Question for those who 5-0'd Placements

[metalsquid]

I wouldn't worry about placements so much. Once you play enough games I'm sure the algorithm will move you to where you need to be. A 5-game sample isn't really enough data to do that spot-on, so eventually with more data the more games you play, it should find your sweet spot. Pre-reset, I was placed in Gifted and moved up to Masters very quickly, where games started to get challenging. Post-reset I was placed in Super-titan but I'm already slipping down the ranks and am starting to lose more games. More players who were previously ranked higher than me but were unranked are starting to be placed and previous Super-titans who got placed into Gifted or Master are moving back up. So I'll probably go back down to Masters with a few more losses which should be my current 'level'. Just keep playing lots of games and let the system take care of you. The reduction of auto-forfeit to 4 days should help with freeing up that games list
