yes, yes I know I'm somewhat in the wrong for making a new account but it was never my intention to "smurf" nor was it my intent to place in a higher rank than I would normally be in. realistically speaking, what can be done to prevent people from getting placed too high? I think having 20 placement games where the predicted rank can change a lot more the higher it is would be good but people would probably complain about that a lot
