Well, I'm new doing ranked and I was surprised when, my team won the 5 games to enter a league and we get Bronze III. A friend told me that they with only 4 victories in the first 4 games they were Silver IV.

So I was wondering that what factors influence to get in a League, because it's not only how many wins we do at first 5 games.

The personal MMR from every one of the team can be a factor?

  • I believe it is based on how good the teams you face are. so luck of the draw. you might have faced 4 bronze teams then lost to the only silver team so you got stuck in bronze. Also if you need an extra guy to fill im looking for a team, i play everyday and gave up on solo que.

  • My first 5 wins landed us in Gold II. I can't believe the difference between two teams with 5 wins ... I would feel so shafted ending up in Bronze III

  • I think it can depend on how everyone on the team has done in ranked ladders, as well as your team's performance in previous seasons.

  • @SadlyNot Yes, we feel that way. Well, we are trying to get Silver at least but playing through the League, but we still thinking about why Bronze III...

    I've looked around and even asked two Riot employees and couldn't get an answer. I am not sure there is a published 'official' answer to this question.

Here's what I know, I'm sorry if it's not a complete answer.

In 5v5, everyone's elo is important, because Riot will match you against a team with similar elo. This is important because it's not just winning that matters, but who you win against.

For instance, if you win 5 games against 5 Bronze III teams you'll be placed into Bronze III-II. But if you win 3 games against Gold 3 and lose twice against Platinum or Gold I, you'll likely be placed into gold.

In short, it's not just the quantity, but the quality of wins that matters.
