So when are we going to stop pretending that new players are being put in plat 2 and accept the fact you’re making a 8th alt

Title:

In the last 6 months I have seen 10s or close to hundreds of posts plague this subreddit with same sentiment of.

“I levelled an account to 30 and….” Or “My new account got placed in…” Or “‘New players’ are immediately…”

The small percentage of these people who are actually the players, and I mean SMALL percentage of players that are genuinely new to this game are very VERY likely to be placed in a lower rank especially now after the changes implemented to the placement system.

If you’re being placed in platinum or whatever after your fresh 30 botted account plays its first game in ranked consider yourself the problem.

If you hand levelled an account and pub stomped your way on a one champ only account to 30 to then queue up, why are you expecting to be placed lower. WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE PLACED LOWER?

Are you boosting your friends? Are you stroking your ego? Are you making content to do either of the those 2? Why?

I’m convinced that most of the players in plat 2 + (atleast in my server) are just alts. I’m not calling them smurfs because they’re hardstuck exactly where their main is.
