Thoughts on placement matches?

:Question:Question

Its been over a season since they were introduced and i wanna know everyone's opinions on them, I hate them.

I truly mean i hate them with a burning passion, its 10 unbearable matches were it feels like the game is truly against you, I am a decent player, i can consistently reach diamond 1 but according to my placements, im not even plat 1 but i garuntee that when i play actual comp matches, ill start to move up again.

I won 4 matches OUT OF 10, my previous placements were bad but holy hell this was such a terrible experience, between having one tricks who cant play anything but dps (Poorly) or EOMM agents who im not even sure have a working frontal cortex, its like everything bad about rivals has been crushed into these 10 matches and i dont get the point of them. Theyre not accurate and the matchmaking is so scuffed that people probably dont even finish their placements on account of how bullshit they can be.

For some clarity, i looked at my KDA on all 10 of my matches and noted them, they as as followed. (Match 10 --- Match 1)

12- 6. Lowest was 7-7 scarlett
2-4 playing support, had 4-4 tank and 7-7 moon
27-11 lowest was 18-14, they were doing worse in round 1
9-0 win by forfeit
7-7 as support, had 5-8 tank
4-5 bad match
28-9-51 as rocket win
34-8-34 win as healpool
8-6 tank loss, bad match
15-5-12 as healppol win

I did this because i cant seem to complain about terrible matches without everyone and their mother acting as if i was the sole reason my team lost, as if they were in every match i played. Like im not gonna deny that i had some proper shit matches but the amount of issues i have had with other players in the last 10 matches is actually foul.

No im not gonna post match IDs, im not gonna give everyone here a chance to ignore the actual point of the post just so they can poke holes at everything i do in an attempt to invalidate my experience. 'You took .1 seconds too long to turn the corner so you're the reason the team lost'
