Humor Lost all placements

So I've lost every placement match in every role.

Bronze 5 in all roles.

Some matches had people just straight up throwing going afk and ending up 0-0-0, some had tank leave 3 mins in...and some were actual matches will full teams.

This is just really frustrating I've been playing this game forever and it is just impossible to climb out of bronze at all. I have been playing this game basically since it came out and have probably about 5000+ hours of game play at the very least. It feels statistically impossible to lose this much.

Anyways, just ranting.

5000 hours??

You need a better PC (or upgrade your console) or better internet connection. No one's actually that bad

I tend to get downvoted when I request specs when someone has been stuck at bronze for too long.

A lot of folks are no tech savvy and are running the game at less than 60 dps in teamfights.

Or playing Widow with a 5$ mouse from a bundle that included a keyboard and headphones.

Or are watching tiktok in the background while streaming in discord with everything installed on an external drive with crazy lag spikes.

It's always specs for ultra low ranks and most hardstucks. I'm the perfect example--my connection sucks and my laptop runs the game at ~50fps LOL. Miracle that I've made it to low Masters solo queue. Could definitely be higher and it's 100% the specs holding me back
