'Placement' Season
The problem is not the placement or whatever, it’s the formula being used. Even if they had a placement, setting a group of high MMR player against low MMR players will always result in the same mess.
Debateable. people who are good enough to reach diamond and legendary arent going to see a large skill disparity, so they wont be effected. Players who reach ruby should generally have an idea of mechanics, and generally be around the same level.
The problem is in sub-ruby ranks, in which the serious pvpers are mixed in with the bads, which this system would fix.
The best improvement that they could make would be preventing party stacking(2 queue and 3 queue versus full pug), and closing the range of MMR used to create matches
I think you should highlight closing the mmr range used to create game cause lots of folks might miss it.
for the two weeks leading up to ranked season, allow players to compete for placement in the actual league season, being placed in amber, emerald, or sapphire. This would prevent the majority of early-season stompings that happened this year, and it gives competitive pvpers something to do instead of hotjoins or unranked.
This would accomplish nothing, it would basically just be extending the season by two weeks.

???????????????????
i guess he means this should take place in the between seasons-time where ranked was disabled last time.
ppl who are lacking in skill gong to complayn though. i can’t really understand how can someone stand a humiliating 15 losing streak w/o thinking about " hmm. it seems i’m not good enough to compete in ranked, maybe i should practice some more in unranked before i give it a try again.". These issues are made up by people who clearly are new to pvp and want to progress right away even when it’s clear that the leaderboard is NO MORE supporting a badly designed GRIND BASED algorythm so they gonna face real opponents after season-start and not just a bunch of pve heroes.

Yeas, it would be extending the season by two weeks earlier. Instead of people getting horrible match-ups the first week of the season, they would be getting those same horrible match-ups the two weeks before the season, no real difference.

While it might be nice there’s really no point to it. Just consider the first two weeks of this league the placement season and you’re in basically the same position.
