog shit. Did my Provi, went 7-3, got put in Gold 1. No big deal; I'm not pro and am not concerned about my placement, but this whole tiered division thing, and having to win 2/3 and 3/5 to move up is retarded. I like how they make you earn the league points, and how much you earn is based on the hidden MMR ratio to your teammates/opponents, or whatever the details are, but forcing you to win 3 out of 5 to move up is kind of dumb. I guess they wanted to mimic tournaments, but it doesn't really work. The ratings and leagues should be adjusted on a weekly basis by some kind of calculation to determine what league you're in for that week. The whole "you must win this many games in this span of time to move up" seems extremely arbitrary. There is way too much luck involved, and I could see someone sitting in a shit tier forever because they get unlucky. We all know how streaky this game can be.
And LOL at that video. One of those times where your passive works against you.
