Thoughts of my mum , especially this time of year . <| sep |> I fought pretty hard for a season one placement of 53 , which is roughly 2500 season 2 , IIRC , as Lucio solo queue . That was before they adjusted healers who were placing lower than expected . My season 2 matches were awful . I ragequit one match and sandbagged two more . Got put with a party of 4 gold players against a party of 4 platinum . Say what you will about my frustration , but I only played season 2 placement matches for the end of season points for a gold weapon . I promise these teams were absolutely atrocious , and I don ' t feel bad for leaving them . Despite that , I still made low platinum from placement . I can definitely see why they ' re looking to readjust again . I ' ve heard your placement is based more off your personal skill level than your number of wins in placement , but I wasn ' t even trying in half my matches .
